Class 4 Week 6 - Intro to Dialogue

This week we will be picking 3 dialogues/monologues of our choice and will need to act it out for the animation reference. This is going to be a 5 week project but we are limited to work on JUST the motion, no facial expression or lip synching till next class. We'll be given a new character named "Bishop" with no facial control except for opening the mouth, it's like Bishop with botox done.

Here's my 3 dialogue choices, I really like #1 a lot, my second choice is #3

Class 4 Week 1 - Intro to Pantomime Planning

Wow, can't believe I just completed half way through the program, it still feels like it just happened yesterday :) although it's a lot of work, but I'm enjoying every moment of it. The first assignment we will be doing for this class is Pantomime, we'll have to show series of action with two clear emotion/beats and without use of dialogue. Christmas and new years break really help refreshing my mind a lot, I came up with two ideas right away



After receiving the e-critique from my mentor Steve Cunningham(he's totally awesome by the way), I decided to go for story two since we are only allowed single character with no moving camera. So it leaves me #2, although I could try to work #1 story shot out, but I love how I stage my shot and will try to do it in my own time since I always want to do children animation. So time to get busy again!!!! My mentor also suggested us to do exercise by posing the character daily in addition to our assignment, just 10 minutes a day, can be a pose or two. He said no one has commit to this routine in past 2.5 years(not sure if he's joking), but I'm going to try to do it!!! Been doing poses since 1/7, and I'm still on it :)
