[COP3]Acting for animatos reflection2

It is important that body language could trigger emotion. For example in the end part of Monsters' Inc when Mike said goodbye to Boo and was only giving her hand-shake, Boo replied with a big warm hug. This is more than words can explain and which is actually more powerful than just saying I will miss you. Human love being connected with others especially family and friends. And when they saw similar scene that they have experienced, empathy generate easily.


'The audience's obligation is to suspend its disbelief and play along with you. The audience relates to the characters on screen, but it communicating with the animators instead. The final analysis the transaction between humans communicating with other humans,not humans communicating with drawn image.' When watching an animation is communicating with the animator, it is easier to understand how the emotion or message from the animators penetrates the screen to the audience.

There are a lot of examples around us daily. Comforting other would use quite a lot of body language. Placing your hand over shoulder could allow people to feel the comfort more and also a big hug afterward. It is not just doing for the sake but also show that you are emotionally attached with others and this is why we learn these actions and apply to others or understand the situation later on.

''feeling for acting'' Marc Davis suggests that an acting should be a feeling. It is important to experience the situation before acting out. For example teenagers would not be able to explain the feeling of being old as good as a middle-age adult because they have no experience of it, only have imagination. It would be impossible to ask one of my classmate in Leeds to react when I am talking in Cantonese which I would receive another body language showing confused.

I am going to continue research on dancing in the world. I want to know how they express the emotion in dance to praise the god who they have never met. What kind of move would they do and how could that help showing worship?
