 Welcome back. It is Thursday. That means acting now is his final meters and today I'm going to take a look at the trailer for the movie marriage story That's right. It's the trailer. It's not the full movie It's gonna come out on Netflix But I thought the trailer was great and had a lot of little bits and pieces in there that I wanted to highlight So it's a lot of one-shot things except the very end Which is more of an audio lip sync type of thing But let's get straight to all the shots and this one is just one shot which you saw before This is something that happens here in the hallway. Again, this is the trailer So it's a lots of separate shots, but what I liked about this is that he is looking at This and tells her to turn it and I love that actually even though he has a hand And he could do something he doesn't want to do too much because he's probably on the phone He doesn't want to say too much. We're not sure yet But I like the idea of not using words since maybe some hold again. He's talking. He's not using his hand here He's using his whole body to indicate that he wants this to turn Next up is this moment here where she has an argument with him again This is very short, but what I wanted to point out here This is just as a comparison between life action and animation This is technically nice in terms of animation because it's a very clear silhouette It's a nice simplified pose with the triangle a lot of times animation He got that triangle pose here in the hands the neck is out clear shapes It's a really nice pose technically and then it goes into something like this where at the same time We would point this out animation going. It's twinning. You don't want to do this You don't want to gesture too much with your arms potentially depending on the context of course and acting choice But just a lot of twinning a lot of double arm motion. So it's funny how in live action That's no problem, but in animation it might be something that you want to avoid But I do want to highlight how that especially if I go lower here on this frame How great this is in terms of a silhouette? Next up is this shot here close up and further away and again This is short, but what I love about this is that with all the happy shots and whatever in the trailer as it progresses It gets a bit more serious. I love this that you can I mean you know an animation This might be too still to have you know, just one pose or nothing else But I love the idea that it's he's looking down It seems to be very somber you want to something sad happens and then it changes focus and realize Okay, this is the courtroom and they're not on the same table. So now there's something that's you know against those two characters They're fighting and something's going on. What I love is this too is that she looks away. This is why I have that here I love that little moment there when she goes They're in the same room you can see here and At this point something must have happened, but I love that even though they're apart She just can't even look over to him or just being next to him There's something that a noisier. I just love that a little moment there again Not that you want to do this potential animation I would just be a shot here and this I'll be great in the movie not sure if that's something that's on the real But I saw in terms of just a subtle head move I'm always a big fan of hit accents and hit moves I thought that was really cool in terms of where they are the situation and what she does in that moment Next up is this little moment again kind of cut short But what I love about this is that this could be technically your pantomime shot Where you have a mother or could be a father whoever whoever is taking care of the kids You have a little bit of you know chest up kid could walk away. It's kind of bit of a you know walk-run cycle Walk run something you don't really have to show much in terms of body mechanics But it tells us the story that the character is going away You might even have background characters if you want to but I like this idea that the focus is technically on this character And here you can show in your animation ways how it's a proud parents Or it's a concerned parent because the kid is off to school for the first day or it may be something I know whatever you can show but I thought that was a cool setup of Parents or partner or whoever is taking care of the kid just to have that moment of okay kid is going away What is now the emotion of this character? I was gonna cool moment and then just quick this shot here Just wanted to point out again something that in animation you probably not have that We would not preferably have a hand cover the actors face or your characters face here and the eye You know, it's it's technically a nice clean hand pose We will probably tell students or people in dailies I mean move that arm and free up that face But again life action is always a bit different and probably actually now that it swaps into this other shot again the twinning of gestures But I just want something that I wanted to point out the main thing I wanted to show this actually after this It's this moment here. I'm gonna play this. There's I'm gonna turn everything off except the sound of that moment here I thought we should talk Okay, I don't know how to start Yeah, so good. And if you watch my clips, you probably know why I love this It's just the silence in the middle and her head accent her gesture here through the head is so great So this is moment of we should probably talk and you know, she fidgets around with this little inquisitive head tilt and he's okay. All right. Let's talk And you know, you got eye contact and there's no, you know, looking away. He's interested in engaging And I love this that when you have your lip sync that now the pause you can do whatever you want to with that pause I love this is that moment of okay now. Let's go and it's so great It's that little moment with the head and then watch here Watch your eyebrow as I'm framing through. Look at that. It's tiny. It's so good. It's just that extra little It's almost like this is your pose Subpose it's almost like a little exclamation point of that main pose there It's such an awesome little moment and then all of this in silence This is something that you can do, you know, you could have a completely different reaction I just like that. He has a little smirk and a laugh He doesn't know what to say what she said. I don't know what to say And after that you could end your shot with this that just showing obviously the distance visually They haven't probably grown apart and the difference in posing. It's just an interesting example to me that when you have Lip sync where potentially maybe that pause isn't that long And you artificially extend that pause to add those moments here in your shot As I always say to kind of take control of lip sync So it's not just you have to animate what they're saying here You have a bit more freedom before and after and potentially in between That's it short and sweet and actually this was really cool because the trailer is actually two trailers I will link them in the description. You have one from adam driver's perspective and one from scholar Johansson's perspective I'm intrigued I want to see this What I thought was really cool is that even in that short trailer Of course in trail there's almost more material because it's lots of short little scenes compacted into a trailer Like it's a long movie But I thought it was cool that even within those two trailers There's so many moments at least to me that I thought were interesting That you could extrapolate and kind of interpret or change or tweak to potentially use in your animation shots Now if you agree and you thought that was interesting I do have workshops So you know that I always mention is at the end if you think that this is cool Interesting and you want to apply this to your shots You want me to help you you can sign up for my workshop link in the description with all the goodies and all the info But that's it. Thank you for watching as always and if you watch this whole thing till the very end Do you know that I'm very grateful for your patience and I will see you in one of my next clips
