Ken -- work in progress updates on SynchSketch

Hi Everyone,

I've uploaded a new IP to synchsketch Week 7.

Notes:
1.) Shifted the camera so that the driver's face is fully in frame.
2.) Changed it up so that the passenger is talking to someone on the phone, rather than to the driver, and I think you're right Victor, having him passively aggressively complaining about the car seems to be working better.
3.) The passenger now runs his finger over the seat and then casts a look of disgust at the driver. After he reacts to the dirt on his finger he shifts his body away from the driver.
4.) The driver is just dummy geometry, no animation, which is why he looks like a wight. please disregard. (http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Wights)
5.) I've been working on getting the timing a little snappier, and varying up the gestures a bit.

Would love some feedback!

Thanks,

Ken

  1. Hi Ken, I like the new (old) direction. Currently you've added some time at the head for him to do the wiping action; rather than this happening over silence, have him perform this action OVER the line "I'm used to luxury cars". This will trim time from the shot and give him something to do besides gesture. I'm not crazy about him facing screen left for most of the shot. It makes it harder for us to check in with the driver, and all his gestures end up inside his silhouette. Try playing more of it facing forward - as if he doesn't even see the driver. On a general note, try to time his facial expression changes so they occur before the body changes. Remember: show thought BEFORE action!
