If it is in the form of photography, it would look like that in the photo. However, it will not be that perfect when filming as the light will change whenever the camera or the dancer moves. The only possible way of doing it might be using the technique of rotoscoping to fix it frame by frame in AfterEffects. For a picture, most likely people are doing finishing touches in Photoshop, making perfect silhouette.
We tried looking up ways to film a silhouette video.
This is nice but has to be done in a studio.
Again, in a studio. Black and white.
This was really cool when I watched it 3 years ago. They are performing behind a projected screen, making use of their bodies to create locations.
All of these are not really what we wanted as they are quite flat images. So maybe filming on location is not we are looking for in creating the style.
How about, instead of filming the dancer on location, we film in a green screen studio? After consulting Phil, we decided to look into making compositions out of photographs. We recalled the video that he showed us when learning AfterEffects in year one about parallax effect. It actually looks pretty decent in creating moving images. Also, we were looking at Limbo the indie game for its interesting quality. We figured just put more layers in the image to create a sense of space. Phil suggested us to take multiple pictures of the location, play with the ISOs other settings. We can animate the objects by layering different photos with different settings together as well.
We are going on location scouting on Monday and a studio test with green screen on Wednesday. Will definitely play around with the photos taken and the footages with green screen to see if the technique works.
Wish me luck.
