MOVEMENT COACHING & CONSULTING FOR FILM, TV, COMMERCIALS,
MUSIC VIDEO, DIGITAL MEDIA (VIDEO GAMES, INTERNET)

When Mime or specialized movement is required by actors, animatronic figures, or animated characters, Mime and Movement Coach Lorin Eric Salm consults on movement research and creation, and can train or coach talent in performing required movement.

MOVEMENT DESIGN
Bringing the director's vision to the screen often requires designing special movement for characters representing fictional cultures, alien species, mechanical creatures, zombies, animals, and more. Whether the characters are played by live actors, animatronic figures, or are CGI/animated, we collaborate on the movement design by assisting with concept, research, and/or creation. (For animated projects, also see our Character Movement for Animation Workshops.)

ACTORS
The casting process does not always find actors who have both the right face and the right skills for a role—especially when that role has special movement requirements. Actors playing aliens, robots, animals, and other non-human characters may need special coaching. We work directly with the actors in rehearsal and/or on set, from groups of extras to one-on-one coaching of principals.

BLUE/GREEN SCREEN & MOTION CAPTURE
When the actor's job calls for working in an artificial empty space, simulating interaction with non-present characters, objects, environments, and effects, we put our expertise in illusion to work. We coach actors in rehearsal or on set, and can consult on which movements to use and how best to execute them with precision.

COMMERCIALS & MUSIC VIDEO
Formats that rely on short clips and quick cutting need to communicate the essence of a moment quickly and clearly. The choice and performance of actors' movements is critical. In pre-production, rehearsal, or on set, we work with you to identify and choose the best ways to make the most of each shot, and coach the talent to make each movement count.
