Term 4 Week 12: Review of Introduction To Acting

The progress reel!!! :-

Animation Mentor - Term 4 Progress Reel from Paul Novorol on Vimeo.

This term has been so good. I'm really glad I had David Tart as a mentor. He's been very good at pushing us to create believable characters and put emphasis on timing and planning. It's been a learning curve with the acting side of things, trying to get into character and feel what the character is feeling. I still need to practice this more and more because I can't tell whether I am really feeling it.

I think some parts of my dialogue shot are working well like the eye movements and some of the hand work. A couple of the accents where he says "fetched" and "sold him" I think work well.

I think the part where he says dog isn't working so well. This could be to do with the pose and the timing going into/out of that pose. There is also a feeling, to me, that the body lacks successive breaking of joints to loosen up the rigidity. So there are parts where more lead and follow could be added.

I'm fairly pleased with the results overall and David gave me a brilliant grade! Cheers Dave :)
