Dance Rehearsal Musical Project
This project combined my love for musicals, lip-sync animation, and pantomime! I used an audio section from I Love Play Rehearsal (Be More Chill), the Ellen rig by Antonio Méndez, created a storyboard for clarity, and filmed my own reference for the first half of the scene. For the second half, I studied ballerina movement online and drew inspiration from Isabella Boylston’s Don Quixote performance to match the song’s energy.
Learning Outcomes:
Through this project, I practiced applying the principles of animation, specifically timing and arcs, making exaggerated ballet poses feel fluid but also believable.
