Acting Reference #1

Subtlety
I uploaded this video to show a great use of subtlety. Often in animation people push emotions and gestures too far when sometimes a more subtle route can be more appealing. This scene from Dances with Wolves is a great example of a subtle reaction, When the Indian tastes the sugar his reaction is very small and subtle, just a slight smile, but it fits his character perfectly.
