The brief

A dancer performs alone in an abandoned theatre lit through holes in the roof. One performer, an orbit move and volumetric light all play to Seedance's strengths.

Visual style

Arthouse film, volumetric light, muted palette, 35mm. Hard shafts of daylight through holes in the roof, dust glowing in the beams.
