WIP PANTOMIME SHOT

Hello everyone,

Here is my pantomime shot.
This is still rough and not very smooth, but I would like to make sure about the beats and timings.
I added the shaking her chest part because I felt that part was too static and stiff if she just squeezed and hold her chest for a while.

Technical question - Clusters

Hi all, quick technical question.  I've created a series of clusters in maya to get some additional control in the face, problem is that the clusters are not moving with the rig.  They are staying in the exact position that they were created in which makes them impossible to use.  I selected my vertices using the paint selection tool, went up to 'create deformers > cluster (with relative checked)'.  This has worked in the past but for some reason it's behaving oddly this time.  Any help would be appreciated, hope everyone shots are going well...

Question On Demoreel

Hello Everyone,

I recently had to put together a demoreel. I cut up a mock version that looked like this. Do you feel like i should add some physical/ pantomime shots to it? I had it cut like this because i feel these were the shots with the most character.

Hi Victor, old shots here

Hi Victor, how are you?  The first one is the Madeline Kahn shot, 2nd is the one with a bit of a staging problem.  On the second I'd be open to repositioning the table, secondary character but the camera and main character would be a little harder to make big changes too.  Thank you so much, see you Wednesday...

Do you think dialog

Hey Victor,

I just wanted to show this before I start splining it out. If I need to add anything or fix before hand? I was mainly wondering about if his thinking before the "OOHH" reads?

Pantomime Shot Blocking Pass

Hello Victor and Class,

This is my pantomime shot blocking.
Before going into IP, I would like to show you guys and hear your opinions about this shot.
I fixed some poses and timings as your notes in the last class.
Please give me any feedback and thoughts.

Additionally I have an idea about the last pose.
If she stretches out her little finger as the image, is it too distracted?

Thank you for taking your time :)

Hello Class again,

Please ignore the colors on the Lady. This is the best framing i could possibly get and still have her arm functional,

What do you think?

50 shades blocking2

Hello Victor, hello class,

Here's my 2nd pass blocking.   syncsketch clip

So following your feedbacks last Wednesday I went for something where she feels more like she's toying with him and then sadistic. The subtext I animated with, on the 2nd part of the dialogue, was like you said " Now you're gonna get it, I can believe you said that"

Do things read ? Am I going in the right direction ?

I also made him more focused on her and react to the whip.

I am not sure how I should end the shot though... should I cut on the guy's reaction or should I have him trying to get away (like what I have now)

Thanks a lot for your feedbacks.

DENTIST SHOT BLOCKING PASS 2

Hello Everyone,

Dentist Blocking SynchSketch Link

I have lowered the head for the patient. I have separated the phrasing for the lamp push from the head movement. I have also added a little more of the characters chest from screen left. I attempted to frame the character like in this drawing:

but with the perspective of the shot it proved impossible.  I an open to any an all ideas to solve that. I would like to know if the timing works before i go in and add on top of it.

Kindly let me know what you think.

Alvin . :)

Prank shot

Hello Everyone,


So I got these ideas while working on the new shot. here's the audio clip


I wanted to play the idea that you're not sure what's going on at first other than she looks scary as hell.

"Are we taking this too far ?" the entrance bell just rang she reaches for the entrance door
The guys in the background seems uncertain.

"i don't think we're taking this far enough ! "
So she switches the light off, now flickering

A kid is there asking "trick or treats?" (no dialogue, just the kid reaction)









That would mean adding in the future another 2 sec shot of the kids reaction.

This 2nd idea isn't about a prank anymore, but more about the contrast of this 2 characters. I like the idea of having the guy in a ridiculous situation he's not comfortable with.

Do you like one of these ideas or should I stick with the prank idea we talked about last week ?

Thanks for your feedbacks

Charles

Pantomime shot

Hey Victor and class,

Here are a few options I roughed out for possible beginnings for my shot, to better give the reason behind the knife being in the scene. The new beginning poses are still rough, it's mainly just to get the idea across to see what might be the best option.

This first option has the knife as a paring knife, so thats why she has the apple in the beginning too. Also why I'm leaning towards this one is that I like the idea of having her eating lunch by herself in a bathroom stall to push that notion of who she is and her backstory.

https://www.dropbox.com/sc/wll0d5tpitky49l/AAAab1xJpO1d9N5AiSS5loCga

The second idea is still pretty rough but the idea is that she would be scratching out some writing that was wrote about her on the bathroom stall wall.

https://www.dropbox.com/sc/bg4yi2jcpv3y9l8/AAAtKjIILFWfrSM8AAENHpXaa

The last option I roughed out is that she would be toying with the knife and stabbing the toilet seat out of frustration.
