breakdance animation, 2003

screenshot from a video of a bboy break dancing

I was asked by a b-boy friend to tape his audition video. At the time, he was managing a b-boy website and asked if I could create a visualization of breakdancing. Initially, we envisioned a logo or a series of drawings of breakdancers. However, my friend indicated the importance of capturing the movement and emotion. We selected a short, 13 second clip from his audition video, and I rotoscoped this animation at 29.97fps. Tools: Macromedia Flash.
