I finally got something to do :)
I've got four videos from why we protest. This is the first one... and it's divided into 9 parts. I have a lot of work to do but it's ok considering i'm doing something good with my new learned skill.
First of all we have to take into account that this is a interview. If you know something about television it's that nothing is what is seems to be. They probably discussed what the question were going to be. The interviewee had enough time to prepare appropriate answer's and if it's the case rehears and analyze his feelings about the subject. So it should be pretty hard to tell if he is lying about a particular point.
When you start talking with someone his and your body position is very important.
Every little detail in you posture, where and how your hands are, your facial expression(as you hear the other person talk), your breathing can give an observer some clue about what you are feeling.
Bought of them are keeping they're hand's crossed as a shield. It can first of all mean that they're mirroring each other. It's common plus they had a few minutes to talk about before the show began. The reporter is wiggling his big fingers meaning that he is pretty relaxed and confident. David on the other hand is listening very close and keep's his hand's still.
1) 00:00:30 / a false smile. they're two feelings mixed here. He is sad about(or disgusted) about the death of Hubard but he is trying to smile because that's appropriate /
2) 00:00:54 / contempt at the thought that there is controversy surrounding Scientology (bad or good publicity is publicity)/
3) 00:01:01 / he is looking down and to the left meaning Internal Dialog /
4) 00:01:22 / false smile and he is looking down and to the left the same as before /
5) 00:01:45 / a very important moment when we see bought of them. the reporter is very confident. he is holding his hand's in a very upright position(much like people in chard do when talking to someone inferior) while David is holding his hand close to him and very thing much like a personal shield between him and the rest of the world /
6) 00:02:04 / there are a few more expression that i skipped over but this moment is important because David after having a long dialog and remembering something funny about the source of this fact(bad thing about the church) is feeling confident and crosses his fingers. this is a very powerful gesture from someone/
7) 00:02:15 / David left hand is covering by his right hand... it's a manipulator(he is manipulating something with his hands) this is a sign that he is nervous about the fact that there are critical talking about the church/
8) 00:02:26 / it's all about the context. i shouldn't be bias but i can't help it. there isn't a clear sign that will tell you that someone is lying but his expression says it all. the reporter asked if the people are afraid and he is contempt about the people in question... in my opinion he is lying his ass of /
9) 00:02:57 / i have shown this body gesture before. i don't think that he has problem hearing what the reporter is saying, rater it is very important for him everything regarding this subject/
If you want you can point out the one's that i didn't show until the end of the video. There are a lot more facial expression and/or body movement along the video that i didn't point out because they're normal for a conversation.

I recently joined Anonymous and i offered my knowledge to them. This is why i started making a few videos with scientology members.
This is the famous Tom Cruise video which started the move.
* I will only show facial emotions... i will do another video with his body movement.
1) 00:01:18 / disgust in lower face - slightly contempt /
2) 00:01:34 / slight anger, maybe he is trying to conceal it /
3) 00:01:41 / conceal happiness. he is amused about something and is trying to conceal it with his hand. it's a happiness expression made with the whole face. also he is looking down and to his right which mean that he is remembering a feeling. /
4) 00:03:03 / micro expression of disgust. it's actually such a brief expresion that i can't make a gif to show you. if you want to see it start 1 second before the time and start looking for it until one second after this time. /
* there is one more at 00:02:27. the same micro expression it last only 600 microseconds.
5) 00:03:56 / contempt smile - asymmetric smile /
6) 00:04:24 / first of all that is not a smile it's actually a scorn. it's so well concealed you have to be very careful to see it. /
A few things that you have to take into consideration. First he is an actor... and a famous one although talent is something subjective. Even so he is trained to act... that means to fake emotions. And he is pretty good at it. This is probably the reason why I've seen only micro expressions. About the micro expression it's still a pretty bad video so the quality of my analysis is somewhat questionable. I would like to hear your opinion.
This is the first post i will do about this video. There is a lot of body movement and i would like to try to do a transcript analysis.... taking out all the bable and it will be interesting to see what we end up with.

I'm going to show you how to spot emotions on some politicians. I already analyzed a few videos with president Obama but i just found a little video with Marco Rubio
He is almost 40 so there no chance that he has permanent wrinkles that may trick us in detecting emotions.
1) 00:00:43 / contempt - his smile is only on one part - it's a very brief expression of confidence
2) 00:01:00 - 3 seconds / he is liking his lips like a viper spitting poison. this is in general a sign that he is nervous /
3) 00:01:10 / ya.... he doesn't believe a word he is saying. it's a classic manipulator. /
4) 00:01:12 / disgust, also a sign of contempt... maybe he knows that he is lying /
5) 00:01:22 - 3 seconds / he is very nervous. in course of 3 seconds he swallows a nod in his through and licks his lips twice. he is either lying or is extremely nervous for saying such things/
It's a 26 minutes videos which i will come back to after i will finish the other unfinished posts.

I recently got interested about Project Chanology and i promise to start making videos about scientologist which is very cool because they're such bad lairs despite what you would think.
This is the first video i was asked to view:
and here is the result:
1) 00:00:11 / contempt - asymmetrical smile /
2) 00:00:23 / looking down and to his left - this is the direction of someone eyes as they "talk to themselves". /
3) 00:00:25 - 3 seconds / shoulder shrug - i've talked about what this means in another article /
- 00:00:30 - 3 seconds
- 00:00:50 - 4 seconds /
4) 00:01:38 / disgust - upper lip si raised /
*transcript: this thing's happen, we report them to law enforcement
- 00:01:47 /
*transcript: from our stand point we are caring on.
To be continued... sorry to leave you half way but i have something else to do tonight.

It's a very short part of this video in which we can see some interesting emotions and body language from president Obama. I wasn't able to find all the video but i think there are enough to make a decent post.
Here is the video:
1) 00:00:12 / it's very important that he see's who is asking the question /
2) 00:00:20 - 2 seconds / he closes his eyes a little to long... he is bored :) /
3) 00:00:29 / he is looking down upon the person who is asking the question /
TRANSCRIPT* and unfortunately i believe the budget was ignored.
4) 00:00:31 / he tilt his head to one side. it's kind of like when you listen to a child saying something that you know it's a joke or something inapropiat/
5) 00:00:39 / a polite smile to "under democrat" /
6) 00:00:52 / anger showed by narrowing the lips /
TRANSCRIPT*You tripled the national dept over the next 10 years.
7) 00:00:53 / downwards left gaze of the eyes. You can understand what it means from here /
And there more but you can find them by yourself. It's very hard to find so much emotions or inner fight because they're basically payed to do this. That you The Young Turks for this nice video.

I have shown a lot of videos in which I have pointed out this subtle body movement but haven't taken the time to explain what dose it mean. The wikipedia article refers to "an exercise in weight training". For detecting lies this sign represent not knowing something.
This is the full body movement:
which is a pretty common sign. You probably seen it when you ask somebody a question and he doesn't know the answer
It's a general rule in detecting lies and emotions that if something isn't done right or doesn't seem natural it's probably wrong. Although in this example if you ask somebody a question and he doesn't raise his shoulders as up as he can it doesn't necessarily mean that he isn't truthful. It can just mean that for example while he is answering he kind of remembers the answer. Or he/she isn't exactly sure about the answer but choose to answer that he/she doesn't know because they're is in a hurry.
You always have to take in account what the subject of the inquiry is and the situation. This is a word of warning regarding all of the future tutorials. You shouldn't assume anything base upon one or two observation. You should take into consideration a lot of facts before you can say that somebody is lying. There isn't anything that can replace evidence in telling if somebody is truthful or not.
The shoulder shrugs that i have shown you are partial body movement. They usually occur when the person isn't sure about what he is saying.
Here are a few examples from the videos that i have analyzed:
The feeling that i have when I'm doing this is that I'm not comfortable in my own skin. I'm usually well aware of this type of sign's when I'm making them yet most people aren't. I have done a few controlled experiments in which this particular body movement is pretty common. I can't show the videos because the people that i have worked with(usually friend and family) wouldn't be to happy about this. In my experiments i ask the person that i would be interviewing a few question which they can answer truthfully or not. After the interview was over i would go over the question with them and get the sentences that are lies and the one's that are truthful and then watch the videos for sign's of deceit. It's not always a intentional misleading. Sometimes i would ask a difficult question and the first answer wouldn't always be truthful.
Hope this short tutorial was helpful and see you soon when i finish the "Chris Matthews Predicts Brown Win" video.

This is the video i'm going to be working on.
It's a very long video... about 10 minutes so i won't be doing it all in this post. In my next post i'm going to star explaining what is the shoulder shrug so stay tuned.
1) time 00:00:42 - 4 seconds / first shoulder shrug /
2) time 00:00:53 - 4 seconds / second shoulder shrug - more obvious /
3) time 00:01:07 - 3 seconds / defense maneuver /
4) time 00:02:40 - 3 seconds / sadness,head shaking from side to side in dissaproval and letting go of upper lip

I had a few discussions with the people who can help me get this blog launched and all of them suggested that i should try explaining what i am talking about.
I can't start to explain and build my tutorials because i need pictures and a lot of materials to illustrate. As all scientific data you shouldn't trust my word. I need facts and observable information. This isn't something new and there are a lot of studies done and i could easily copy someone else's work but that wouldn't help me in any way. I am here to learn as much or probably more than you. Work is the key to success and i need to work a lot to compete with those who are natural or who are doing this thing for a long time. There is a whole system to detect lies and deceit.
It is generally refereed to as deceit because you can't actually tell if he/she is lying or not. There isn't a clear facial expression for lying. Usually there are contradictions or Freudian slips. For example in the obama post i made i wasn't trying to prove he was lying. It just struck me that for wining the nobel prize he wasn't exactly surprised or humbled or happy or any other expression you would expect. Although i didn't analyzed all of the video it is clear that he is angry or extremely concentrated. The reason for this are multiple and are completely irrelevant.
Given the fact that i'm half a globe away i couldn't possible find out by future investigation what is the reason for the masked expression of anger. Maybe there weren't any hidden reason he just probably woken up on the wrong side of bed. This whole blog is just and exercise to help us understand and learn through repetition how to better understand human emotions. And if it's the case to help us detect in case of need what somebody is actually feeling.
You have to remember one thing... and consider this an official warning. Knowing how to read human emotions is like a special power. Don't get me wrong we all know how to spot a surprise face
a happy face
but maybe sometime the people showing a fake smiling face just want's to tell you that he is handling his problems. It isn't always necessary to point out that a person is sad or disgusted. Maybe it's with himself or with something that he remembered while he was talking with you. In day to day communication with friend and relatives it is recommended you avoid or at best be subtle about it.
Before i will start building the tutorial i will direct you to a few website's that you should read. I'm going to start with a link to wikipedia explaining who is Dr. Paul Ekman and what is his research about. You can find the link here. On the bottom of the page you will find the link to his website. On Dr. Paul's website you will see a lot of reference to a TV Series called Lie to me. Here is the official page. You can find all this link and many more just using google. I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary just pointing you in a direction in case your interested.
The initial study is about coding the facial movements FACS for short. He wrote a book about this. There is a lot of work just cataloging and coding all of the possible movements yet this is just the beginning to what is ahead. It wouldn't of been possible to continue research without this important step. The next one is determining emotions on the human face. You should take note that this is not the first time that this was researched.
Charles Darwin and Duchenne de Boulogne both try experiments to determine the fundamental question: are emotions common to all humans? Just a quick reference to Charles Darwins book and to Duchenne work and life
I will let you read the information i have given you and i will come back soon with a tutorial about shoulder shrug because i have a lot of material and examples regarding this.
