Charmagne Ballet Company

A dreamy ballet sequence. Filmed in an apartment building recreation room in a single take with no prior rehearsal. The room is visible to passersby on the sidewalk outside. I was not able to control the lighting or depth of field but felt this clip was worth working on. In the current form, it has been heavily processed with effects and an ambient instrumental music score added. "Charmagne Ballet Company" is a stage name used by the dancer and is used with permission.
