Circle of Life - Simon Spear
This is the Circle of Life: is a series of stand alone but interconnected short films that can be played individually or as a continuous narrative. In their entirety they provide a snapshot of our marine world at the end of the first decade of the 21st century. They are not meant to be definitive, but rather provide a personal account of what I’ve seen and filmed in HD over the last couple of years.

Another type of timing, for me, is my overall phrasing*; or the varied rhythms I choose to help communicate or exaggerate the emotion behind the force of a body, as well as create an engaging and visually interesting scene. This is very musical for me, just like the dynamics of melody or the arrangement of a song. Any good singer, speaker, actor or dancer uses an instinctive sense of phrasing to guide (almost lure) their audience through a performance; letting them rise and rest with the varied energies in their voice or body; keeping us interested, engaged, expectant and curious. A good musician can take control of your breathing. A good dancer can make you tense and release your muscles in sympathy with their own. A good comedian can coax you in to a sense of intimacy, only to surprise you with their punchline. Which leads me to my last category… Comedic or dramatic timing.
This most sophisticated use of timing – comedic/dramatic timing – employs the purposeful manipulation of an audience’s expectations to produce a spontaneous response; like bursts of laughter, tears of joy (or sadness), screams of fear or surprise, etc. I think comedic/dramatic timing is what people are asking about when they wonder about the secrets of good timing. Although it may be hard to execute, I find it the easiest to explain. Easy because it’s all about one thing: expectation. What does your audience expect to happen right at that moment, or in the very next moment? and are you going to fulfill or defy that expectation? And most importantly, when?
Here’s some different ways you could interpret the comedic timing in a piece of physical comedy.. (And I’m going to work in animatic form, because I believe good story artists are natural timing experts.)
Lets use a very cliché example of a head bonk.

animSelector Update (v1.3.2) - Luca Fiorentini
Hi guys, finally an update version of this awesome tool is out.
Anim selector is a maya script, created by a friend of mine Luca Fiorentini, that lets you create selection sets for your rigs that can be then selected from a picker window. It is extremely useful both when your rig came with no GUI and when you need to extend the controls on an existing one.
Here you can find a direct link to his blog, where you can download it.

Caldera - Evan Viera
Awesome shortfilm...
Through the eyes of a young girl suffering from mental illness, CALDERA glimpses into a world of psychosis and explores a world of ambiguous reality and the nature of life and death.
The director Evan Viera said: "CALDERA is inspired by my father's struggle with schizoaffective disorder. In states of delusion, my father has danced on the rings of Saturn, spoken with angels, and fled from his demons. He has lived both a fantastical and haunting life, but one that's invisible to the most of us. In our differing understanding of reality, we blindly mandate his medication, assimilate him to our marginalizing culture, and entirely misinterpret him for all he is worth. CALDERA aims to not only venerate my father, but all brilliant minds forged in the haunted depths of psychosis."
