yep, but mainly track mattes

That's achieved by the dancer being in a different position in relation to the other pass with the motion control rig. It's all in camera apart from the compositing, no expressions required!

hi, do you know any festivals which are contemporary dance film focused?

hi yes it was fiddly. It involved constructing a 3d grid object in AE which followed the real grid. This virtual grid could then be used as a Track Matte to mask out elements from each of the 3 or 4 motion control passes. The fiddly part was adjusting the virtual grid with a distortion mesh to match the uneven nuances of the real grid. hope this makes some sense?
