I'm trying to remember what the various, um, languages were. I did buy a book from the Royal Ballet so we're talking classical I suppose. I'll have to hunt that out from wherever it got tidy'd up to. I think the biggest thing was the realisation that it was a language, and, therefore must have grammatical rules, syntax and so on. Since if it's written it must also have an alphabet and that must equate to a keyboard (albeit with a unique font) and if it can be written through a keyboard it can enter a computer. The interface problem would be the link between the font and the positions the dancer assumes - the equivalent of phonemes and an alphabet of dance. Picking and plonking various sections of a dance sentence onto a poser figure might need python's help. If I remember rightly, that's were we came unstuck none of us were bright enough to work the bloody thing out! Presumably it doesn't have to be purely classical doesn't modern ballet have some extreme moves too? Since then I've come to the conclusion the ballet's relatively simple to animate but only because of the way it's portrayed by the media. Whenever I see ballet, the movements are followed with care by the cameraman anything more upbeat and there's closeups of nostrils and inventive use of transparency to contend with. Imagine tring to rotoscope tapdancing or Riverdance when all you get is someone grinning to camera! Umm, forgive an innocent Brit but does LV stand for Las Vegas? Didn't think it could be luncheon vouchers! I've got this idea in my head that you ran away to join a circus, all sequinned costumes and ... or am I completely off target?
