Week 11 - Dance Polish & Final

And here's the final shot! This is probably the hardest shot I've ever worked on. I didn't keep track of my hours but I know it's far over 100 hours on this shot. I'm happy to say it was quite a challenge, but it didn't beat me. It's not the best dance in the world, but I'm not ashamed of it either so... (I'm sure I'll say differently in a few weeks looking back on it.)

Week 10 - More Dance Refining

Here's the shot after 3 weeks. Things are getting tighter and tighter.

Week 9 - Dance Refining

Here's 2 weeks in. This is the first refining pass. There was so much work I didn't perfect it all this week.

Week 8 - Dance Blocking

Here's my dance after blocking it for 1 week.

Week 7 Pt. 2 - Dance Planning

And in true AM fashion, we all had to plan our next shot our while finishing our 2nd one. I decided to do a dance (a horrible idea really). After much searching and freaking out I settled on this clip (edited for time). This was from Youtube and some yearly Charleston Dance Competition.



Here's the thumbs I created from the reference. You can see that I plan on changing up the ending already.


And here's a rough layout/staging planning.
