These two styleframes were our starting point.
Afterwards we started sketch-studies for the character designs, taking inspiration from the Bauhaus Triadic ballet.
We then further developed the styleframes for the entire sequence. Here is a selection.
These are the studies which helped us storyboard some of the smoke-forming scenes.
We then choreographed the dance movements, motion-captured them, and translated them into a computer model, from which we produced the dancing scenes.
