Fred looses his Toupee!

Hi Guys!
After the character walk, my next assignment was to take that same character and make him/her see something react to it and change emotion.

My teacher has been really emphasizing the importance of thinking of the emotion of a character rather than just motion, in other words - ACTING! Through doing this exercise, I found it difficult to show all that goes into a showing a character thinking. In animation you get to play around with timing and it's tough to understand how long it takes for someone to realize something. There's so many little nuances in movement to consider, it's enough to make one's brain explode into tiny little bits. But needless to say - I had a lot of fun with this test and love this character. Maybe I'll do something with his character again in the future. Hope you all enjoy!
