Pantomime Ideas

Hi Victor,

I've come up with rough ideas for my pantomime shot.
Could you take a look, please? I'm not sure if some of my ideas are too complicated.
Could you please describe what really is endowment?



1. A Chef is hosting a cooking program live on TV. He tastes his soup and it is very hot and disgusting but he pretends that it is delicious.

2.  A lady in a bar is running to the restroom as she desperately needs to pee but she tears off her skirt because she runs too fast. She has to walk slowly to the restroom without drawing attention.

3. (lost object) A violinist is about to enter the stage to perform her song but she lost her violin bow. She has to quickly search it behind the stage. 

4. A football player injures his knee. He walks in the locker room as if he is not hurt and when he put alcohol to wash his wound. He has to try harder to not show that he is weak.

5. An old guy walks to balcony trying to retrieve his precious vase of flowers while the wind is blowing very hard outside.

6. (character contrast) A lady and a guy are drinking a shot of vodka together. When a guy counts to three, they would drink at the same time. The guy drink, the lady sneaky pour her shot away and pretend to have drunk the shot.


Thank you,
Pun

Shot Advice

Hi Victor,

I'm jumping on the bandwagon :) I'm having a bit of trouble narrowing down ideas if i'm honest. I've got a couple of 2 person dialogue ideas that i have clips for, but they are a bit long, more like 8-9 seconds rather then the 5-7 requested, but i was thinking of trying to add some of the physical condition into the acting. Listed the 2 clips below.

Audio 2


Alternatively I also had an idea for a pantomime acting shot, that was a little personal routine, a simple action, with a little endowment.

My initial plan was to bring in a super basic layout for each of the dialogue scenes, and maybe some reference for the pantomime shot on Wednesday. But if you have a recommendation based on what I have, or if you think I should do something totally different I'd love some feedback.

Here is my reel as is, still has the wrestling on it atm I'm afraid. Demo Reel


Thanks in advance!

Advice on reel


Hi Victor,

Here's my reel:

Could you please advise me on what kind of shot to add to my reel?

Thank you,
Rhea

Requesting advice

Hi Victor,

I would love some advice. Here is a demo reel that you haven't seen which shows all my body mechanics work from Animation Mentor and another dialogue shot that I'm none too pleased with:

And here is my Anim Collab work reel:

So, do you have any recommendations for what I should work on that would beef up my reel?
I'm really enjoying doing these smaller exercises, I learn a ton from them but without investing a huge amount of time. But I feel like I don't have any strong dialogue shots on my reel at this point, so maybe I should be focusing on that. What do you think?

Thanks,

Ken

Expression change - Preet


Hey Victor and everyone, hope everyone had a great weekend.

If anyone has a chance to take a look I would love some feedback on my expression change assignment. I know everyone is busy so if you don't have time no big deal.

Here is my progress so far.

Thanks in advance!
