Do people still use the resource thread? It seems like that board does not get much traffic beyond new folks introducing themselves.
Latest find: The Art of Pantomime, 1927
http://www.mondobeyondo.com/projects/art_of_pantomime/Public domain book. The first half has a catalog of gestures and poses for actors to express various emotions and whatnot. I can imagine silent film stars of that era studying this kind of thing. Also, mimes. The second half seems to cover creating silent dramas or plays. Things that work, things that don't. I'm still reading this part.
Useful, I think, for artists who want some help with posing figures (static or animated). Not useful for basic run and jump motions, but for emotions or more subtle action. Example from the section on hands:
"The open hand with fingers spread, palm down, thrust forward at the level of the waist, the hand reached out open and the fingers closed one by one [means] to steal."
Try it out and, yep, that's a good motion to convey theft.
Anyway, free to grab, folks might find this useful. I'm liking it so far.
