"For you I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a losing game

Why do I wish we never played
Oh, what a mess we made
And now the final flame
Love is a losing game"

Thank you watcher and Ann.

Eve thank you. No I haven't seen a tutorial. The programme I use is Qavimator and it has a help section. I don't know whether you know this one or not, http://www.qavimator.org/. It is free which is great and mase by SL residents BUT it is a beta and has quirks. Also you can't do 2 avs at the same time which is a right royal pain in the butt. In the end its all about the tiny adjustments that make the pose look natural and seem to make the difference between a good shot and an ok one. The tilt of the head, placement of a hand etc. Anyways let me know if you want any advice ;-)

Thx Pan ;-))

Eve, well you can close the eyes inworld with an emote. You can get these free, I'll give you one. The only downside is it pulls the eyes and mouth. For this I actually shot it with his eyes open and then used the clone and smudge tools to get the right skin tone and texture of the eyelids. I also used the smudge tool to lift the eyebrows at inside and then dodge the area just next to them so you get highlights as if on a furrowed brow. I smudged a little under the eye to bring the undereyelid up a little also to try to get the expression just right. Hope this helps.
