Acting - Final Progress

This is my final video for this assignment.

To improve from the previous progress (Acting), I have added in more details in terms of postures and reactions in this video. I have edited the story to make it more natural and realistic.

Areas I've edited:

- tapping his left feet to shaking his right feet
- edited the speed of the ball to allow it to look more realistic as it 'fly' pass the hogan
- the hogan appears more shocked with his body leaned slightly backwards and his arms raised up a little
- after realizing that his scoop ice cream had fallen onto the ground, he stared towards the direction where the ball came from angrily and raised his hands.
- looking at his empty ice cream cone left, he lowered his head and didnt know what to do.

Favourite 3D movie clip

DESPICABLE ME!
a 2010 American computer-animated 3D comedy film from Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment.

WHAT?
A story about a super villian named Gru, adopting 3 adorable orphan girls only as a pawn for his grand scheme, only to realise his humane self when loving those girls just like his own. Their love eventually changed a super bad villian to their super loving dad.

HOW? it attracted me
Unlike most other 3D films regardless of their country of production, this movie caught my heart as it touches me with its heart-rending storyline. This family-friendly 3D comedy film not only attracted many audience ranging from different ages, it also received truck loads of positive reviews and critics from other production company worldwide.

WHY? i like this movie
With such adorable characters featuring in the film, its tough not to have myself into it! Margo, Edith and Agnes in particular! Especially Agnes, the youngest among the orphan sisters, also who is known for her fondness of unicorns. Her extremely adorable scenes like popping her cheeks and hugging the gigantic unicorn definitely made all the audience go awww! (:

With a 3D comedy movie clip so high of a standard, i would definitely look forward to better and more successful 3D movies from either production company from overseas or even in Singapore!
