Art Jumble - X-MEN

Entry for this weeks Art Jumble

Coraline + 3D = Awesome!

Really great movie, if you have the chance to see it in 3D I would definitely recommend it.

Hilarious Kid

Hilarious video of a kid after leaving the dentist, great stuff!

Lets Go Steelers!

Quick drawing in honor of the Steelers!!!!

Acting Reference #8

I really like this moment from The Aviator because of the little hand gesture that Leo makes. Instead of hitting the gesture on a word, he does it before the line and it really adds some nice texture to the shot

Woody Anim

Here's a little test I started working on back when we were doing Toy Story Mania! Still some stuff I could fix, but I'm at the point where I'm ready to move on to something new

Painting

I would like to get more into digital painting and here is a quick attempt I did today

Acting Reference #7

This is a great shot from The Weather Man, Nic Cage's sarcasim at the end of the shot with the eye darts and head turns is really great stuff.

Double Take

Great reference of a double take from Brazil

Acting Reference #5

Make your blinks count

I uploaded this video to show a great example of using a blink. Often people just throw in blinks as filler, but you should really think about how the dialog is being delivered and place them accordingly. In the second shot Colin Farrel doesn't blink at all until the end of his dialog where he has a single blink, this really helps sell the confusion he is feeling. Keep in mind that blinks can add lots to a shot and placing them in the right spot is important.

Dodo Short

Great little short I found from the Academy of Art University

Art Jumble - Street Fighter

Acting Reference #4

Speaking Without Speaking

This is a great scene I captured from Before the Devil Knows Your Dead. You really feel how uncomfortable Ethan Hawke is and how he's trying to get a word in, but can't. Often we overlook characters who aren't talking in a scene, but this is a great example of excellent acting without having any dialog.
