Charles helps a lot about how to express this girl’s fear and panic when she walking on the street. I think a good animator must be a good actor. We really need to feel how the character feels and express it for the characters
We mainly discuss this part. Charles is super good at express character’s mood with body language and I was inspired a lot. When I follow his lead I really understand the feeling that the character has and really involved in it. When we discussing the part about the character was swallowed by the shadow, Charles first told me to stand up and down several times and I was a bit confused. And then I realized this is the preparation for the part when the character crouches her body. I crouch my body too and calm down. Different from the feeling that I do the stand-up and down, my body was warm at that time but now I really feel helpless and my body is not warm at all when I brought the characters’ feeling to my mind.
So I made some keyframes in the following days to not let the feelings go away.
