Body acting

This exercise was to convey emotion and personality through body movement. I thought of a barman character, terrified whilst being held up at gunpoint and sneaking back to reach for his own gun. I had just watched From Dusk Till Dawn, and Inglorious Basterds, so I was clearly in the Tarantino mindset. My character was inspired by the prolific but unsung Danny Trejo - Look at this grizzled specimen, what an awesome presence. So some designing later...
