Acting, eh?

I thought I'd post a few cool links here, instead of forgetting about them forever.

So yeah, acting in animation. Honestly, acting in animation never appealed to me that much. I just wanted to do some awesome physical animation, with weight. Jumping around, kicking heads, that sort of thing.

The relevance of mime in animation.



The idea of miming for some reason rubs me the wrong way. Honesty is a big thing with me and miming doesn't feel honest. It's a show. But being a good mime is really important to animation. Take out the props and all we're animating is miming. I feel like there's a mental obstacle in there that needs to ground down. Must, embrace, mime! XO


The other video's on Body language =D
I could actually really get into that, because it's real and honest. Not the best video in the world on it but it kind of opened my eyes to the fun stuff of acting.
