LUMIPro Spotlight


This LUMIPro Spotlight brought to you by Eli Wallace of Gallery Assis.





Skip Staheli - I adore Skips work, he is a master painter in edit. also one of the Assis Aeternum. For me, Skip captures emotion, he feels the image and never disappoints. This image is a preview of his current exhibit at Assis "No Air" - his love of creating shines through in every piece he does without fail, you can see the hours and hours of edit he puts in - would love to be a fly on the wall to see him at work in PS.

Emaline - This girl has talent, I have been watching her flikr for sometime now, has a good eye and good sense of lighting.

 Avid follower of Greg and Peppers Slideshow - always interesting to see what appears next, great concepts for images.

Adore the expression, mood and lighting here. A scene set, a story there.

 ***************************************************** 



Darius - Assis Aeternum . Dar is my right hand man at Assis and invaluable. I have watched his work develop which sometimes leaves my jaw on the ground. His attention to the tiniest detail sets him apart, always a pleasure to shoot with him. This shot was for the opening of Alecat Breda's exhibit Cirque du Freak - a charity event held at Assis for Childline. 

***************************************************** 



Lincoln Garnet - Assis Aeternum. LInc is a big advocate for Lumipro. When you look at his work - you can tell - Yea! thats a Lincoln Garnet. This image is one of the 3 images in his angel set.

  My final choice and this hit me hard. It;s beautifully shot and finished but the subject sad but very very effective - I would love to know what prompted this image.

Unified Heart 2013 @ Palais Orleans Gallery



After the phenomenal success of Unified Heart last January, we see this fabulous gallery show  back for a second round, and just as phenomenal  as the last.

For those who may not know  Leonard Norman Cohen, CC GOQ is a Canadian singer-songwriter, musician, poet, and novelist. His work often explores religion, isolation, sexuality, and interpersonal relationships.

Some of the best and quite possibly some of your favorite singers have covered Cohen through the years. 


It’s almost unbelievable now to think that we almost never heard Leonard Cohen, the singer. A well-regarded poet from the late 1950s through the mid-’60s, it was Judy Collins who encouraged the middle-aged Canadian writer to try his hand at performing his own songs, and the rest is history. She also had a successful cover of Cohen’s “Suzanne”. (from this article: 30 Great Covers of Leonard Cohen. )

My personal favorite  song from Mr. Cohen aside from Hallelujah is Dance Me To The End Of Love .



Morgana Nagorski, owner of Palais Orleans Gallery, works very hard to bring the best of the best of Second Life art and artists to us. She is also an artist herself and her work graces the pages of The Best of SL Magazine. Morgana says she "
has been a Leonard Cohen fan since her epiphany in 1974, when she woke in the middle of night to the strains of “That’s No Way To Say Goodbye” playing on the radio she had left on when she fell asleep."

With this gallery showcase of Cohen's work she received some good press and press from out of Second Life as well. You can read that article HERE. 






Please take the time to visit the Gallery, it is well worth seeing . 

We at LUMIPro are so pleased and very honored to have sponsored this gallery.

FROM THE DESK OF STEFAN BUSCAYLET:
Creator of LUMIPro in Second Life

Palais Orleans Gallery Complex has held a special place in my heart as the birth of LUMIPro was through the collaborative works between me and the first curator of the gallery.  Although times have changed, my love of this gallery remains.  Their most recent showing of Unified Heart 2013 represents the works of Leonard Cohen.  A staggering 21 super stars of the art world were represented and I’m happy to report all of the artists are LUMIPro users and most used LUMIPro in this showing.  The buzz created by the show covered every major "who's who" in the SL world and was picked up by major syndication feeds.  And to top things off Morgana received press outside of SL!!   I'm stellar proud of the gallery's accomplishment and especially to Morgana personally who continues to be both a personal friend and supporter of arts and LUMIPro.  If you have not seen the gallery, I encourage you to make it there.  It’s something special.

LUMIPro 3.2 Tutorial - Sit ball and REM



The holidays have had us all a bit behind what with our real lives, family, holiday planning and shopping and parties, Stefans travel log and the LUMIPro holiday sale we have been HUGELY busy.

Stefan was able to get a few quiet moments to finalize this training video on *Whats NEW* with LUMIPro 3.2 and its ease of use as well as it's awesome features.  These features include the new "sitball" for adjusting the talent's position, rapid eye movement (REM) for machinima, and improvements to the backup server.

Corrine was able to get the manual  updated for all of us as well. If you have any questions about the HUD you will find the answers in this manual, she did an amazing job ! IF you do not find the answer in that manual, jump in the group chat and ask anything over 200 group members in there and they all know their LUMIPro HUD !

(people have been asking to see the whole video of Starr using REM.  Click here)

Join the LUMIPro Group here .


Now lets see what is new!





We think you are going to be pleased! As always feedback is requested , questions are welcomed.

Welcome to LUMIPro!
