For the Form, Flow, and Force part of visual language we had to fine animations which life drawing and the human form is explored. So the video above is a behinds the scenes of an animation called 'Thought of You', in this animation it shows two dancers performing to a piece of music and the way the animator made sure the movements were right was that he got two actual dancers to choreograph the dance and preform it so that the animator had something to reference. Ryan Woodward (the animator) created this animation by using the same techniques as traditional animation like layout paper and tracing over the last drawing but slightly changing something, but he was using a computer so that he could add in some effects as well.
One of the things I like about this animation is that the movements that Ryan Woodward had captured looked so realistic but yet not because at one point the male dancer starts moving while his hand and feet are left behind. I also love how the animation helps tell the story between the two animated dancers and how at the end the two dancers change form like the female dancer goes from being a light drawing into an actual real life looking drawing.
