Better living through machinima

The amount of creative energy that goes into building artificial worlds is astonishing.  Now a group wants to channel that energy into building solutions for the real world.  Using the popular appeal of Machinima - cinema made in virtual worlds - Quest 2 Change Real Life is asking for your help.  This is what their website says:

"Machinima (machine cinema) is where video and film makers stage their productions in online virtual game worlds (like Second Life or World of Warcraft) and use their game characters as movie stars. The Quest 2 Change RL video festival invites you to submit stories that you create inside these virtual worlds (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games) or any computer or video game world. Your film should specifically address the climate crisis, loss of biodiversity/extinction, and/or environmental justice. The type of action and solutions you offer in your under-five-minute machinima video is up to you, but could include concepts like the "guardianship of future generations" and the "precautionary principle". You can incorporate "real life" video footage as well, just be sure to tell a good story!"
