this dialog performance stuff is very challenging.

 

Basic body movement notes I'd make...

 

-never move the hips in straight line from one pose to another. Always dip them in the middle a little bit. 99.99% of the time this will look better and i haven't found the .01% where it doesn't yet. it's like a pendulum swinging fast through the bottom and slow at the ends.

 

It's more complicated than that, but that's a starting tactic that always works better than a straight line.

 

notes on hip movement

- hips typically are not level while we stand. We typically support our weight over one leg and let the other side sag.

 

Classic example:

- the shoulders never move alone while the hips remain motionless. A good mime could do it but real normal people don't do that. Typically the shoulders will move to counter the hip movement (think a hula dancer).

 

-In general we tend to slouch from one posture to another and stay in each one for a while rather than soothly morph between them with no pauses.
