Fall 09 Showreel

Acting Reference #15

This is a great clip from Alpha Dog. There is some awesome contrast going on between these two characters. I also love the head & shoulder movement from Ben Foster (great underrated actor) at the end of the clip. Sweet stuff. !Warning! Profanity

This is a great clip from Javier Bardem in No Country For Old Men. I love the brow raise at the end which he uses to emphasize the point he is trying to make. Sweet stuff

I really like this clip from Superman Returns. There's some nice brow stuff and I like how you feel he's in a rush and has multiple things going on at once. The "thinking" is very believable.

Star Trek Wars

Made this for one of our company art challenges

Kyle Reese

In honor of the new Terminator movie, the second coolest "Kyle" of all time.

Here's my entry in this months 11 sec club competition.

Acting Reference #12

This clip from The Frighteners has some really nice finger movements. Fingers are a great place to add detail and polish to a shot.

11 Second Club WIP

I've deecided to enter this months 11 second club contest. Here's a wip, hopefully I'll have time to finish it.

Movie Stills #2

Anger

Movie Stills #1

I've been downloading a lot of still images from movies, it's great reference for character composition, poses, and conveying emotion in a single image.

Confusion

Acting Reference #11

Leo gave an excellent performance in The Aviator and I really like this shot for the head accent at the end. There's also some really nice shoulder movement going on as well. You don't always have to use your hands to make gestures, sometimes using only the head can be more interesting.

Acting Reference #10

I uploaded this video because Daniel Day-Lewis is the man :) There's so much emotion and anger is this short little clip, really amazing

Zoologic
