Those fast beat breathing are often there! Or during an idle state. But yeah, in terms of mechanics and sometimes acting, a breath during blocking or splining stage is definitely called for. <br /><br />I think often when a character talks, and suddenly does a stop or pauses before continuing, those pause moment are normally some of the best moment for breathing time. And for those, I suppose it's better to do those during the blocking stage, or at least the splining stage. Just my 2 cent from observation! :DHammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11698462888393458970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1987126766473546429.post-50730500488228760032010-02-23T18:44:56.730-08:002010-02-23T18:44:56.730-08:00all i can say is ...GASP*all i can say is ...GASP*thndrcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05288899303977902049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1987126766473546429.post-45323300959639876402010-02-23T18:30:03.672-08:002010-02-23T18:30:03.672-08:00you'll have to tell me who's work you'...you'll have to tell me who's work you're lookin' at and who gave you the info.

Thats right, playing it appropriate to the scene. Everyone will work different, but for me I guess it helps if I incorporate it into the shot before polish, because, physically at least, it will always play an important role in the mechanics.<br /><br />Mariya K- Hey thanks for stopping in.

JD (Jean-Denis Haas) is one, he is always teaching us stuff like these. :) Breath pass is tricky, it has to be very subtle sometimes because you don't want it to become distracting. And it's better to put them during the polishing stage unless it plays an important role in your shot. Thanks for the reminder too!! Always great to revise these! :DHammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11698462888393458970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1987126766473546429.post-5333932229639538942010-02-22T22:43:26.390-08:002010-02-22T22:43:26.390-08:00Breath pass.
