Divers

Short Animation - Color - 3 minutes
Directed and Created by Paris Mavroidis
Music by Kaki King

"Divers" is an experimental animation that was inspired by Busby Berkeley, mass gymnastics and experimental cinema from the 20s and 30s. I created it while pursuing my MFA in Digital Arts at Pratt Institute. As part of the project, I also developed a choreography-based animation toolset which I subsequently used during the animation process.

The thesis paper that accompanied my animation can be found here.
