MAXI DIAZ Animation blog
One of the most important things to be solved in an animation is physical movement. If the body movement of the character is not credible, the acting scene will not work. Normally, first thing we usually analyzed are the physical characteristics of the character as age or physique, but we forget the most important: his inner world. Everything that happens internally in the character much influence on the physics of movement that the characteristics of your body. But let's look at some examples to better understand.
The video you see below belongs to the film Two Lovers. Joaquin Phoenix plays a young man who is trying to redirect his life. Emotionally life wobbles and wanders aimlessly. If you look at his walk erratic and wobbly, reflects exactly how you feel emotionally. The physics of movement helps the acting scene and walk away from the standard that could be derived from its purely physical condition.
At Best… impossible, Jack Nicholson plays a maniacal character, antisocial and extremely superstitious. Clearly, all these features are influencing the way they move over your physique or age. It's the details that build character and make it special.
We have two fantastic characters in High Fidelity: Dick and Barry, two musical freakes with completely contrasting inner worlds. Barry is a completely crazy character, untied, Barrier, while Dick is a shy and introverted character. The way they move is not what at first glance could only imagine starting your fitness.
To finish, We could not forget Mr. Bean and his childish mentality. His peculiar way of moving has more to with a child 4 years to adult. It is a clear example that as the inner world of a character determines one hundred percent physical in motion.
