So while I was out gathering all kinds of reference to start planning out my dialogue shot, I ran across a series of videos on youtube that just had all kinds of cool reference in ‘em. They’re a web series called “Screentest” by NYTimes.com/TMagazine.
Some things I found interesting with the above video:
- Head gesture at around :44
- Head motion at 2:05 (when she turns back to camera, she blinks with only one eye)
- Check out the breath at around 2:44
- Insane how many head accents you notice with the volume off, but when its on it feels natural
I think these are great to study for head accents, blinks, eye darts, etc. pretty much anything to do with the head and face. Granted these people aren’t acting any specific character or emotion but it’s still a great way to study facial/head motion.
There’s a whole series of these so be sure to check ‘em out and keep on keepin’ on!
