Stills of the dancers

Her are some stills of what the dancers are working on at the moment.

I was first sent these shots


Which concentrate a lot on the lifts. Already this looks exciting and looks visually exciting. However i looked at one still which is the last still were the female dancer is bent over his shoulder. I found the angle to be a bit odd looking and not very elegant. I sent an email to Katie who is the choreographer for this project and asked if she could do the lift again but from the side, so you could see the two bodies and how the female dancer has curved herself to fit around the male dancers. This is the photo they sent back.
This photo instantly looks better from this angle as you can see the lovely curves and line work of the female body and how strong and steady the male is positioned.

This has made me take into account as to what angles would instantly look more appealing to the viewer and what would help define the figures. So when filimg for the reference and the animatic i will be finding a cinamotographer for the filming so they can help define the perfect angles for this peice and what is the best point of view for the movement of the dancers.
