The Body Elements of Figure Skating

This video was made for an interactive media course.

My inspiration was the idea of how body awareness impacts the ability of a skater. I focused on how every action of the body, such as extension or core strength or posture, relates to the overall quality of skating. The piece is meant to show how these elements come to play in practice and eventually the practice takes the skater to their success in competition, where the body awareness comes naturally and they can focus on entertaining the judges/audience.
