Technical.
Odori is filmed in a virtual production environment, then later is completely reimagined with generative AI tools.
Real dance and choreography is captured with a motion control, shot in a green screen studio with realtime 3D environments run by Unreal Engine.
The duplications are mostly created in camera by filming several passes. Cameras, Virtual production and generative AI tools meet in a complete hybrid filmmaking process.

Story.
The film is inspired by Japanese modern dancer Ichi-Go. She reinterprets the ancient Shinto ritual dance of Kagura in a contemporary way.
Odori is a trance-like dance where the performer becomes a temporary vessel for a god.
The story follows a woman who is physically pulled from her claustrophobic reality into a dark, mythic landscape, where she fractures into multiple, battling clone versions of herself, before falling into a dark void.
