Dancing Crowd

Hi all motion graphics designers. I’m about to create a project, where i need a dancing crowd. They just need to be black silhouettes. I know you could record a dancing person in front of a green screen, but is there any other possibilities? Could it be made in flash?

Type “dancing crowd” in the search bar, I think you’ll find something

Hey, you may be interested in this project: http://videohive.net/item/star-dances-2/411826 This crowd was created in Flash.

Looks interesting. I know I could just buy a project and copy paste the dancing crowd in my project, but i just wondered if some of you knew any tutorial on how to create those dancing people. ?

I have tried to find a tutorial on the internet, but without any luck.

Either by recording dancing people in studio in front of the green screen -> keying (replacing green with alpha channel) -> applying black OR manually masking out dancers -> applying black. The second approach is cheaper but it may take a lot of your time

EDIT : You can make animations in flash but to make them fluid you would have to manually animate at least 25 frames for a second of animation.

yes + For vectorize , you must import all frames with png format and using (trace bitmap) to have vector with very small size .

No. Animation of this type can and should be done with the help of keyframes. Animations 4-5 dancing people takes about 2 hours. Also, very good Bones tool.

You’re right, I forgot about the bones tool but it’ll never look as good as keyed actors

puppet tool in ae should help as well isn’t it? but very minor hands in the air waving though.
