First covered here, the winners of the Second Life 48 Hour Film Project, in which entrants are given only 48 hours to create a machinima featuring certain elements only disclosed at a certain time and date, have been announced. The winners are Team CADE, who put together a zombie movie featuring the contest's key elements: Tony or Toni Martin, Teacher (a character), a pink flamingo (a prop), and the line of dialogue, "That's the way it goes."

The machinima will be screened at 48 Hour Film Project's Filmapalooza to be held at Cinequest in San Jose, CA, March 2008. So far, no word on when the winning entry will be screened in SL, but we'll keep our ears open for updates. Congratulations, Team CADE, and thank you to the Second Life 48HFP Producers Michael Domingo (Kit Mikazuki) & Melissa Robison (Panther Chenille)!

Aspiring Machinimists, this is your chance to show the world your unique vision. The 48 Hour Film Project is an event meant to showcase the creativity and innovation of filmmakers around the world. The idea is simple: you have a weekend to create a movie. On Friday night, you get a character, a prop, a line of dialogue and a genre, all to include in your movie. Simple, no?

Now it's been opened to Second Life, with the goal being a Machinima at the end of the weekend. Same structure, same rules. This event is being co-held with Millions of Us in conjunction with the 48 Hour Film Project. It all begins Friday, January 11th at 4:00 p.m. SL Time, and ends the following Sunday. Every entry will screen in the New Globe Theater in SL on Wednesday, January 16th and Thursday, January 17th starting at 5:00 p.m. SL Time. The winning movie will be screened in real life at Cinequest in San Jose, CA, March 2008. Start your planning now; it's harder than it sounds!

[Thanks, Celebrity!]
