The way to tell a story

Tried to study composition and silhouette from the movie Twilight Samurai.

Lighting does a lot of job to tell the story, but yeah for me as an animator, there are some interesting things I found. The direction of the body, Angle of head, What hands are doing when 2 ppl is talking. Those things are subtle thing, but it conveys a lot of emotion of the character.

I found this study fun, I might do this again for another movie.
