Inspiration for Tyler

Below this post are some dance examples I sent to Tyler for him to draw inspiration as he saw best. By this point Tyler also had images of the location which I will include at the bottom of this post.

Example 1) Bat For Lashes - All Your Gold

This is a nice example of interpretative dance, I like the slow, emotion packed body movements, although the jerkiness of the arm gestures is not something I picture for my final product. 

Example 2) Forest Swords - The Weight of Gold

Here's a track I actually considered to use as the soundtrack for my short film - before realising the dance film that accompanied the track in a separate you tube video! I was amazed that a piece of music I had been listening to over and over whilst trying to ascertain whether or not it was suitable for my work, could then provide me with exactly the sort of imagery I was hoping to achieve myself - long haired boy and all! I particularly liked the mixture of journey and dance, as we see cuts between walking and impulsive movement.

Example 3) Flume & Chet Faker - Drop the Game

I love this video. Although I equally appreciate the dance I don't necessarily want my piece to reflect it's style, what I really like about this is how the dance engages with his environment, especially seeing as it's using a city landscape which is where my film will be based. 

Example 4) Grimes - Nightmusic ft. Majical Cloudz

I like the ethereal quality to this video, although I don't want my character ethereal in the sense of delicate and precious, more out of this world, a being of greater understanding. I have explained this to Tyler also. There is however aspects of movement I really like.
