Walking the dogs
My outcome was a short film exploring how a prop can be manipulated to develop exciting movement and then, in turn, affect the body’s movement. The prop I chose was balls of yarn which I initially wanted to wrap around the body to restrict movement, but when I saw them all together, I imagined them as dogs with how they moved. This then immersed into the character of a high-class Parisian dog walker. Treated in black and white with classical Parisian music to accompany it, the film exudes class and elegance while exploring a comical side of the ridiculous nature of a woman walking her balls of yarn
