PLAN: With this theme we are not out to offend or mock anyone but will have a little fun with cliché stereotypes of ‘what it means to be a manly man’ -- in recent and earlier pop culture. The four of us will take turns, starting with a few warm-up short poses (2- 5m) then 15 and 20m poses. Be prepared for some creative costumes and characters like perhaps The Plumber, The Lumberjack, The Castaway, The World’s Most Interesting Man … who knows? We’ll switch between models with a couple breaks for artists. We chose 15-20m poses to give you a chance to render the figure as well as some of the costuming and props. Each model
will present two different looks/characters.
POSE FLOW (// break; MM=ManlyModel): 5x 2m, 5m (MM1); 15m (MM2) // 15m (MM3), 15m (MM4) // 20m (MM1) // 20m (MM2) // 20m (MM3) // 20m (MM4) // artist show ‘n tell (voluntary and may run past the 2hr)
NOTES: No do-it-yourself screenshots, please. If interested in purchasing a screen shot for reference from one of the poses, please obtain the contact info for model in question (using Zoom chat during the session) or contact Avid afterwards.
