So as my first post on this blog I thought it would be nice to share a fantastic little bit of video that iv been studying recently.
Its an advert for a new app where you post your deepest secrets to the world, now personally that had no draw for me, but the video itself shows close up-mid shots of random people from the public answering what there big secret is.
First off the people in this video are hit by an awkward question and most if not all of them feel a little defensive by the fact this question is trying to cover up something to personal and close. I mean its a secret for a reason, as actually one of them states.
Then they really start to unravel what ever it is they wish to impart to the world, while doing so i find it really intriguing to watch their eye movements. For the most part people in this video are obviously very uncomfortable, some are less so, and it can all be followed in the eyes. Watch every detail, even when they blink, they do this often when they get a little nervous and start thinking a lot or very slightly changing there mood/thought.
My favourite would defiantly be the insecurities the girl with brown hair and glasses showed. and also the man who admitting to running over a girls dog and lying about it, really caught me by surprise.
My tip for animators is to watch it at least once with the sound completely off, there for its only the movement conveying emotion nothing else. Defiantly worth a study ;)
