I asked my friend Heidi what her favorite Looking Outwards project was, and this was it. I had actually watched this video before – I think it went viral about a year or so ago. I agree with what Heidi says in her Looking Outwards post: “…it looks so believable, and yet the textures and behaviors of the people dancing…would never make sense in real life.” When I first watched the video, I actually thought it was people dancing in intricate costumes because the movements and textures looked so realistic. I think the dancing and colors really capture the energy of the music, and the fast paced changes in costume keeps the viewers on their feet and keeps them interested. I think the creators did motion capture technology justice. I agree with what Heidi says her her post. The project is incredibly imaginative and entertaining to watch.
