Codependence Short Film

Codependence is one of Romantic Child Studios latest short films. It’s a tale about the human experience of codependency and coexistence with the plot being communicated through modern dance. The film won’t be released to the public because we’re submitting it to festivals. However we have put together a small trailer so you can see sample footage.

Codependence Short Film Trailer from Romantic Child Studios on Vimeo.

Innocence and vulnerability are represented in the short film in one character who is cared for by a stronger, dominating yet maternal other character.

Due to the nature of their relationship; a dependency is created which is shown by physical attachments, interconnectedness and weight sharing. The film then explores two different scenarios. Once the codependency is created, both characters become vulnerable yet strong and work together to create something beautiful. The direction changes however when the stronger character abuses their power. The result is destruction, violence and self abuse.

We’ve also used this short as an opportunity to introduce audiences to parts of dancers that they don’t normally get an opportunity to see. By moving the camera in close to the dancers the the audience can see the dancer as human rather than a disconnected visual object. We’ve done this by showing the small details such as blinking, pulses, breathing, reaction and smaller body parts such as the spinal chord, neck, collar bone, ribs and wrists.

Enjoy.

Romantic Child Studios Free Mix Tape

Sterling — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 02:53:44 +0000

Romantic Child Studios has recently collaborated with a handful of remarkable musicians from around the world to bring you a free digital mix tape. The free album begins a few heavy hitting hip hop tracks and then changes pace into some deep DnB songs before settling down with some experimental electronica music.

Trendsetting Groups such as Lynx and Kemo have recently been featured on BBC Radio 1 and have had their album hailed as “electronic genius” . Their new album is breathtaking and has quickly earned the status of a landmark in DnB history.

We also feature Lotus and Troy Dunnit out of Montreal and their track Nu Flava. You can watch their music video for this track below.

However, we start the mixtape off on more of a hip hop note, with a track called “fired up” by Comfort Fit. The album isn’t released yet which is why we only provide a sample for you, but be sure to keep your radar on these guys and pick up their album when it does come out. In fact, it’s worth checking out the entire Tokyo Dawn Record Label roster. They are an experimental, soul, jazz, dubstep, disco, hip-hop collective with strong roots in the early demo and netaudio scene.

You can download the mixtape and tracklisting to your computer or ipod here (coming soon)

Or you can listen to it on YouTube here (there are 3 parts)
