Dance like nobody’s watching you, dancing in the shower or the elevator, and being embarrassed when spotted. These are situations that happen in daily life all the time. We love to express ourselves and have some moments of fun in between the mundane tasks of societal life.
What if the characters around us also have social lives and enjoy themselves? Inspired by Toy Story, we decided to give the pictures at Toni movement that stops, when a camera detects human movement in the hallways they inhabit.
