The three main actors are
loosely modeled after the three girls in Las Ketchup (the singers).
We used the bodies and hair that are in Poser to create them.
The main difficulties we
encountered when trying to make these girls dance like in the music
video was synching them up with the music. Creating dance poses was
not difficult, but because the music beats did not always match up with
frames, animating the dance, especially parts that were repeated, was
not easy.
Though it was painstaking at times,
we took care to ensure that body parts never intersected or bent unnaturally.
Often Poser's interpolation caused arms to rotate in the wrong direction or legs to bend
backwards. We found it easier to translate the models in poser in order to move them or a part of them rather than trying to do it interactively with the mouse as it gave us more control.
