The practise --Two person dialogue

This is the work practise with two person dialogue. I got an audio from my tutor Penny, which is a short dialogue with 2 person. The time is about 8 second. For this dialogue practice, I need to present a coordinated body movements and the clear of facial expressions associated with the dialogue. So, before doing animation, I am going to the green screen studio to record some actions as my reference. My audio is a piece of humorous dialogue, so I try to think how to exhibit a sense of humor on action. According to the content of the dialogue, I envisioned a interview as the background, that a reporter's interview with the star.

 

The reference video

 

Step1. Blocking
After recording the action, I need to pick two people model to test and start to produce. First of all, I want to make the blocking of two person movement without the smooth action, just for planning timing and finish some key poses.

Step 2. Breakdown
After blocking, I want to add some details in the actions of two people. For example, the movement of the shoulders and chest, as well as simple facial expressions.

 
Step 3. Final work
After the breakdown, also need further refinement of the movement of two people, including details of some finger movements and facial expressions. In addition, adjust the curve carefully to make the action looks smoother and beautiful.
