Tuesday, August 11, 2009, 8:34 AM
The way they walk-The prince always walks upright, stamping te ground with his feet as he is the authority and one who is in an extremely high position. He never bends his knees. When turning, he pivots just like army men or does th 'check T L V thingy'(didn't know how else to put this). He is always marching from one place to another and is very rooted to the ground.
They way they move their upper body and posture-
The upper body hardly moves, unless it follow the movement of the arm, and even this is not done very obviously. It moves with the lower body as if one unit, and or seems to have a 'swagger' when walking. This motion which i call 'swagger' is actually the character's persona which is seen through the way the body sways. This motion is done by moving more of the hips to give off a slightly more feminine composure to portray a more loving male character.
The way the make gestures with their arms-
The gestures, are very locked. The fingers must be closed tight and movements are done with the use of the shoulders while the elbows are locked at different positions to give a more addertive demeanour to the movement.
The way they move their heads-
This character doesn't move his head too much, unless he wishes to assert a point or portray a sudden change in emotion as regardless of his persona, a male has to be stoic and calm.
In General-
This character is quite uptight in his movements, yet he presents himslef with grace and poise as expected of one from regal bearing.
