5 Best Acting Tips and Tricks for Animators

In animation, clarity of communication and expression is a must to tell a story and keep the audience engaged effectively. For the audience to connect to the movie on an emotional level, the characters must be lively. They must seem to think and move on their own and be visually and audibly clear. All this poses a challenge for the animator as he/she plans to execute a shot. Here in this post, We bring you 5 Best Acting Tips and Tricks for Animators.

1. Simplify

Once in a while, we find animators who are trying to push in more information than is needed. For example, There is no need for the character always to move. Sometimes the moments of stillness in just a position to the movement can bring out the beauty of a shot.

2. Acting within the Pose

The character’s level of engagement and emotional state should be the only criteria for a pose change. It is not necessary to list a pose change because there is a new emphasis on dialogue. Remember, it is the thought that determines action, not the dialogue itself.

3. Emotional Hang Time

Think about a character who is feeling one emotion, but it starts feeling something different because something occurs in the shot, it needs to process the thought before the change of emotion can happen. This lag time is known as the emotional hang time and is crucial in a shot

4. Movement Style

The way as character moves will tell the audience a lot about its personality. To conjure up character’s natural pose it is always a good idea to take inspiration from real-world characters, and then exaggerate the selected traits. This technique has been used by every animator, from Walt Disney to Tex Avery.

5. Dynamic Facial Posing

All best animators know that line of action is essential to the creation of the dynamic body poses. The emphasis of the line of action, along with shoulder line and hip line, make the pose look more real, rather than static. It is a good idea to take some life drawing classes to the learn dynamic facial posing.

Learning acting for the animation is a crucial step towards building a career as an animator. Being trained and guided by experts can make all the difference between an amateur and a professional. Make sure that you enroll with an institute with a good reputation and trained faculty so that your dream of becoming an animator can become a reality.
