(This is one of the Mixed Reality Events at Eyebeam.)
Double Happiness Jeans by artists Jeff Crouse and Stephanie Rothenberg
Invisible Threads by machinimatographer Annie Ok is both a project documentary and promotional film.
The 8-minute machinima uses the format of how-to videos and plays "10 Simple Steps to your very own Virtual Sweatshop with Telematic Manufacturing". How-to videos can be fun to watch. The pace, music, and voice over keep overall tone of this film quite upbeat and maybe suggests a hint of irony to the difficult conditions of sweatshop labors.

Background tech info:
In order to make Double Happiness Jeans virtual factory to process live orders from customers in real world, Jeff spent a long time writing a piece of code that sends instructions from SL portal to the server then to Photoshop (using extension script) on the same computer presenting the virtual factory to print out selected patterns via industrial printer.
Annie offered some insights for machinima. The list includes – speech gesture (using voice chat to activate gesture animation) can be found in the inventory folder for real-time interaction needs, etc.
