Return to Big Falcon by MachitopiaStudio

In redesigning their headquarters in Second Life, Avatrian's development team used their collective childhood fascination for the Robot Romance Trilogy as inspiration. The new space has been dubbed Camp Big Falcon in recollection of their favorite Japanese anime television series...Voltes V. The story of Voltes V first aired on TV Asahi starting April 13, 1977 and quickly became a mass cultural phenomenon in Japan, the Philippines, Asia and other countries during the 80s. It has been re-broadcasted in the 2000s and was similarly embraced by a new generation of audience. Return to Big Falcon is a nostalgic look back to this classical period in time and an invitation for devotees to experience Camp Big Falcon...now possible in the virtual world of Second Life.

This machinima is filmed primarily in the re-developed Avatrian Central sim in Second Life. In pre-production, Return to Big Falcon took advantage of dynamic shadow rendering technology for in-world lighting. The scenes were captured using Machitopia's new high-end AMD Phenom 2 x2 550 with Nvidia GTX 280 OC graphics card and 1GB gddr3 memory.
