BEAUTIFUL ILLUSION video



This is it....the 'BEAUTIFUL ILLUSION' video is now finished!

It is a video to display both sides of ballet...the beauty and pain. Throughout the ballet there are four different sections focusing in on the foot/ankle, knee/hip, spine and shoulder/elbow showing all the possible injuries you can get as a dancer. The red dots signify pain and flash on and off when the dancer experiences pain in that certain area of the body. Hope you enjoy!

Special thanks to Aaron Buckley and Jessica Taylor for filming and editing the short film!
