Avatar Days: A Gamer’s Documentary

Posted by bilingue | 0 comments

This is a very short documentary about the lives of different people that play World of Warcraft. Amazing work!

This is short film directed by Gavin Kelly (http://www.piranhabar.ie ) we worked on a while ago called “Avatar Days”. What makes this one special is the fact that it was filmed, vfx’ed and comped all in just 4 days. It was made as part of the “4 day Film” catagory in the Darklight Film Festival.

It follows 4 MMORPG players taking about their online persona’s. As they tell their stories we see them go about their everyday lives against the mundane backdrop of city life…but as their Avatars.

There was a team of people on this with director Gavin Kelly leading the troupe. I worked on the 3d characters along with John O’ Connell and Will Sharkey.

John O’ Connell was 3D Lead.
