Lamp
Piece done for Advanced Acting. It was challenging to nail down the beats for the acting I wanted to convey, but I was happy in the end with the timing and what the posing demonstrated.
I'm Not Okay
Final piece done for Advanced Acting with Animation Mentor. It was challenging since it involved two characters and specific SFX cues. Even though it required a lot of work and polish, I really loved getting to do a piece with emotion.
Meal
Final piece done for Intro to Acting for Animation Mentor. I had a ton of fun getting into the acting with this one and really layering on his emotions. It was definitely a good learning experience for secondary action.
Rock Sequence
Both pieces for Advanced Body Mechanics for Animation Mentor. I decided to make the pieces connected. Even though originally I had planned to make this more of a chase/escape sequence, I really like how it came out and it challenged me to get into believable weight and overlap.
Eating Pantomime
First piece done for Advanced Body Mechanics. I'd never done an actual pantomime piece before this so it was extremely fun to learn to push body language and how to convey emotions without needing words or sound effects!
Safe Push
Final piece done for Body Mechanics. This one gave me a lot of trouble but it was one of the pieces that pushed me the most when it came to learning how to convey weight and struggle. I enjoyed figuring out different motions for the same sort of action as well to add variety in the piece.
