I decided to increase the brief to the whole length of the song, but as that would be dull and repetitive I expanded this to move into a new scene by having my dancer jump out into a beach bar with an ocean harbour yachts on ocean, trees and other plants. This gave me the opportunity to experiment with foliage tools and for this to be on an island I could build with mountain range to apply landscaping and material tools and river flowing down to the sea to apply flowing water and ocean as well as island shaping tools. This also gave the opportunity for a cutaway scene of a flyover the island and trench run to add excitement. The discission was also made to populate the bar with customers and thus supporting artist crows to add realism and atmosphere.
Inspiration
Inspiration came from the warehouse dance scene from the 1984 film ’Footloose’ that make Kevin Bacon famous, with wild action sweeping, orbiting, dynamic camera moves.
