My earliest memory of the Olympics was watching the summer games in 1988. I remember being mesmerized by the South Korean flag, which I drew in the margins of every school notebook I had.

I thought that it’d be advantageous to book dancers as half of the roles since they could offer much more dynamic poses, giving us more options when it came to compositing the final image.
