The Way A Character Moves And Expresses Themselves In The Context Of Varying Environments And Situations

The way a character moves and expresses themselves in the context of varying environments and situations helps develop the viewer’s understanding of their personality in ways that exposition simply can’t. With animated characters, gestures, body positioning, and expressions can be exaggerated or restrained limitlessly to achieve a limitless range of effects on how we perceive them.

Here are my favorite expressive, character-defining framings and body positionings of Medic in Expiration Date.
