Animated Self: Research and Storyboarding

So after endless hours of watching both contemporary and classical ballet performances (which I honestly enjoyed) especially this one

 I started looking into the human anatomy and our muscles work. And applying that knowledge to ballet movements Here are some sketches-

And then further exploring some basic ballet poses and moves-

So afterwards I used these sketches as a blueprint for the storyboard. Basically I picked out my favourite poses and decided to animate them. As I was creating a storyboard I decided to pick out a soundtrack for the animation to liven it up. I picked Black Mambo by Glass Animals because it had that creepy, mystical vibe to it, that I simply adored in Sonya Tayehs choreography.
So I built the animation around the soundtrack from then on out, which you can see in the notes of the storyboard-

And finally, all thats left is the most exciting part-animating!
