“Time out of Time” animation story board

First round of ritual : 1’30
○ Image : Dual shapes with saturated matter
○ Sound : low noisy drone evolving (from Amman city ambiances
○ Lights : same as previous + a side spot a the opposite of the dancers entrance facing them, low intensity.

Second round of ritual : 1’20
○ Image : small particles and drops shining , apearing and disapearing at different places of the screen
○ Sound : development of the previous low drone with medium and high resonnant parts of the spectrum.
○ Lights : same as previous

Third round of ritual and forming the line : 1’25
Until Kate joins Anas, everything remains the same but starting from this point :
○ Image : liquid matters joining together and build a single floating mass above the head of the dancers
○ Sound : a new layer of sound is added with inner cyclic movements
○ Lights : same as very beginning

Second round of ritual : 1’20
○ Image : small particles and drops shining , apearing and disapearing at different places of the screen
○ Sound : development of the previous low drone with medium and high resonnant parts of the spectrum.
○ Lights : same as previous

Scene 3 : the universe / orbiting – 1′ – Part 1 :
○ Image : the water disapears and the circle multiply itself and we have several circular elements spinning
○ Sound : low motor like sound is divided in several tinny ones with same dynamic shapes at a higher speed.
○ Lights : side spots on the floor

Part 2 :
○ Image : a giant vortex appears progressively and “eats” the whole image. ○ Sound : acceleration of the sounds going to merge in a single strong low frequency.
○ Lights : is disapearing progressively HERE we propose to move the part «Zig-Zag» after «Equalizer» and have like 2’ of images and sound only.

Scene 4 : Compass – 1′
○ Image : No
○ Sound : percussive sequence upon notions of rebounds and offset which tends to structure a rythmic pattern
○ Lights : side spots on the floor

Scene 5 : Equalizer – 2′
○ Image : a mass of spaced drops apears on the whole screen. It allows to see the dancers and at the same time immerges them in a kind of aquatic matter
○ Sound : development of a rythmic pattern
○ Lights : side spots on the floor

Scene 6 : Zig-Zag – 1′
○ Image : 2 strips with straight lines moving in opposite directions at different speeds
○ Sound : de-construction of the rythmic pattern by use of shuffling and stretching of the sound matters/
○ Lights : side spots on the floor

Scene 7 : End of the ceremony – 1′
○ Image : vertical lines apearing very progressively and concentrated in the middle to create a surface almost round (gathering and crystallization of the liminal matter)… then the image disapears with the first snap of the dancers.
○ Sound : Breathe morphologies thinner and thinner but at the very end, a big and quick crescendo of noise with a clean cut just before the snap.
○ Lights : side spots on the floor at low intensity first then same screscendo as sound.

Scene 8 : Break the trance – 1′
○ Image : No
○ Sound : The first snap to the dancers trigs a very stable soft low sound during the Daniel’s solo. As the group is stepping backwards, a pulse is started and lasts until the end of the scene.
○ Lights : side spots on the floor medium intensity

Scene 9 : 2 groups – 3′
○ Image : Two big semi-circles on the side of the screen are spinning and inside them several little semi-circles or small vortex that group them together
○ Sound : variation around a pattern of 3 elements derived from the count of the dancers mixed with a breath-like sound following a slow panning from left to right and back
○ Lights : side spots on the floor low intensity

Final scene : the layers of liminality
A proposal for a scene without choreography – 1’30
A very dense and immersive matter made with a multitude of shapes but it becomes slowly a single big one that invades all screen space. A big wave of intense drops. Then this is covered by a layer of folds which comes down from the top on the whole screen.
