Create an Animation

We are looking for someone to animate a silent film that we can choreograph live dance to. The silent movie needs to be 4-6 minutes long. This movie preferably tells a story, and has events that dancers can interact with. For example: a dancer "releases" a balloon and it flies away on the movie; a dancer blows a flower and a flower blows away on the movie. This movie can be in black and white, color, or black and white turning to color if that's the best option. We are looking for creativity in creating the movie, but we need to have the ability to modify to fit the dance if necessary. Collaboration and coordination with the dance choreographer is a must; some edits will undoubtedly be necessary. Please see the attached photo for an idea of what it physically looked like last year.
