What a difference acting ability makes
July 6th, 2008
This is really interesting. Here are two different projects, both written by Michael Mann, where he uses the same scene with almost identical dialog.
Here is the first clip, from a pilot for NBC called “LA Takedown”, starring Scott Plank and Alex MacArthur:
Now here is pretty much the same scene, from the movie “Heat”, starring Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro:
It is amazing to me how much better the Pacino DeNiro version of the scene works. This is very relevant to animation, as figuring out how to act your scene can oftenmean the difference between good and great. You can see that for yourself in these clips.
