00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:06,166
{\an8}My name is Hillary Bradfield
and <i>Reflect</i> is about body positivity.

2
00:00:07,041 --> 00:00:13,666
<i>The idea for this short began
thinking about my own body philosophy.</i>

3
00:00:13,750 --> 00:00:17,791
<i>I feel like I'm a very
body positive person in principle,</i>

4
00:00:17,875 --> 00:00:22,708
but when it's on a personal level,
it's a lot harder to be body positive.

5
00:00:24,166 --> 00:00:27,208
<i>Setting the story from a dancer's
perspective seemed just natural,</i>

6
00:00:27,291 --> 00:00:30,208
<i>and it's a part of the craft
to be looking at your posture</i>

7
00:00:30,291 --> 00:00:31,916
<i>and checking things in the mirror.</i>

8
00:00:32,083 --> 00:00:35,500
<i>So it just seemed like a really good way
to put her in that environment</i>

9
00:00:35,583 --> 00:00:37,958
where she has to look at herself
and she doesn't want to.

10
00:00:38,833 --> 00:00:42,708
<i>When I pitched the short, I didn't know
that it was actually super challenging</i>

11
00:00:42,791 --> 00:00:47,375
<i>to animate dancing and then also do
reflections in CG. That's really complex.</i>

12
00:00:47,541 --> 00:00:50,583
But the animators were awesome
and totally up for it.

13
00:00:51,458 --> 00:00:52,791
<i>When people watch the short,</i>

14
00:00:52,875 --> 00:00:56,208
<i>I hope that they can feel more positively
about themselves</i>

15
00:00:56,291 --> 00:00:59,708
<i>and how they look and feel okay
about the tough parts of the journey.</i>

16
00:00:59,791 --> 00:01:02,333
Sometimes you go to the dark place
to get to the good place

17
00:01:02,416 --> 00:01:05,000
and that just makes the good place
that much more beautiful.

18
00:01:34,208 --> 00:01:36,291
Two demis, one grande.
Port de bras.

19
00:01:36,666 --> 00:01:40,875
And five, six, seven, eight.

20
00:01:44,791 --> 00:01:46,375
Tight tummy, long neck.
