About

This cinematic video project directed by Oliver Rose explores the intersection of classical ballet and digital technology. The film opens in a grand white arched hall where a detailed ballet tutu rests on a mannequin illuminated by a strong shaft of daylight. Sequences follow where gloved hands carefully handle archival boxes and delicate costume garments. Laser scanning technology projects red grid lines onto the costume, transitioning into a wireframe digital rendering on a dark grid floor. A professional ballerina in a white tutu performs graceful mid-air leaps against a stark black background. The cinematography features high-contrast lighting, clean architectural compositions, and seamless blending of live-action capture with digital effects.
