Koni LanziusConnie Lantz (Instructional Technology)
My virtual world name is Koni Lanzius.
These videos were captured in the virtual social world called Open Sim Grid. One showcases all the different avatars I wear, called “Shapeshifter Blue;” one is a tribute to the great horror rocker, Alice Cooper; one is my friend and me as little dragon avatars, cutting the rug in a 20’s speakeasy club called the Hi Hat Club. Finally, the one titled Elvenworld, is my large virtual land space that I host on my own server that I crafted as a tribute to the LOTR mythology by the great J.J.R. Tolkien. This is a 3-dimension land space where you can log into Open Sim grid, visit my lands and ride horses, surf, sail, dance in a drum circle and more!
This type of video creation is called Machinima, (Machine + Cinema)

The Dragon and the War Elk seen in the images are made of wire armature with paper/cloth meche. Scales or wool were added to the pieces to add realism. Clay and other ornaments were added as teeth, claws and antlers. Both of the figures riding the beasties are Barbie and Ken dolls, modified. The dragon has a four-foot wing span.
