The Godfather Opening (Practice) Portlynn

Hey Dave!

Just thought i'de post some more studies.I made a list of films i wanted to watch this week and study from. Yesterday was "The Godfather" and today is "Raging Bull".

The rest of the week i plan on watching...

Lawrence of Arabia

Rear Window

Sunset BLVD.

Psycho

Dr. Strangelove

I plan on choosing scenes that i like from each film and doing them as boarding practice. Yeah i know, just the typical stuff to do for practice, but i just thought i would give you a heads up.

But. Here's the opening scene form Godfather. I know the last practice i did was an opening, but i really, really love the entire first 25 minutes of this movie, i thinks it's so perfect i wanted to re board the whole thing but i only had a time yesterday to do this one. if i have time i'll go back and board some more from the rest of the film, i found a couple of really great scenes that i wanted to do.

Story Cardio_002, Portlynn Tagavi (Gave it another go)

Hey Dave!!! I did the assignment again, this time a stayed within the time limits and i stuck to the guidelines. Last time i forgot about the character wanting something from the other, but not this time!!! i made sure.

So here it is. I choose Dracula and Dog at the Park. The Dog wants Dracula's Blood Sausage. I did it in 3 hours and i tried to make it clearer than the last one. I hope it succeeded!!!

Thanks for looking!!!

Story Cardio_001, Portlynn Tagavi

Hey Guys!!! I did one for the Story Cardio. I will not lie, i did this in 4 hours not 3, it proved to be a real challenge. I plan on doing one or two more (different stories) soon that are in the actual time limit, but i felt that this was worth putting up anyway. I had a lot of fun with this, and i'm excited to work on some more stories for the other combinations!

This is a Romance kind of...

I chose Circus Performer, and Rodeo Cowboy at an Amusement Park (made most sense...).

I hope it's clear. I had a lot of fun trying to create suspense with the shot cutting, but i'm wondering if that worked or if there is another way i could have created suspense.

I also feel that my shot variation was weak, and that my attention to where the characters where on screen made for some confusing moments, tell me if you agree, or if it reads fine to you?

Ok... DO YOU WORST...

American Beauty opening (study) Portlynn

Hey Dave! I'm going to try to do a study at lease 3 times a week or more.

Here's the opening to American Beauty. Don't know what i was trying to learn here, but i really like this opening. It totally introduces this family perfectly, so i thought it would be fun!!! and it was.

Went out and bought a nice pen to board and gesture with, and MAN DOES IT HELP!!!! i love drawing this way, it's so freeing and it's helped me with drawing in pencil too! so THANKS!

tell me if it's still stiff or if i still need to work on gesture the boards.

Had a little bit of a problem with facial expressions with this one cause the acting was so subtle i didn't know how to translate it too well. Guess i should just exaggerate?

Question..

1. How do you approach thumbnailing when the characters are so small on the screen, and the backgrounds are so detailed( do you continue to repeatedly draw the background in ever board?). how do you show facial expressions on a character that is basically a stick figure?

Do you just make the body do all the talking?

THANKS DAVE!!!
