#1 Keep on learning
Never stop learning! Look to constantly better yourself and your talents by learning from your peers. Be sure to surround yourself with people whose strengths complement your weakness – how else can you expect to develop?
#2 Remember Rhythm, Tilt, and Twist
Convey the illusion of life by mastering pose design that embodies Rhythm, Tilt, and Twist. Study sculptures from the Renaissance and practice life drawing to improve your observation. For a more organic drawing, do the RTT check: contrapposto in hips and shoulders? Flat to camera or 3D form? Suggesting movement? Rejecting symmetry? Facial expression appealing?
#3 Get in Character
Live in the head of your character and animate what they are feeling, not what they are doing. The more you think like the character the more authentic and believable your performances and animations will be.
#4 Keep your audience on their toes
Linear and contrived is boring. Strive to create a sense of expectation with your audience and then deliver something totally unexpected. Whatever you’ve primed the viewer for, try surprising them as the best drama or comedy comes from plot twists and misdirection.
#5 Show your own vulnerability Bring yourself in to make a genuine shot that evokes empathy. Take personal, identifiable experiences and use them to create expressive performances that connect to the audience. Your shot will show that true spark of life, be more meaningful, and most importantly, memorable.
