I simply scripted and directed the action in SL and shot it off the screen in digital video. Edited it on my Mac, wrote my own soundtrack in GarageBand, and distorted my own voice for the voice-over. I actually created the fictitious Michael Kapinsky’s Brad Pitt lookalike avatar, Chas Chesnokov, and used him in the action.
