InsideOUT is a speculative fiction short dance film. It tells the story of a distressed woman finding solace after encountering her anthropomorphized subconscious. As the dancer, choreographer, director, & editor, Terri’s aim is to combine live action with visual effects to share a self-portrait in motion - the film reflecting her southern black heritage and spirituality rooted in Afroasiatic traditions. This work is also the culmination of a production pipeline that imposes 3D camera tracking on motion-captured rigs as a tool for visualizing the spatial relationship between the dancers and the camera.
