Freed from the burden of carrying their upper halves, legs unleash their inner footloose in this feel-good promo for Detroit’s indie duo JR JR (formerly Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.) from Little Minx directors Los Pérez (aka Adrian Perez and Tania Verduzco) with the bodily bisection VFX handled by Madrid post house Exit.

Los Pérez: “We wanted to show how the body could become loose and release tension by dancing. The legs of our characters detach from their bodies to escape their boring routines and in the process they become free – they walk, they run, they twist and they dance.”
