Expression Change
This was sent out the other day as a great reference of expression change. I wanted to share it…
Now that the Olympics are over we can look at the best clips. Like I said, some of the best clips are the reactions to events and sometime not the event themselves. This is a perfect example of that. You can see the Canadian reaction is so much different. When they cut to the Russian bobsled team you see the guy on the right get excited, then realize that he is on TV and react differently. It looks like there are 3 main beat changes in this reaction. Also, look at how his teammate reacts. Click on pic for video… Please post links to your favorite reactions in the comments section.
PS: coming soon – more spline casts and hopefully some interesting posts.

I remember seeing one subtle expression change in figure skating. It was an American girl who just skated her best routine. From the way she was acting it was obvious she thought she was going to get first. Then, when she got second, the excitement just kind of dulled into being disappointed yet still moderately happy.
I thought it was interesting… I’ll have to find a video somewhere.

That’s a great video. I don’t usually think of people having different reactions/personalities on TV like that, but they obviously do. Very interesting.

Charles Hamelin’s girlfriend Marianne St-Gelais goes nuts while watching him win the men’s 500m short track gold. Not so much an expression change, but a great example of how exaggerated somebody’s excitement can be. Some of the other people around her are interesting to watch as well.

This has been posted everywhere but it still gets me every time and it’s such great reference:

There’s some great reactions of the coach after he realizes he sent his skater into the wrong lane, thereby disqualifying him from the race. Even better is the end where the skater actually thinks he won, only to realize what actually happened.

Hi,
The 2nd Russian was trying to fake it when he forgot he was on live but his body said oh well.. lol
Thanks for posting and the breakdown of it, behavior, emotions and movement is so fun to see and learn from. Looking forward to pro tips and advice from your SplineCasts.
Have a great week
