How it feels

A woman in a flowing costume dances. Her sleeves create wing-like shapes around her body. The film adds color to her dress, which shifts hues as she moves.

What happens

Danse serpentine è un cortometraggio del 1897 diretto da Louis Lumière e da Leopoldo Fregoli. Una donna danzante con il suo costume crea con le maniche una forma alata, spesso avvolgendo il suo corpo. Grazie all’intervento di post-produzione, realizzato colorando direttamente sulla pellicola, il vestito cambia colore durante il cortometraggio. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
