Demoreel Markus Plinke 2018
These are some pieces of my work I did over the last couple of years. It mainly contains workpieces I developed for several Feature Film Productions. All the Animation you see in this Demoreel is done by me with an average creation period of 12sec/week.
Recent Work
The Objective was the Creation of the Character Animation for each Character in specific Sequences based on the Storyboard and the Director´s instructions. All the Animation in the video Clips below is done by me with an average creation period of 12 seconds per week.
My Mission
Throughout the world history mankind always has suffered from stage fright. In over 10 years as a Character Animator working together with digital actors I experienced that even in the digital world stage fright is a widespreaded phenomenon – but with much more embarrassing effects resulting in what I call the “T-Pose-Syndrome”. Symptoms of the T-Pose-Syndrome are the complete incapability to move and communicate triggered by the sudden fear to failure as soon as a curtain opens or a camera turns on. Affected digital Actors find themselfs standing stiff with outstretched arms desperately revealed to the audience – not able to even blink. A horrible Nightmare and a traumatizing Experience for many digital Actors.
My Mission is to help affected digital Actors to find a way back on Stage so that they are capable to unfold their full acting potential again and to retrieve their self confidence after such traumatizing Experiences . With over 10 years of Experience in digital Computer Animation I know how to teach them to find expressive Poses combined with convincing facial expressions for thrilling outstanding acting moments. No more T-Pose-Syndrome once and for all – guaranteed!
