Jared Charnov - almost there

Metamorphosis is going very well. I'm really having fun watching Gregg mime and teach us. Apparently Michael Jackson created his moonwalk by watching Marcel Marceau. Amazing! Our final project is almost pieced together and it has a lot to do what we've been talking about so I know it's going to be great and everyone will get it (not that I doubt anyone but it doesn't hurt to be sure). Though I can't wait for the next workshop I don't want it to end. So let's give it our all Silent Noise

Jared - timing expert

Today's workshop was more oriented to doing our final project (which by the way is still classified). Another thing I learned today with metamorphosis is that you need a lot of time to transition from one action into another. If you just completely change from one thing to another no one will understand what you're doing. So timing is everything, really it is.

Jared Charnov - master of time?

Today we learned about compressing and expanding time. (No, not really like in my daily practice) to give a comedic slap stick effect. We also learned how to do the metamorphosis which is really cool in order to switch acts up mid-action which makes things either a whole lot funnier or sweeter depending on the thing that was changed. I really like miming and I can't wait to finish this final project we're planning. But unfortunately what we're doing is classified.

Jared Charnov - The new Megaman?

Today, we learned how to do the robot. Yes, I said it, the robot. At first it was hard but I caught on quite quickly and at home I performed it for my mom and she had chills down her spine. We also learned how to  show the trajectory of throwing objects such as throwing balls, seeing them bounce off walls and floors and catching them. And even catching them was over exaggerated, we spun around on one foot and shook our head like a bobble head. It was really fun and humorous. We also learned the importance of slow motion and how it can be really funny to be the receiving end of a slow-mo punch, whether it be dodging it or waiting for it to come. I can't wait till the next one. Be seeing you (I really want to see the Prisoner again)

Jared Charnov - Buster of heads, pusher of carts, walker of dogs and drinker of drinks

Working with Gregg Goldston was a real honor. I really had a lot of fun learning mime techniques. I mimed the mime in a sense. The thing I learned was that you should always show your emotions to the crowd, because if they see your face, they see your thoughts because your eyes are your brains technically. I also learned about making certain movements and making people see optical illusions, like when creating a counter top. I also learned how to make facial expressions to show different kind of emotions from happy to sad, content to confused and so on. I can't wait to do more work with him.
