The Foundation is set. Now, give the Beast a Soul.
In Beast Mode 1, you learned how to move. In Beast Mode 2, you learn why it matters. This is the stage where your creature stops being a "biological study" and becomes a Character. Whether it’s a regal dragon, a tortured zombie, or a cunning alien predator, a performance is only as good as the intention behind it. We teach you how to bridge the gap between "Animal Behavior" and "Cinematic Storytelling," ensuring your work carries the weight and depth required for AAA games and feature film volumes.
What You Will Master:
- The Character Arc of the Beast: Learn to layer human-level objectives and emotions onto non-human anatomy.
- The Audition Kill: Master the specific performance markers that show directors you aren't just "mimicking an animal"—you are embodying a role.
- Narrative Movement: Use weight, breath, and gaze to communicate a creature’s history, status, and intent without a single word of dialogue.
- Collaborative Pre-Vis: Understand how to work with directors and animators to ensure your character's "soul" survives the technical pipeline.
Don’t just move like a beast. Think like one.
