Thumbnail Revisions

Thumbnailing is never done! I spent some time this week figuring out some momentum and motion in some of the scenes.

Depression and Letting Go

The poses this week were to study the emotion of depression, but then also letting go. I thought that depression would be giving up and sitting down, getting as low as possible. Letting go to me meant actually releasing physically, or opening the hands, almost setting free. I also have 3 poses here for the bargaining stage of depression, which to me, meant that he would try to rebuild the snowman.

Pose Studies

These poses explore emotion poses for the opening and ending scenes. In the opening scene he is happy building a snowman, then in the ending scene he interacts with the snowman during his 'bargaining' phase of grief. I'm exploring using the 5 stages of grief to motivate his poses in the ending scene, so far I've got drawings for depression, denial, anger, and bargaining. The next set of acting studies that I'll make will be the 'acceptance' stage of grief, since that is almost another act in this scene I'll focus on those throughout the next week.
