Acting is reacting! Here's what that means when I storyboard:

1. New information comes in,

2. Brain understands the information,

3. THEN the emotions hit.

Because your brain takes time to process what a thing is! it's the emotional equivalent of a double take--you see a thing, but don't understand the significance it has until your brain processed what it was seeing. messages have to get passed from your brain's input and output stations, and those get reflected in a changing facial expression!

Absorb, Understand, then React. And the pacing of each step, and how BIG the emotional change is will be the secret sauce to unique character performance!

Here's some examples from my TMA 159 storyboards!

i think as adults it's our responsibility to be nice to kids and treat them with the respect we wish we got at that age and im not kidding or exaggerating in the least

do interact if: you have a hyphenated last name, you're an older sibling, you have a cat, art was your favorite subject, you have kissed your friends, you really like at least one field of science, watch nature documentaries, you drank from the hose, you've been involved with the production of a musical but you never listened to hamilton, have at least one stick-n-poke, drink coffee every day, you have a favorite houseplant, prefer little and big spoon equally, have a dietary restriction, have dyed your hair green, or have been somewhere that you don't speak the language

Strangers in Lively Town

Took me half a year to complete 🤪

No but it's ridiculous that this doesn't have more notes, and I think it's cause people aren't zooming in, SO LOOK!! Look how painstakingly detailed and gorgeous this piece is!!
