Practicing Distancing - COVID19
Made for phones and social media, these short videos use stock CG animation on my 3D avatar to act out my frustrations during lockdown. Together they form a narrative where my avatar keeps up social engagement by serving drinks and shaking hands, then moves to more destructive behaviours such as flexing, slapping, and rumbling, and running at walls.
In the end my avatar realizes that laying still and not trying to fix things is the best thing to do.
