A short character acting exercise animated in Toon Boom Harmony.

The shot focuses on timing and expression, with the character rising into frame while shaking with fear before settling into a nervous hold.

I wanted to explore how small head movements and subtle jitter can communicate emotion quickly within a very short shot.

The background was also created for this piece to help ground the character in a simple environment.
