Busy with Busby

I have been getting a bit obsessed with watching Busby Berkeley choreography of late in preparation to make an animation. In the 1930's Busby emerged on the film set although he couldn't dance a step himself! He did however have his army training which influenced his military like formations with hundreds of dancers. Geometric and Kaleidoscopic effects were his speciallity. With giant cut out heads, dancing violins that light up in the dark and synchronised swimming - whats not to like?! The costumes are fab too.
