As a semi-retired citizen of Second Life (SL), the virtual world, I still watch the happenings there. One of my main sources of news is the New World Notes (NWN) by Wagner James Au.
Second Life is an immersive experience and host to some of the finest, most eclectic artists I've seen. Here are some photos of the build, Twomoons Island (no longer on the grid), where JAS store is located. If you've never been to Second Life, you'll need to sign up (it's free), and download/install a viewer, to see this location in person.
Machinima is very popular with Linden Lab, the creator and overlord of Second Life. By definition machinima is produced by fans, and this is the case with SL as well. And some of the works produced are indeed outstanding.
This first video was produced by Douglas Gayeton, whose site is called RumpleFarm; he's an accomplished multimedia director. To see the back story, check out this article in NWN.
This second video was submitted as an entry by Nitwacket for a competition titled "Seek Wisdom," sponsored by the University of Western Australia (UWA). To me, the video oddly exhilarating:
