And We're Back!

After a short hiatus once AP2 was handed in, an over Animex, we're back in full working order. Straight in with the Acting for Animation module, and the group Mime assignment. I'm working with the great Scott Ramsay and Kristian Egge. When not communicating face to face, we have our own Facebook group, set up by Scott to dumb ideas and generally keep each other informed of each others progress away from class. The assignment requires us to create a roughly 2 minute piece with three Mime characters, all auditioning to a director of sorts.














We kicked things off with a group brainstorming session. We decided to have a sort of audition for a film/show situation for our mimes, but needed to decide on a film genre. We eventually ended up with a SuperHero or Western idea. As of this moment, we are still unsure as which to go with, but hopefully tomorrow's feedback session will finalise the decision. Anyway, next we came up with three character types for each scenario Western Cocky Clumsy Scared Superhero Cocky Theatrical Nervous Using the tried and trusted method of picking names out of hat, we each were given a character from each scenario to go away and develop. I picked Clumsy for the Western scene, and Theatrical for the SuperHero scene. More to follow.
