Hey Sherm, I watched this video. What struck me was how often I default to straight-on view rather than 3/4 view. l am not quite sure why I do this, but I will keep an eye out for it as I go along.
Thanks Sherm, great lesson. Now I understand why I never see profile shots in movies (and why they’re hard to find reference for when I need to draw them). So basically it’s best not too be to extreme with angles unless the story allows for some special effects? (Are they called special effects because they deviate from normal trends?
Hi Alan — yes, you described that exactly right. There’s a lot more about Angles in Video 2-01 also. See also this video: https://vimeo.com/42437552 It’s a webinar I did a few months ago that addresses this issue completely!
NOTE: You’ll need a password to watch the video password is: thekey

That’s a very common thing to do, but once you’re aware of it, you’ll find it happens less frequently 🙂
