About the Films

 

Synopsis

DanceWorld is the 2nd in a series of 3 3D animated short films mashing unconventional music, places and characters to create moments of narrative, wonder and emotion.

 

Director Notes

I've always loved music and dance and wanted to put those together in animation. The animations would not be narrative driven so I could concentrate on making some fun animations. The characters are quirky and juxtaposed in unfamiliar environments, dancing to break stereotypes. By using modern day technologies such as motion capture and photobased modeling techniques, I could concentrate on the nonverbal messages the works communicate. The 3D animation pipeline is accelerated and I can have some fun to showcase some of the most unfamiliar ideas and themes without the commitment of a typical animation short film production.
