Glimpse
An animated interactive VR experience starring Taron Egerton (Rocketman) and Lucy Boynton (Bohemian Rhapsody), and directed by Academy Award winning writer/director Benjamin Cleary and XR creator Michael O’Connor. Glimpse has been selected to the Venice Film Festival, Tribeca Immersive, and Cannes XR.
For this project, we provided choreography and embodiment design support.
How We Made It
Step 1
Our goal was to create a "weightless dance" scene that serves as a montage in the heart of the narrative. We wondered: can we inspire the participant to also feel weightless in this section? In comes Embodiment Design, which asks us to think from the inside out.
Step 2
Discover the way the participant should MOVE based on how we want them to FEEL. I created a track for the characters to move on which inspired weightlessness and directionality of movement in the participant. This was prototyped out of VR with a rubber duck
Step 3
Create character choreography that matches this movement track and inspires that "weightless" feeling. I worked with dancers in a studio to choreograph a reference video for the animators using multiple angles + figurines. Here's an excerpt all together
