For Me Just Dance is really simple you
0:04
have everything in the title you leave
0:06
everything apart and you just
0:13
dance it's a perfect game if you love
0:24
dancing what describes best Just Dance
0:27
is a mood booster welcome
0:34
in hello everyone today we at the Jen
0:37
studio in Paris to show you the making
0:39
of Jance 2025 Edition we're going to
0:42
meet some team members and they're going
0:43
to show you the backstage of this game
0:46
so let's
0:54
go you have just to look around you
0:57
because you live in a world of Pop
0:59
cultures so inspiration can really be
1:01
everywhere you need to see movies watch
1:04
TV shows see what new artist are
1:27
trending we start with uh an a brief
1:30
like where does it take place some first
1:32
visual Inspirations we start sketching
1:35
in black and white and we make some 3D
1:38
blockouts very simple shapes and after
1:41
that it's my favorite part we sort the
1:43
color Keys here is um concept art of
1:46
espresso and so as the map is in 2D I've
1:49
already prepared every Assets in the
1:52
Photoshop so the video artist can work
1:54
with paralex my job as a video artist is
1:56
to basically gather all the assets
1:59
that's created by uh the concept team
2:01
whether it's 2D or 3D then we're going
2:04
to incorporate the coach inside the 3D
2:06
space and animate the cameras animate
2:09
all the Assets in the
2:20
background because we film on a green
2:22
screen we have some constraint like
2:24
about the colors we have to have colors
2:26
on the characters that will stand out of
2:28
the green screen we can use materials
2:31
that will be too reflective because you
2:33
can have green on the costume and then
2:35
it will create holes when you do the cut
2:38
of the characters out of the green
2:55
screen the attitude the hairstyle the
2:59
makeup the law of the character is now
3:01
really important and that's what's
3:03
really different between the old Just
3:05
Dance or it was just a costume I would
3:07
say
3:55
Shakir C
4:05
the costume needs to work perfectly with
4:07
the dance so we have to choose flexible
4:09
material so the costume will not break
4:11
during the filming the the
4:14
dday diversity and inclusion has always
4:17
been at the very core of Just Dance
4:20
since its creation 15 years ago so it's
4:23
important that we represent all of our
4:25
players in the game and that they feel
4:27
really uh connected to it that's why we
4:30
have map focus on for example sign
4:32
language or
4:37
ADHD for me as a former dancer uh dance
4:41
is like uh an expression it's a it's a
4:44
way of expression and a sign language of
4:47
course is the same thing and I think
4:50
it's uh two way of expression that can
4:53
uh go together
5:00
a Just Dance corero is different from a
5:03
corero for live show or TV
5:16
show for example also you can't uh turn
5:21
the back to the screen of course
5:23
otherwise it's too difficult to to see
5:26
so we really need to think about first
5:29
the player and what they going to
5:30
experience is through the dance we work
5:33
with the choreographer with a full team
5:35
of level designer and we always find a
5:38
way to score a move to uh make it fun
5:41
and
5:58
playable this year we want to connect
6:01
with the roots of Just Dance uh it means
6:04
with the family side of course we keep
6:07
the challenging p with such difficult
6:10
and aesome Coro but I think we we want
6:13
to make a
6:14
balance when I work on a map on the
6:16
scoring if I want this map to be fun I
6:19
want to feel the fun if I want a map to
6:21
be hard to be a
6:23
challenge I need to feel that challenge
6:32
ky
6:57
ky my will
7:08
we have like new dance style which is
7:10
Electro Dance style which is a wellknown
7:13
dance created in
7:15
France we also went further on the
7:17
original music
7:24
Creations H here H here it's my favorite
7:49
talented dancer and choreographer bring
7:52
their own touch their own spirit in the
7:54
choreography and their own dance move
7:57
and dance style of course their
7:58
differences and reach the game
