Banjo-Playing Avatar

Banjo-Playing Avatar

Woody created a banjo-playing game avatar of himself. He has used this avatar as a musical duet partner, as a stand-in for him in videos, and as a doppelganger for live performance. He will use Harvestworks’ resources to gesturally direct the avatar, in both character’s movements as well as its musical performance.
