Acting Reference

I try and capture scenes from movies that I find interesting to use for animation reference. I'll try and upload different ones every so often for you guys to check out.

Speaking Without Speaking

This is a great scene I captured from Before the Devil Knows Your Dead. You really feel how uncomfortable Ethan Hawke is and how he's trying to get a word in, but can't. Often we overlook characters who aren't talking in a scene, but this is a great example of excellent acting without having any dialog.
