    Hey guys, so happy you appreciated my talk! ☺ It was originally much longer but I had to trim it down to fit roughly 20 minutes and it seems a few tips got chopped off in the final version. I'm very sorry about that and here are the missing tips:
    #30: Be aware your body proportions may differ.
    I, for example, have a longer torso than average. When I strike a pose, it might be a bit different than the one the character will do. So I have to keep that in mind when doing a performance and analyzing it later.
    #31: Notice how props naturally shift in your hands.
    If you grab a broom and start sweeping, the way your hands grip it will change depending on the pose. You may even be letting go of it for a split second and grabbing it a centimeter away in the middle of the action, without even realizing it. In some cases you may want to put some colored tape or stickers to the prop, just as a visual indicator, for when you are analyzing the hand grips later.
    #32: Remember it's just a tool in your toolbox.
    Recording video reference can be super helpful, but sometimes it can be an overkill. You may already get the information you need by just quickly posing in front of a mirror. Or getting a coworker to snap a couple of photos of you doing the key poses you have in mind. Or perhaps it might make way more sense to just do a rough grease pencil drawing pass. Each project is different and each shot has different requirements.

    1. Work within your timeframe and budget
    2. Study relevant extra material for your perfomrance
    3. The layout is your canvas
    4. Be aware of the hookups
    5. Listen to the dialogue again and again
    6. List the beats you have in mind
    7. Footage quality doesn't have to be perfect
    8. Record in the same frame rate as the film
    9. Use a tripod
    10. Use whatever orientation makes sense for your shot
    11. Safety first
    12. Create an environment similar to the shot
    13. Wear clothing that stands out and isn't too baggy
    14. Clothing might also be used for reference
    15. Shoes (or lack of) affect the performance
    16. Find/make props with correct shape, size and/or weight
    17. Use simple neutral lighting
    18. Same or very similar shot angle
    19. Full shot for body mechanics
    20. Medium shot for facials
    21. Quickly record the main poses and check the framing
    22. Don't be afraid of looking silly
    23. Avoid having an audience
    24. Video reference can still be helpful in a "cartoony" style
    25. Get into the mindset of your character
    26. If the character needs to think, you need to think
    27. Represent all of the acting beats
    28. Don't pretend, do it
    29. Physical limitations shouldn't stop you
    33. Perform to the camera
    34. Ask for help if needed
    35. Be mindful of happy accidents or imperfections
    36. You might need to fuse performances together
    37. Form 3-5 takes and quickly review (and then do more takes)
    38. Make note of yur favorite takes (and delete the ones you won't be using)
    39. Add the layout in the corner for timing
    40. Make the hookups black and white
    41. Export with a frame counter
    42. Remember that this experiment (reference video) is part of a conversation
    Bonues: You will get better with practice.
    PD: there seems to be missing a few tips from 29 to 33. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
