Description:
Mimi Goese’s record was completed, and I sought to create a music-video for her song “Believer.” Because the video had to be done quickly for promotional purposes, I devised a minimal piece based on animation sketches created in real time using the mouse (to drive Softimage animation channels) as a semi-dance-partner while the song played. These sketches contained the song-sync, lighting, movement, scaling, and dynamic information that I needed. I meticulously tweaked these spontaneous dance sketches into something more precise. Then information was copied, referenced, and reworked to create lip-sync and complexity, while retaining the dance spontaneity from the channel information.
