 What you will see there is a movie set. My final works are LIVE MOVIES you can see by sitting on a movie chair.

REMARK
I call it "Movie Set", because I will make movies with it. But don't expect longer traditional movies with story telling. Live Movies are still in an early stage. The movies are short and they don't tell stories. Nevertheless I hope that they "move" you somehow. But I want to tell also stories in the near future. There are some problems. First of all programmable lipsync. Then actor bots, which look and act like "real" avatars and are programmable. And so forth. Here at UASL it will still be experimental with maybe some small steps to story telling.

The movies are ready to watch now. Maybe you begin with "TANNHAUSER GATE". Go to the movie chairs, it's the first, the black one. Sit on it, and push ESC. The movie begins. When you see the 4 colored balls, click them and lean back.   TELEPORT URL

      THE "STORY"
You are in deep space now, in front of Tannhauser Gate. The entrance to everything you are longing for. But it's not easy to pass. Listen to the "music". It's the language of that world behind the gate. You have to learn that language, which is not comparable to our human languages. You can only enter, when you understand it. Means: You can't enter immediately..
The script will unsit you when the movie ends.

 TECHNICAL THINGS
The "flickering" is made by a script using random numbers. That moves the camera. And that movement is part of the sound you hear.

These are the movies you can watch now:

- TANNHAUSER GATE  (1:50 min)
- CRYSTAL SPACESHIPS (1 min)
- TRANSMITTER (1 min)
- THE SWING (1:10 min)
- CASCADES (0:50 min)
- JUMP SEVEN GAME VIEW (NOT THE GAME) (1 min)

Try to watch the movies to the end, they are really not long. When you stand up before the movie ends, there is an error message sometimes, sit down again then. If you don't sit down, it lasts a short time until you can use the script again.

THE SWING
is not as easy as the other short movies. It has it's own script. I added a script, so that you can trigger some particles first. When you click the swing, you will be sitting on it. But before you begin to swing, click the swing again and push ESC, you will see 4 particle balls. When you see the 4 balls, it means the (my) movie script is running. Click them and begin to swing. After some seconds, click the middle of the black frame for some red big balls. Then it's done and you can relax and push the swing for nice pictures the camera catches then.
So it's 4 clicks. If it doesn't work, try again.

JUMP SEVEN
is a simple movie game. A camera script sends you to a START platform, then to seven other platforms, and it ends at the START, now END platform. You have to stand on each platform with a double click and click white particle/sound balls. Platform 1 has one ball, platform 2 has 2 and so forth, until platform seven with seven balls. If there would be a competition, the one with the most clicks on balls is the winner. But you can play it alone and try to have all 28 balls clicked. Have fun :)
You can have the "Teleport to clicked point" with
Preferences – Move & View – Movement – Double click on land – Teleport to clicked point  (Firestorm). You'll need a HUD for this game. The HUD Giver is next to the START platform.

Note:
When a movie script runs, you can see the movie camera only after you push ESC on your keyboard.
When you use a movie script with a menu, don't forget to leave with >> EXIT <<  to have your standard camera back.
Movies without a menu unsit you at the end and releases you from the movie camera.
