Dialogue Shot

For this second and final assignment of Class 4, we had seven weeks to finish a scene that included acting elements as well as spoken dialogue.  We had the liberty to choose from any form of media, tv, movie, radio, etc. as long as it wasn't already from something animated or too iconic.  It was also important to keep in mind the acting beats of the character (contrasting tones of voice and emotions) as well as simplifying the poses so the shot didn't get too busy.  This semester was a lot of fun and I look forward to Class 5 beginning January 2, 2013!!

For the first assignment of Class 4: Introduction to Acting, we continued working with "Stewie", but this time, introduced some acting elements into the shot.  For this Pantomime assignment (pantomime- meaning acting without dialogue, like a mime!) we had to include two different acting "beats" or emotion.  With pantomime, a lot of it has to do with body language and movement.  For this shot, I chose to begin Stewie with and excitement beat and end on sad/disappointed.
