Great reaction shot of Sam Neill in Hunt For The Wilderpeople. Lots of nice eye darts & expression changes. This was one of my favorite movies of the year, definitely recommend checking it out.

Jake Gyllenhaal gave an outstanding performance in Nightcrawler, if you haven't seen it check it out! I love how in this particular scene he is constantly moving closer & closer to camera. This creates a great sense of unease and tension. Think about where your characters are when you animate and how you can use their position to further to further tell the story.

If you haven't done it already, check out Stranger Things on Netflix. It has some of the best kid performances I've seen in years. I especially love the work of Millie Bobby Brown who plays Eleven. She does such an amazing job of emoting so much in a very subtle believable way. The moment she opens the music box is a perfect example of this. The shoulder movement, breathing in, her brow expressions. It's all so expressive and readable, yet subtle and not over the top.

Great performance and emotion from Ruby Dee in American Gangster. I especially love the intensity in her last line of dialogue "I will leave you". Take note of the finger point she uses during this line - instead of it being in sync/in line with the dialogue, it comes at the end of her delivery, almost as if its an exclamation point....great stuff.

Here's a great example of using composition and character positioning to further tell a story. From Back To the Future.

Another great example of working within a pose from Fargo. When the guy talking mentions "Mrs Mora" he gestures behind him with his thumb out. Watch how long he stays within this pose. If one was animating this line, it would have been very tempting to have him make more gestures after this. When creating your keys, try a pass with as few as possible and see if you can make it work.
