Anyone who’s filmed or photographed an event knows that it’s easy to lose a lot in the distance between the dancing and the camera.

In a viewfinder, intimate cypher battles suddenly become sterile. Dynamics of a hyped battle become a jumble of blurs and static. Subtle flourishes get drowned out by acrobatics and roars. Expensive as a camera might be, there has yet to be a feature that can automatically capture an event’s atmosphere. A quick scroll through the comments of any battle clip reveals dancers lamenting that the footage doesn’t really capture what really happened.

Continuing on our mini-theme of unconventional event trailers, Botanik comes through with a powerful summary of the IBE experience.

As much as it’s been said before, it’s the little things that count.
