Description

Practicing_Distancing_Shrugging is the eighth and last animation in the series Practicing Distancing in the time of COVID-19. In Shrugging my avatar is lying down lifting her hands and shrugging repeatedly. Is she giving up and accepting the reality before her? Does she know that everyone on the planet is dealing with this uninvited guest? We all feel helpless at times and it's okay. Made for phones and social media, these short animations use stock gaming gestures 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.
