Thesis: Subtlety and Nuance in Character Performance

What is it that makes a convincing character performance? What are the
techniques that when used by a skilled actor, provides their character humanity on screen.
I argue that it the use of subtlety and nuance in a performance that elevates it to greatness.
It was the cast of Vince Gilligan’s Breaking Bad’s employment of these methods that
helped solidify the series as one of the greatest crime dramas ever produced for television.

Hey! I'm a visual development artist and character animator. I co-produced Púca, and was an animator on a number of other films. I enjoy working in all aspects of animation, and I am looking forward to continue developing my skills in the future.
