Avatar Days - HD

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.

Hah, great video.

There is no point in bashing wow too much though. Yeah it's addictive, but that is mostly because it is just complex and fun to play.

You could bash facebook in the same way with the exception that those addicted to facebook spend most of their time revealing their personal information to the world which is used against them later.

The worst part of wow are the raiding guilds, which tends to treat the game as a second job with 3-6 hour nightly runs.

Amazing editing though.

There are no women telling their stories lol I am kinda insulted that they didn't include ONE woman. I for one play WoW, level 80 Holy Blood Elf Pally....come on women DO play! include us! lol

[Allenzo04]

Quit being a woman and point out what you liked about it instead of how sexist it is for not having a woman talk. Everyone knows women play wow silly.

I a look at this video from an social perspective

very good.

[DieKao]

What a pretentious shitty video. "blah I kill people" yeah right. I've never been much of an RP-fan and this video just pretty much sums up why. The whole nose-held-high thing and "herp derp people who raid are weird, let's just sit in goldshire 24/7 and rp"...I mean holy shit. You can play the game however you want to, but this is just sad. Yes the social aspect is important, but it's still a game. Good job on getting 4 guys who represent the tiniest portion of WoW's subscribers. Just terrible.

other wow gamers from dublin like me XD

Very nice vid

[TheDonhiwa]

i stopped wow for 2 years and after this video a think im going back to that game

[MysteryChocolate]

Yeah, it's a real shame because there really are ALOT of women out there who play MMORPGs and are severely addicted too, yet they are never talked about.
