 Welcome back. It is Thursday. That means acting analysis right amateurs and today I'm gonna take a look at the last episode of season seven of Star Trek the next generation So this one's very short. It's just a little sequence just like with the last one I thought why not? Why do something that's 10 15 20 minutes long? I can also do a quick little three to four minute clip, but why waste time? Let's get straight into the sequence. All right They are in the holodeck. Do you have Troy and Worf? They're having a good time They're talking about how things were sweet and romantic and she tells him I wasn't this great and he says yes I found it stimulating and she proceeds to tell him how awesome it was and romantic and cute He goes mmm. Yeah, actually it was yes, and then she continues She goes so the only thing you can say it was stimulating and his reaction is this Very stimulating Face is great. So he has that moment of well, it was many things Very stimulating and I love this and why do I love this? It's because of all the things he does while he thinks these are the things that you can do when you animate where you have lip sync And again, this could be one person two person This could be one character that's off-screen over the shoulder that you don't have to animate really And it's only one person, but it's the thing of a character listening Actually it should probably be like this this way into his ear and into the brain But he is listening to what she's saying and then he has a thought process And I love this where he goes, huh? And you can see this in his mouth and kind of the shifting in his body He's kind of you know, it's a nervous or just kind of active like okay. Hold on. Hold on What am I doing here? So it was very and then he has it's almost like he's forming thoughts and words without really saying them So he has that on his mouth And then you have this you can see how he looks over he thinks and then he has this He's got the straightening in his body from a somewhat of a C curve. He has somewhat of a arched back I mean he's very straight usually, but he has that little arch and watch this That little straightening he has now formed his new opinion and you can see that it starts in his body And you can see that little dart till I dart over Looks over to her. This is what I love. So he looks over another dart and then look at this That's the activation of That a little smile because in his mind the answer is great. It's perfect. He knows what to say. He locks in Look at that normal eye darts He has a bit of a head turn because that goes with what he's saying But he looks at her and goes very stimulating and then look at that even then it's funny how they linger on the shot He has that stare and yes looks down. It's almost like a little nod head down and up because he is so confident That this is the right thing to do or right thing to say and he goes, oh really and he was what? And then the scene ends But this is something I want you to think about is when the audio ends and there is a break between This line and the next line. What can you do? How far can you push the character? This could have been just a long stare stare stare And then he goes very simulating or it could have been a stare and then just a little smile Then very simulating with maybe a little bit of a head tilt as it was maybe a question or do exactly what he does here where it's all thought process and thinking and then Yeah, and this goes into something else where you don't have to wait when you have your lip sync You don't have to wait to portray and showcase the emotions when is in sync with the line Meaning that if someone like in this case, they're finding something in their thoughts and then now they're suddenly happy It's pretending it goes from confused to happy you don't have to do confused and then Happy when the lion is delivered in a happy tone You can anticipate you can have that thought process and show the resolution of that process and show that in their body Should I'm in the face so that you do something where it's kind of and then and then you say something where you anticipate to hold Delivery the happy delivery with that change in the face and or the body and then you deliver this now It's again It's very short, but I had that in my long list and I thought why not why not show this also I like Star Trek come out So if you think that it was interesting and you want to take those ideas in that thought process and all that and put that into your Shots and you want to work with me.
