The first xtranormal I saw, I fell in love. It’s not that every conversation should be reduced to monotone text-to-voice, often foul-mouthed cuddly avatars. It’s that they invariably are, now, in my head, while conversations are actively happening.

Here’s my first foray. The web-based software was easy to use but I could not get it to render properly in the final publishing. The camera angle cuts are out of place, with some herky-jerky movements I didn’t put in the script. Hrm. Disappointing. I’ll have to experiment more later. In the meantime, here is how not to pick me up at the Minneapolis Electronic Music Festival.
