National Ballet of Canada: Lost in Motion
Opening on a lone male figure, Ben Shirinian’s two-minute film pulls its viewer into the world of dancer Guillaume Côté as he loses himself to his movement in an undefined, mysterious space. Combining live action with subtle visual effects, Lost in Motion encapsulates the precision and technique of the dance to beautiful effect, exposing the strength and athleticism behind it.

Powerful. Elegant. Stunning. It actually gave me chills the same way old videos of Baryshnikov give me chills.
I had the exact same feeling! A great artistic ad! Love the video editing!
Damn. Me too. Really.
And the end was very surprising. Nice twist.
This is a really nice spot. And I'm a straight male. kudos
This spot made me look for Guillaume Côté on the net.
Beautiful choreography which makes you sing after looking at this amazing performance.
THERE'S NO HEAVIER BURDEN THAN A GREAT POTENTIAL
Had this been a lady it would've been termed inappropriate : |
Jokes aside.... must say a beautiful spot... Might be a biased view but for me, a guy with two left feet, well executed dance is always beautiful..
Amateur for life!
Great performance. I'm not sure about those "attachments" but still they don't ruin it for sure, nonetheless i don't think they add something to it.
His movements and elegance of every gesture is perfect. Great to see that Ballet is aware of what is the most powerful argument for going there.

Beauty at its best.
Beautiful choreography and photography, but the music didn't really fit for me.
Very good choreography and nice twist at the end, though the chroma keying is poor.
He certainly has some dance moves.
... and decent muscles, I guess.
