Hi, my name is Clara Anganuzzi and I am an aspiring animator. Recently I completed the Foundation in Art & Design in Falmouth and now I am moving on to the Digital Animation and Visual Effects course at Falmouth University.


For my final piece in the foundation course I created an animation of a silhouette dancer, she represents a lost soul forever looking for her substitute body but alas she never finds it and spends eternity in an infinite dance loop, stuck in limbo. Initially I wanted to produce the entire animation using silver bromide paper but that was almost impossible given the time I had and the costs involved.
I filmed a dancer called Aimee Baker in the studios at Tremough Campus. Together, we choreographed a dance that we felt suited my theme and what I was I trying to express in my animation. From that footage I took a frame to frame shot and then proceeded to edit each individual shot on Photoshop to get the photogram effect I was looking for.
