REVIEWS
| "The wavering images in “Disco” are animated in such a way that makes the movement of the models appear seamless and smooth, which is simultaneously juxtaposed by the scratchy flickering variations in each new sketch, creating an interesting contrast of chaotic disarray and graceful linearity." THE CREATORS PROJECT "This will easily be one of the most beautiful videos you see all month." AIROWS | "The viewers of “Disco” can gaze at the dancer going from gentle to a more intense pace of the routine, still keeping her graceful, ballet-like posture and moves. At some point, it’s even hard to remember that you’re looking at a bunch of hand-drawn pictures and not a real person’s performance." A PLUS "This is absolutely gorgeous. […] it feels like you’re watching something completely mind bending." SPLOID | "Despite the wild variety of mediums and techniques used in the hundreds of sketches, the frame to frame continuity almost serves to enhance and accentuate the motions of the dancers." COLOSSAL "The lyricless song calls attention to the visual aesthetics and provides a unique multi-sensory experience." MADE IN SHOREDITCH |
