Aukeran dance animation

A rotoscopied 2D animation to showcase the beauty of Aukeran's dances that mix contemporary dance and traditional basque dances.

As I'm not only an animator but also a dancer, I wanted to create this project as an artistical reflection of my soul. A little short film to express both of my passions. I asked Aukeran for a permission to record and use one of their choreographies to rotoscopy it and the idea was weelcomed. Afterall, I'm one of the dancers of that company.

One of the more important aspects of this short to bbe as it is was the montage and direction of images. Even if animation was cool and the visuals where technically amazing, the history and movemmments, the whole dance, would be impossible to comprehend if the aproach was not made by the eye of a dancer.
