Hello… My name is Quite Oh, and I’m an animationaholic…
The voice of a hidden group pipe up in unison “Hello Quite!”
My story is simple. I’m a Second Life photographer, and I try to take pictures that go beyond “screenshots” to raise them to a level that can be referred to as “photography”. When I first started, I didn’t like the way my avatar walked or stood. Then someone introduced me to poses. That was the beginning of my downfall. Suddenly, I could move like a real person, and it felt good. But then as time moved on, I found that it just wasn’t enough, I needed more! The poses that were available were mostly glamour poses, modelling poses, but what I want to do is to take images that tell a story! That’s when I started getting hard core. I started taking glamour poses and ratting and grunging up my AVs, putting them in the right environments, then started taking shots that excluded or included only parts of my avatar that came close to expressing what I wanted it to.
Today, I got another fix: I discovered that Imperial Elegance has a series of despair poses.
Despair! Oh Joy!
Imperial Elegance Despaire Poses
Our facial expressions in Second Life are quite limited (Yadni’s Emoter Hud help) but lack in subtlety or nuance, that leaves us with body language. A good picture is not just a good picture because it’s “pretty” or technically correct, but because when you look at it, it triggers that inner sense of recognition and empathy. A good picture puts YOU in the picture. That’s why I was so delighted to find this series of poses. At L$50 they are definately well priced, and the whole series, consisting of 12 poses goes for L$500. I consider this to be a good find.
The poses include three sits, one lie, 7 stands and one OMG I’m going to die collapse on the ground.
To boot, Sai Pennell, the creator and owner of the store is giving away a free animation overrider for females, which is yet another reason to visit the store. I support those who support newbies.
Yay Sai Pennell for creating emotional poses! Good Job!!! XD
Do you know of any more emotional poses? Please let me know!
