Extended Practice: Idea Changes

During the christmas break I finding a male dancer. But nothing would come up. Since my search for the second half of the video was unsuccessful I thought to myself "how bad would it be if there was no male dancer?". Then I rethought the concept of the animation. Basically, there two people looking for each other finally finding what they look for. But that is a little cliche, looking for someone to fulfil you. What if the female dancer was torn in two and looking for the other half of her?
So then I remembered something. According to Greek mythologies humans originally had four arms, four legs, and a single head made of two faces. The men were children of the sun, the women were children of the earth and the Androgynous were children of the moon, which was born of the sun and earth. It is said that humans had great strength at the time and threatened to conquer the gods. The gods were then faced with the prospect of destroying the humans with lightning as they had done with the Titans but then they would lose the tributes given to the gods by humans. Zeus developed a creative solution by splitting humans in half as punishment for humanity’s pride and doubling the number of humans who would give tribute to the gods. These split humans were in utter misery to the point where they would not eat and would perish so Apollo had sewn them up and reconstituted their bodies with the navel being the only remnant harkening back to their original form. Each human would forever long for his/her other half; the other half of his/her soul. It is said that when the two find each other, there is an unspoken understanding of one another, that they feel unified and would lie with each other in unity and would know no greater joy than that. However, this concept leads to the question of “Would the other half necessarily had to be another person?”
So I made a drawing in response to this. The dancer has more than one version of her, in the video there will be the live action character and animated one, overlapping and eventually meeting each other to become one. I made three versions of her in the poster for compositional purposes. I am not sure if I will keep it, but at the moment it will do for a place holder-
