Very nice! Love the roving cam work! DC
Pooky and Team,
That was brilliant ! Very very amusing. The story line holds the attention. The circumstance is one to which many of us do probably relate. Good work!
ALSL
I love the humor displayed from having multiple avatars. Very nice job!
I LOVE it! And of course the ending really tugs at my heart strings.
You really can have more fun as the alt of a well know avatar.

Pooky,
You are really scary me!
It scares me even more that I actually believe that I understand where you are coming from!
You can be Andy Warhol and John Waters and their cast of Characters .... all yourself!
Brilliant!
Great script.... sums up the quandaries of an avatar!
Pooky-- Great video, it a video that make you go hmmm!!
I believe SL is a great venue in which to explore self, but when is it too much and we are crossing over to show signs of a need for mental health.
Great idea. Lets talk about what Thinkerer Studios can do to promote it
LOL, Pooky! --Sal
Pooky & Rosco!

I thought I had Charactor disorders, and emotional instabilities. HeHe Great job Pook.
OmG where do you come up with these ideas?! Too funny and Too True! Looking forward to more episodes. Think this could be a series? I'd watch it!
LOL. I think there are a whole lot more of us with Multiple Alt Disorder (MAD) than anybody realizes. ;)
Cool Pooky! Can't wait for future installments. Thanks for the tip that the video was up for view. :-)
Chimera
Pooky... I am so glad I saw this and your site.
What a talent! ! I can not stop laughing and I have to keep seeing it over to catch all the detail you have included. It's a masterpiece. At first I thought I was going to have to call my attornies. All those alts... who breached my diaries !
BRILLIANT WORK !
OMG I really think, this is more true, then fiction in SL for sure! LOL, Loved it! Great film and the camera work and editing were superbe!
LOL ... Very creative, humorous and true ... Can't wait until Dr Phil and Oprah get hold of this one!!! ... ABSOLUTELY GREAT from multiple perspectives:) ... Pookey and cohorts you've come through and delivered big time one more time ... much continued creativity and success!
great!
really funny script but tooooo sloooooowwwww.
Id suggest speeding everything up, cutting redundant dialogue and more rapid cuts between shots, a la the simpsons. The psychiatric cartoon idea is fantastic set in this context, Its almost like exploring regular life inside the "Matrix" where reality is much more ... flexible.
If this was cut to be faster with more quips and shorter clips, it could become a sensation on youtube for sure! Keep up the good work!
This is my favorite piece you and Russell have done so far. @tree is right, a tighter / faster edit would benefit this piece greatly.
Who did the music, I didn't see it in the credits? It was perfectly suited. The dissonance in the music created this wonderful unsettled feeling as it bounced along.
Thanks Overman, and Tree, I appreciate the suggestions.
Music is by Kevin MacLeod, listed on the last page of the credits. He provides an excellent range of Creative Common's score music http://incompetech.com/
I haven't has such a great laugh in awhile. Pooky, you are clearly a talented artist and what can I say? This rocks!
What an excellent storyline. You literally left me in the floor laughing. I saw comments saying it is too slow, but I completely disagree. This is not the type of skit to machine gun the lines at us. The pauses and expressions add to the humor - similiar to a Bob Newhart phone call. I have watched it 3 times now and each time I pick up something else that cracks me up. Beautiful work!
