Will I ever be a real child?

More sketchs on the pantomime.

First part of basic blocking - Pantomime Shot

This is the first half of the shot, just golden poses and some breakdowns.

Sketch Test

First attempt in drawing directly on my Wacom using Autodesk Sketchbook Express.

Pantomime shot workflow - PART 1

I'm working now on a new pantomime shot and I wanted to share my workflow in here.

I first started with a simple idea: someone making a cake, putting it in the oven and, while distracted by the phone, he forgets about it until it's too late and it's burnt.
I thought about each beat:

1.
Finishing the cake putting the final touch on top (in this case the cherry).

2.
Observing happily the result.

3.
Putting carefully the cake into the oven, setting the timing.

4.
Waiting for the cake

5.
The phone rings, he answers.

6.
He gets distracted talking to the phone.

7.
He smells the smoke coming out from the oven (he understands the cake is going to burn soon).

8.
He opens the oven, the smoke comes out of it.

9.
He touches the cake, making it fall into the ground.
