Online virtual worlds have become a platform not just for gaming and social interaction but also for filmmaking, promotion, and commerce.  Chip Matthews, resident O-Zone 3D guru, has created characters and assets that have been used in award winning machinima, Hollywood film promotions, celebrity appearances, simulcast concerts, and virtual commerce.  His work has been featured in HBO's groundbreaking machinima film Molotov Alva and his Search for the Creator, a viral marketing campaign for Scion, virtual world appearances by Dilbert creator Scott Adams, internet celebrity Tyla Tequila, fortune 500 CEOs, and promotion of the Paramount movie Beowulf.  As a pioneer of virtual world commerce and content creation, Chip has been a guest on NPR's Kojo Namde Show and interviewed by USA Today, Apple Games, and other publications.
