Eelan the Film

Diversity in Cannes is pleased to announce Eelan as the winner of the 2015 Diversity in Cannes Short Film Showcase. The debut film by Leilani Franco, 2014 University of Westminster graduate, Eelan is an arthouse requiem film featuring an open collaboration of over 50 European acrobats, dancers, fashion designers, musicians and film artists. It begins with the birth of a female creature entwined to a tree and follows her through a discovery of the meaning of life and death as she encounters the beauty and tragedy of nature and civilization.

The contortionist role of Cirque Eloize's 2010 new creation of ID, which toured around the world. I originated the role, creating the choreography together with my dance partner, Sancho Garmatter.

Tai Verdes Roblox

I created the choreography and assisted with the motion capture recordings for the Tai Verdes Roblox concert. Studying Tai's characteristics in his instagram and tiktok videos and interviews, I aimed to capture his signature physicality and style in a way which works best in 3d spaces.

Rooms. A Live Motion Capture Performance

In collaboration with Codercat Studio, we devised a live performance to fit onto the architectural structure of the self-made walls of Mars College, an art and tech residence in the middle of the California desert. With Leilani choreographing and recording 5 versions of herself to represent her various states of emotions during the hard lockdown Corona, she then in the live show interacted with her 5 digital avatars. The motion capture was retargeted by Digital Circus. The avatars and all other environments were rendered and coded by Codercat Studio.

George Ezra Roblox

I created the choreography and assisted with the motion capture recordings for the George Ezra Roblox concert. Studying George Ezra's characteristics in his instagram and tiktok videos and interviews, I aimed to capture his signature physicality and style in a way which works best in 3d spaces.

Denzel Curry Roblox

I created the choreography and assisted with the motion capture recordings for this Roblox concert. Studying Denzel's characteristics in his music videos and interviews, I aimed to capture his signature physicality and style in a way which works best in 3d spaces.

Monster Songs

I created the choreography and was the motion capture artist for four characters for the VR Rock Musical, "Monstersongs", directed by Denise Koch. Medusa, Troll, Vampire Girl, and Zombie girl were recorded with the Rokoko Motion Capture Suit and Software in Hamburg, by VRHQ and also with the gaming company Bagpack Studios.

Torn: A Live Motion Capture Body Looping Performance

For the Bombay Beach Biennale, we took the project Rooms further, by having Leilani perform live in the motion capture suit, with gestures to initiate and end Body-Looping Sequences. In this piece, she plays with the duality of man and inherent human nature, the push and pull, the chase and flight of two lovers, two friends, two siblings. By controlling her avatars live and in real-time, it added to the esthetic complexity of the choreography between the performer and the digital avatars. This was performed at the Bombay Beach Drive-In with the projection on the abandoned truck for the closing of the festival. The avatars and all other environments were rendered and coded by Codercat Studio
