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.

@secretMachine I’m …
@secretMachine I’m not comparing the games itself. Of course you can’t compare WoW with HALO or something. 2 different games. But if you game 5 hours a week, it doesn’t matter WHAT you game. Its still just 5 hours of fun in your own eyes.

Blimey, this video is really interesting and amazingly well made. Brilliant! Good way of analysing something like this (and I’m not a even a WoW fan).
