Demo reel update

Hey Victory,

I was wondering if you could take a look at my updated demo reel? Let me know if I should take anything out or rearrange any shots. I'll try to throw my layout up later tonight, too.

pantomime shot idea

Hi Victor and class, here is my rough drawing for pantomime shot. I'll re-draw it later. The idea is that she (a beginner driver) is trying to drive while affected by her boy friend sitting next her. He keeps correcting the way she drives. (only his hands will show in the shot) He will correct the way she grabs the handle and the distance between her and handle. I thought his existence can be considered as external circumstance for her but if it's not, please let me know. The reason why I came up with this idea is that I thought it's funny to see one person trying to do something while the other person trying to correct him/her. (her in this case) she has to go through internal struggle, frustration, and gets annoyed by the other person and I thought this can be a interesting idea for pantomime shot. and I thought inside of a car can be a good stage to show one's emotional change well because the space is small. Thank you for your help.

Pantomime ideas

Hey all, here are 3 ideas I had for the pantomime shot.

Shot 1 is the same shot that I had for the expression change but accidentally went overboard with what was actually needed for the assignment, and figured I could save it for now. I held onto some poses longer now since I get 7 seconds as opposed to the 3 seconds it originally had.

Shot 2 is at first the same as shot 1 but with a different second half and a little bit of a different take.

Shot 3 is another idea I had. I'm leaning the least towards this one because the majority of shots I've done lately have been more on the comedic side. Thats why I had two darker shots that I'm thinking of doing, but I'm throwing this in just to see if maybe this is more preferred. The guys poses are still really rough I just wanted to pitch the idea first. The gist of it is about a guy and a girl getting ready to go out and the guy has been ready and is waiting for his girlfriend to finish getting ready. She's taking forever and he's just been waiting at the door.

This is about my pantomime ideas for next assignment and a quick question.

Hello Victor and classmates,

This is Grace and I came up with three ideas for a pantomime shot.
Could you guys give me any ideas?

1) Anchor

I am worried about the time.

This might take more time as you expected for selling the idea. (I don't want to make the same mistake as I did before...)
If anyone have idea for making shorten, pleas leave some comments.

2) Cameraman

I feel this one includes a dirty gag a little bit..



3) A cold storage

I plan to add some dialogues at storyboard No. 4. (like "HELP!!!!!")
I found two dialogues and how do you think?
This is a link for the dialogues.

I have a quick question about the last assignment. (Face expression change)
How can I keep face alive without any drift feeling?

Thank you for all your help :)
