RW Facial Expression Notes (Courtesy of Elizabeth and Marianne...)

Age 100
-see distress brow first, don't need anything in the mouth yet
-As pain gets more intense, frown and squint, compress lips
-mouth position would be ok here if we could get it so that the teeth don't show

Age 300
-eyes need to squint more

Age400
-more concern, wider eye, more obvious distress brow

Age 500
-a bit more distress in the brow

Age 700
-good

Age 800
-Keep same very distressed expression from age 700 at the beginning of this shot
-the end expression is a closed mouth smile, asymmetrical
-mild distressed brow looking at mei

Age 1100:
-Needs more sadness
-much more distress brow
-eye widen a little as well
-compress the lips, moving the corners of the mouth down is not as important if eyes/brows are sad

Age 1200:
-Right now Oyon looks more sick than sad, try for the opposite (even the storyreel expression is more sick than sad, so don't use this exactly)
-Wide eyes for worry/concern, raise the eyelids for more concern, distress brow

Age 1300
-Both need to look worried as they look to the bottle
-Then mei looks down at nothing in particular "lost in thought/worry"
-then oyon looks down worried
-then look at each other
*Mei's eyes need to compress during hug--lots of emotion

Note: Oyon could look down at Mei instead.
Goodbye 100
-Both mei, oyon back to stoic faces

Goodbye 200
-Oyon staying strong for Mei

Goodbye 600
-Needs to be more of a dramatic shift
-More distress in brow
-head stays down through Oyon's turn instead of raising it up

* Death 900 *
Three main faces:
1-Happy, the face now looks a little too dreamy because her upper eyelids are down.  Raise these back up, and raise the lower lids in a warm smile.  Also, widen the mouth smile.
2-Shock, make this more extreme than it is now.  Widen eyes so white above iris.  Full distress brows, should open mouth if this can be done without seeing the teeth.  The key to this face is that it is all out shock, but we see it *very* quickly.  3-Eyelids close as head droops forward.  No expression on her face (since she's dead...)

Death 1900
-timing of mouth too floaty
-kind of looks like fish eating :)
-eyes good
-mouth corners need work

Death 2100
-initial look of horror, is great, leave it
-mouth is good, eyes aren't over the top which is good.  nice work :)

Death 300
-mei needs to look at the bottle with a smile of content to show that she did her job of getting medicine (yep, this is a change from what we have talked about before)
Note: we need to discuss this further

Coping 300
-perhaps bring mei's hand to her mouth
Note: we need to discuss further
-eye's widen, brows raise
-mouth drop open

Unfinished 200
-neutral to sad and very tired
-drooping eyelids
-depressed (tired)

Unfinished 400
-look sad (lessening from the depression of U200)
-leave mouth neutral

Unfinished 1500
-sad, not tired

Magic 700
-Oyon is good
-Mei needs to be smiling more, extreme joy
