‘Avatar Days’, the first short film by Piranha Bar’s Creative Director Gavin Kelly, picked up its second major award by winning Best Documentary Short at the Rushes Soho Shorts festival in London.

Originally created for the Darklight Festival’s ’4 Day Movie’ project, ‘Avatar Days’ is a portrait of four online gamers in Dublin whose daily lives contrast with their virtual identities.

Advanced 3D technologies and Motion Capture animation were used to insert the players’ in-game characters in place of their real selves against the backdrop of the banal urban landscape which they inhabit.
