'A Man Carrying Himself' View (MOV)
Techniques:
Based on my sculptures, 3D virtual models are created in Maya and animated in a 'dance' using the movements of real live dancers through the process of Motion Capture.
Data is processed in Vicon IQ and Motion Builder.
A man struggles against his defeated self in the attempt of accepting his own burden.
The four 'dances' with singular moments of tension and resolution will be edited together creating ALIVE.
Giving Birth
Jonah and theWhale
A Couple in Love
Contractions, relief, a painful body and pleasant feelings.
Jonah passionately wishes to discover the secrets of the maternal womb.
The naked courage of exposing oneself to another.
