picture: draft limelight

the work in limelight is project-oriented. in the project-window you collect all media belonging to the choreography. the media ranges from the storyboard, music (as sample and as notation), video, pictures to animation control data and dance-notation. some media will be imported other media will be entered here or generated. the media could be synchronised via a common timecode.

an important instrument is labanotation from which a computer animation will be generated. as host-program of labanpad the notation can be imported or newly entered in limelight. in opposition to the small display of the apple newton computer you could work stationary in a large format. labanotation is also the basis of a future expert system for choreography.
