It's interesting to see the same sequence through each stage of it's process before the final piece; Here you can see an animatic version of the sequence, then each body part added on and animated in stages:
Ballet Animation Process from Kyle Kenworthy on Vimeo.
I had not realised how important every body part is in an animation, and how each part works together to bring a character to life.
I'm particularly impressed with the secondary action in her skirt in the final couple of tests; the fluidity of the character's movements are brought to life with the skirt bouncing up and down.
Her body language - the way she holds herself - suggests a graceful person who can leap and bound smoothly; Kyle Kenworthy, the man who made this, presented that language very well.
