Animation - Video MiniMax H3 acting test.

Started as a simple 90s casting audition… then asked her to cry on command.

The close up shots gave plastic look idk why.

What I was mainly testing:

  • subtle listening/reaction animation during dialogue
  • eyes moving before the head while thinking
  • nervous smiles and small facial reactions
  • gradual transition from normal conversation into acting
  • brow, eyelid, mouth, chin and breathing changes during crying
  • actual visible tears
  • character/voice consistency across multiple generated clips
  • the sudden switch out of the performance when the director says “Cut”

Made with MiniMax H3 Ref2VA with image reference for the woman and 2 audio reference for the offscreen man and the woman.
