Restraint is one of the hardest things to master in animation—and one of the most powerful.

We're all guilty of trying to do too much, show off our skills etc. However! It doesn't serve the shot or the story. The saying is "less is more" This is especially true when it comes to acting in animation.

Acting in a believable, grounded, and authentic way, without adding luscious arcs and movements to every syllable.

That's why we created a complete course on how to animate a restrained acting performance, taught by Lupin House Animation mentor and animator at Illumination Nicolas Joly!

From A to Z:
🎧 Listening to the dialogue
🖊️ Thumbnails and planning
🎬 All the way to final polish

Watch and learn how Nicolas tackles a subtle, restrained acting shot step by step.

PLUS: A bonus cartoony mechanics shot for those who just can't help themselves!
