[VVP] Discovered Recognition
After the premiere of the VVP machinima, Discovered, there has been several groups and individuals who have posted about the movie. We here at OLP wanted to take a moment and thank them for their words and recognition! Read below for what each group/individual had to say:
- Overman's blog, on July 7, 2009, wrote "Rik Panganiban told me about this Global Kids machinima project. It’s nice to see kids making use of this technology, and particularly impressive that they’d choose to do so about such a serious topic. Created in Teen Second Life, this one isn’t about production values but instead about human values. Thanks, Rik.".
- Service Nation, talks about the premiere of Discovered, which took place on July 1, 2009. They described the premiere by saying, "What do you know about child-trafficking? Probably not as much as you could learn on July 1. That’s the day that the kids of the Virtual Video Project will be premiering their movie, Discovered, the story of a young Mexican girl who is sold into sexual slavery." The post also gives background for the Virtual Video Project and past projects, saying "The Virtual Video Project is designed for kids who are interested in film as well as public policy. They learn things like storyboarding, script writing and acting, as well as how to produce and edit their own films. In the past, participants have created animated movies about the rising power of media to affect young minds, race and child soldiers. This year, the kids, age 15 to 18, chose to focus on child sex-trafficking, a problem that is rampant across the world and in communities across our own nation."
