Another sweet clip from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Great reference for a more subtle double take that happens about half way through the shot.

Here's a nice clip from The Black Dahlia. There's a great arc reversal in the beginning when she laughs. I really love the seductive feel she has, but its not too over the top, very subtle which works.

Clip from Toy Story 3. Not really of a fan of the use of Dream Weaver, but the animation looks great.

From the makers of Planet Earth, LIFE on The Discovery Channel is amazing! Beautiful photography and great animal reference. I definitely recommend checking it out.

Here's a great clip from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia (love that show!) I love the emotion & gestures Charlie uses. He's just saying the same line over & over, but you still get so much from it. Great Stuff!

Real cute behind the scenes stories from Pixar

Those who know me know I'm a Shia Labeauf fan, when people give me crap for this I always tell them the same thing...watch him in A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints. Here's a particularly powerful scene from the movie. He does such a great job of conveying emotion. I love how, even though he is confronting his father, he still can't look him in the eye...really powerful scene

Prime Anim

Little anim I've been working on

Acting Reference #25

Here's a great clip from The Hudsucker Proxy. I love the contrast between the two characters & how over the top the secretary is (Coen brother movies usually have over the top characters and they're great reference) Enjoy!

How To Train Your Dragon

Great movie! I definitely recommend checking it out. The flying scenes in 3D were amazing! Days after seeing it, I'm still smiling...great job DreamWorks!
