Dancing Human Form

Dance animation from Koen De Koninck on Vimeo.

This animation is from an Animation student a couple of years ago based in Brussels. A piece of second year work. I think it is so charming, the student has gained such a real understanding of how the human body moves when dancing and some of the follow through of the excess weight is so well done, it bounces in all the right places. There is a confidence with the movement and it's really nicely done. Although I struggle to believe that a woman of such weight would be able to lift her leg that high. And although the hands and feet are exaggerated it does give her an added daintyness to make you believe that once upon a time a long long time ago she could of been a ballerina.

Another aspect of this animation I really like is the background, the colours are so compelling and the line work makes it look like a very european setting, the details are just perfect. I only hope I can produce something so well don ein my second year.
