Went through the key poses I created below and took a second pass. Usually, this means final camera placement, working over the pose and in some cases completely redoing it. I try to make the thought process, situation or emotion as clear as possible, and attempt (sometimes unsucessfully!) to remove cliche or weak acting.
This exercise has been tremendous for the speed at which I create and iterate on key poses and have been seeing those benifits in my other work. A few thumbnails to nail down the gist of the pose, throw it down in a quick and dirty way in Maya and then rework it for clarity.
