A little while ago I created an animation for a Sydney Dance Company production called 6 Breaths. I just got around to uploading it to Youtube.
The animation was directed by Tim Richardson and produced at Collider in Sydney.
It was incorporated into the performance by being projected on a giant piece of see through material during the show. This allowed the dancers to perform behind the animation and lights were turned on and off to make the dancers seem to appear and disappear. The dancing was amazing and it was thrilling to play a part in a project like this.
Quick break down: Two of the dancers were laser scanned and then brought into Maya where I wrote a script to break them up into pieces. These pieces were then assigned to particles that controlled their position and rotation to get them to form into the correct shape. The main shots were rendered in 3Delight with the more distant shots in Mental Ray and hardware render.
Enjoy and please make it HD and full screen!
