"Second Life is an online virtual world, developed and owned by the San Francisco-based firm Linden Lab and launched on June 23, 2003. By 2013, Second Life had approximately one million regular users, at the end of 2017 active user count totals "between 800,000 and 900,000". In many ways, Second Life is similar to massively multiplayer online role-playing games; however, Linden Lab is emphatic that their creation is not a game"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Life

"Linden Research's virtual world Second Life... encourages the creation of user content by including machinima software tools... [Second Life] has also been used for music video clips. Second Life virtual artist Bryn Oh created a work for Australian performer Megan Bernard's song "Clean Up Your Life", released in 2016...

Second Life Machinima film maker Ozymandius King provided a detailed account of the process by which the artists at MAGE Magazine produce their videos. "Organizing for a photo shoot is similar to organizing for a film production. Once you find the actors / models, you have to scout locations, find clothes and props for the models and type up a shooting script. The more organized you are the less time it takes to shoot the scene... Comparatively, machinimists using pre-made virtual platforms like Second Life have indicated that their productions can be made quite successfully with no cost at all... In 2003, Linden Lab was praised for changing license terms to allow users to retain ownership of works created in its virtual world Second Life. "

There is no shortage of resources on Second Life for making videos but perhaps the most complete would have to be the Star Trek Museum of Second Life. Owned and curated by Wabisabi Matahari, there is an extensive series of videos done in 2013 that will give you an idea of the work that has been put into it!

Transporting down to the surface, the teams soon find that others have been there as well, and recently. Although the anthropology team tries to avoid contact with the primitive people there, a member is hit by a giant poisonous creature and is rescued by them. Meanwhile, the Kongo leaves orbit to investigate a huge asteroid on a collision course with the planet. Made primarily of volcanic glass, the object is long & fragile, and the crew must find a way to tow it to a safe orbit.

Shocker. The USS Yorktown arrives at planet Tau seti E for a routine  mission to the colonies but is met by the governor warning of lunar phenomena and electrical shocks harming the colonists.  He wants the visit kept quiet, but Cpt Roger Murray refuses, citing that his crew must operate openly. A crew dispatched to the surface finds a probe and traces it back to a geologist named Fred Granger, a womanizer more interested in pleasure than the shape of the planet. Science teams on the planet and its moon learn that a dangerous electrical potential is building between the two and an electrical shock victim is brought aboard, having been attacked by an electrical creature. The captain of the Yorktown faces a potential disaster which may destroy the colonies if he cannot find a way to stop it, and the data supplied by the uncooperative geologist is of no help. Will they survive?

The ship finds out that their passenger is an imposter as the ship is sabotaged and eventually attacked. The captain must rescue the humans below, but first of all he must rescue his own ship from vile aliens.

Black and White. Aliens on a distant planet receive the broadcast of the 1953 version of War of the Worlds, and mistake it for a real attack on the earth from Mars. An altruistic, friendly race, they dispatch ships to investigate if the Earth needs help, fully aware that the timeline is about 300 Earth years in the past. After their ships are intercepted by the USS Saratoga, ironically carrying the first Martian to serve on a Federation star ship, the Saratoga captain explains to them their mistake. They then invite the Saratoga to visit their planet, where bizarre vegetation soaks up most visible light and the crew finds evidence of fires burning deep within the planet. The Saratoga must extinguish the flames or the benevolent race may be scalded to death by escaping steam and water.
