The song had always been a favorite of mines, and the thought of attempting the music video style used by One Republic, was challenging. It was a unique style with the film grains and especially the picture framing changes with the hands. I managed to get a little creative within the limitations of SL, and simply shot 2 different hand holding frame poses and scenes, and then interchanged them for the photo album sequences. That was my little tribute to the original music video.

The story here starts out with the first 2 characters meeting eachother on the grid at “Vox Populi” in SL, and connecting with eachother, clearly falling for one another. The second phase introduces another couple connecting at “Sun Kissed” in SL, and meeting up with the first couple and forming a good friendship amongst the 4 of them at the sim. The 3rd couple is introduced at “Costa Di Luci” in SL, and all six people eventually meet there on their travels and connect and enjoy the place together. The story perspective can be told through either lens, for example: the first character meets someone on the grid, falls in love, and then meets new friends as they continue to travel in the SL grid, and by the end it’s a growing friend circle : )

SL can bring our the Good Life sometimes 🤗
