Class 3 Again: Introduction to Acting / Jalil Sadool

Back in business, I just had my first live q&a for this term, retaking intro to acting again.

This time my mentor is Jalil Sadool, currently an Animator at Weta Digital cranking through James Cameron's "Avatar" and A. Adamson’s “Prince Caspian”. Before that he worked at Rhythm and Hues as an animator on “The Lion, the witch and the Wardrobe”, “Garfield 2”, “Charlotte’s Web”, and “A Night at the Museum”.left for Weta in 2006 and was part of the team on “The Water Horse: Legend of the deep”.

Thinking about my pantomime shot, not sure what to do yet, I was thinking of doing the tennis serve, a change of gears from confidence/insecurity , starts with confident tennis player, but somehow at the end he loses grip of the racket and it bounces back at him, something humiliating.

Still searching & thinking of more ideas, now thinking of a Samurai sword master who wants to cut an apple on the head of his assistant, after he successfully do that he wave with sword in celebration and accidentally cuts off part of his assistant... I think this one could be nice
but still brainstorming & looking for reference, any ideas are most welcome.

here's my latest Reel update, no tweaks on the animation itself, just made it more presentable, fixed the shot titles, its order, got rid of some shots & added some music using garageband.
