TimeCopy is a short experimental dance film. It was inspired by the children's book Momo, by the German author Michael Ende. The film is about time and the vibe of a mass of people, in this case dancers. In real-time the dancer danced very slowly. It was up to the director to manipulate the speed of the movements, change the dynamics, create the layering and to manipulate the order of the choreography. The goal was also to look for the boundaries of a computer program. Furthermore the film is about the longing to belong to a group, but also the fear to get lost in it, in other words the fear of losing yourself and giving up your own identity. The vibe of a mass of people is visually shown by layering the same dancer time after time, and giving each dancer an unpersonal look by making silouets of them.
