Reality Scan

Dancing on the Bridge is a collaborative, silent short film that explores storytelling through animated 3D body scans. We first had our full bodies scanned at NYCAP3D. I imported my 3D model into a virtual environment in Unreal Engine and applied some animations after rigging it in Mixamo. I passed on my files to my collaborator, where she edited her part. We then further refined our storyline and camera cuts together. The story is about both of us living in a quiet village, and we met each other on a bridge where we started dancing.

Introduction

  • Setting: A rural community in a mountainous valley where medieval meets ethereal, with  European architecture inspired stone built walls and towers. The focus area of the story is at the central part of the village where there is a grand fresh water stream with a wooden arched bridge crossing. Other prominent features include the scenic views, windmill, water wheel structure, voluminous floral landscape, and greenery.

  • Storyline: Once upon a time, Evaine lived in a quiet village along the countryside deep in the mountains. The atmosphere was bright and crisp, perfect for a day of fishing at the bridge she thought that morning.When she left the house she was pleasantly surprised to see her friend Sydnie on the bridge to meet her. Sydnie is a nature lover as well and very much felt the hike up the vast mountain was well worth it to enjoy an active day outside together. They both wave to each other and full of energy, Evaine jumps off the steps, and rushes towards the bridge summoning a fishing rod along the rail next to Sydnie. She begins to fish while Sydnie observes and eventually starts dancing to music from her portable speaker. Evaine starts dancing too and the scene ends with a shared dance moment on the bridge between the two.
