Small Story - A tale without words by Arahan Claveau (2007)

I wanted to tell a simple story with pictures, that would appeal to all ages and languages. Using the virtual world Second Life as a backdrop, I constructed a carefully pre-planned narrative from a series of intricate shots, employing a wide array of props, actors and locations. It took a huge amount of planning and time and was my most ambitious photography project in Second Life. Post-production effects were created with Photoshop.

Some of the locations featured include Kowloon, Kriss Lehmann's Straylight, AM's Radio's The Far Away and The Wastelands. With the help and generous cooperation of Kriss Lehmann, Khamudy Mannonen and Flea Bussy. Including content created by Kisskiss Zemlja, Ichigo Mayo, Kriss Lehmann, Memnoch Matzerath and Vas Legend.

Dedicated to Minx Naumova (aka Tanya Lyn Stimmell 1973-2006)
