4th Pass Emotional Polish

Last level of detailed animation to help support the emotional ideas trying to be conveyed.
Make something loose feel looser.
Something tense, tenser.
Micro-movement

Facial Polish
Eyes and Blinks
Brows
Mouth
Push poses further
Make it convey the essence

 For the 4th pass. I decided to make the hands feel a bit more loose and pushing it back further in some areas. The jaw I wanted to make a bit more loose and move with the motion of the head. I also added more micro movement such as some minor follow through with the ears. Other things were further animated such as the nose and the lips were pushed a bit further for the "fs" and "ms". Showed more teeth on the consonants and also animated the cheeks and tongue to squash and stretch accordingly. There are two versions which I thought about: one where the character's eyes turn white to suggest that he has some kind of supernatural power, but then I thought the eyes were a bit strange and people couldn't relate to it, therefore I decided to go for the more human aspect.


 


Overall, the main idea I was aiming for was that it's about a psychic who ends up finding out about a dangerous future. Finding out where a person was from (family of thieves) and eventually finding out what the person's motivations are: the motivation to rewrite his own history at any cost. The psychic gets nervous when a gun is pointed towards him.
