First request video David Miscavige Interview ( 1 of 9 )

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.
Photobucket
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 /
Photobucket

2) 00:00:54 / contempt at the thought that there is controversy surrounding Scientology (bad or good publicity is publicity)/
Photobucket

3) 00:01:01 / he is looking down and to the left meaning Internal Dialog /
Photobucket

4) 00:01:22 / false smile and he is looking down and to the left the same as before /
Photobucket

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 /
Photobucket

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/
Photobucket

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/
Photobucket

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 /
Photobucket

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/
Photobucket

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.

The famous Tom Cruise Interview. What is he really felling.

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 / Photobucket

2) 00:01:34 / slight anger, maybe he is trying to conceal it / Photobucket

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. /
Photobucket

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. / Photobucket
* 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 /
Photobucket

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. /
Photobucket

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.

Marco Rubio CPAC Address - detecting politician emotions

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
Photobucket


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 /
Photobucket

3) 00:01:10 / ya.... he doesn't believe a word he is saying. it's a classic manipulator. /
Photobucket

4) 00:01:12 / disgust, also a sign of contempt... maybe he knows that he is lying /
Photobucket

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/
Photobucket


It's a 26 minutes videos which i will come back to after i will finish the other unfinished posts.

Indian Interview - body language

Continuing with this video analysis of a Chinese being interview i'm doing a indian. Again i have absolutely no idea what this guy is saying but you will see the same emotions and body language as everybody else.

The video:


1) ~ 00:00:24 / he starts the interview with his hands crossed. in this case it's a comforting gesture he feels safe that way to the upcoming interview /
Photobucket

2) 00:00:40 / looking down and to the right meaning he is experiencing some feelings when talking. a transcript would be nice :) /
Photobucket

3) 00:00:45 / looking up and to the right - visual construction /
Photobucket

4) ~ 00:00:57 / starting being a little bit more happy and confident about what he is saying /
Photobucket
* a few seconds later he crosses his fingers and places them on his knees. crossed fingers represent one of the most confident body movement that i know of.

5) 00:01:22 / slight angry - the brows are lowered and drawn together; vertical lines appear between the brows; the lower lid is tense/
Photobucket
*it's not a full expression of anger and i'm not sure that he is really angry but he is feeling something important(it can be that the expression is of concentration)

6) 00:01:32 - 4 seconds / he takes two deep breath of air and blinks rapidly. he isn't confident or it's something very important to him/
Photobucket
* you can't see the first deep breath but if you look at the video it's a few seconds before this scene starts

7) 00:02:11 - 3 seconds / a very good example of micro expressions. he changes from anger to happiness in just a seconds. you have to watch very carefully to see what i'm talking about /
Photobucket

To Be Continued....

Obama Nails Rep. & Cenk Debunks Rep's Lies

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 /
Photobucket

2) 00:00:20 - 2 seconds / he closes his eyes a little to long... he is bored :) /
Photobucket

3) 00:00:29 / he is looking down upon the person who is asking the question /
Photobucket
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/
Photobucket

5) 00:00:39 / a polite smile to "under democrat" /
Photobucket

6) 00:00:52 / anger showed by narrowing the lips /
Photobucket
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 /
Photobucket


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.

Chinese interview with Mr. Wong Yuk Man (黃毓民) in Calgary

A friend gave me the idea of doing videos of Chinese people. First of all because i can't understand one word of it and it would be grate to see some emotions on a face that isn't that familiar. It's important to remember that oriental culture is very different from the western one. For example when showed a disgusting video an oriental will not show his emotions in public because it's not customary. Still it will be interesting to see what we can get from a small video.

The video in question is this one:


1) 00:00:04 / defensive stance - he isn't confident about the interview or he is just not comfortable being asked all the question /
Photobucket

2) 00:00:44 - 2 seconds / he gained confidence by being more open to the person who interviews him /
Photobucket

3) 00:00:52 - 5 seconds / he started to gesture about what he was saying /
Photobucket

4) 00:01:03 -2 seconds / a very particular nose pick after settings his glasses. touching your nose is a gesture intended to calm yourself but i never saw it done this way /
Photobucket

4) 00:01:20 / disgust or slight anger showed in the lower part of the face - this face actually means that he is says OK or agrees with someone but he is not satisfied by the situation /
Photobucket

I will do the rest of the video later. I'm running out of videos so i must use my limited resources as much as i can. It's not that i don't have videos but only a few of them so a lot of emotions. And for now i just want to show the emotions on people faces. For example in this video i only seen only one... the rest where body movements.

Heidi Said

I really like this girl. She is always sad or angry or surprised about the world. I consider her my benchmark to compare with other people. Maybe i'm just a sucker for girls with problems. Maybe she doesn't have problems but that's the impression that she gave me.

This is her video:


and this is what i saw:

1) time 00:00:04 / sadness in the brows and the lower face /
Photobucket

2) time 00:00:06 / contempt - usually contempt is registered by a asymmetrical smile /
Photobucket

3) time 00:00:13 / disgust - raising of the chin /
Photobucket

4) time 00:00:51 / i can't see all her face but it look to me that it's a sad face covered up by a smile /
Photobucket

5) time 00:01:20 / a blend with disgust and contempt - disgust by raising of the chin and contempt from a asymmetrical smile /
Photobucket

I found one more contempt at 00:01:27 which i won't cut out.

Chris Matthews Predicts Brown Win part 2

I'm finishing this video



It's very important when you start to detect emotions to have a baseline of how the person looks or stand normally. He may have a back problem and walk leaning forward. If in this case you see him talking with someone it's false to assume that he is interested in the person. As with the face the length or deepness of wrinkles on the face determine in some percentage what the emotions is. With age some faces tend to have more permanent wrinkles so you have to be careful with judging the expression.

It's very hard to find normal faces usually there smiling which makes most of the permanent wrinkles disappear.

Photobucket

and

Photobucket

1) time 00:03:03 / sadness in the lower eyelids , looking down and sadness mouth /
Photobucket

2) time 00:04:49 / happiness in the eyes and in the mouth /
Photobucket

3) time 00:05:28 / slight angry registered by the brown lowered and drawn togheter, vertical lines appearing between the brows and lower lip tense and raised
Photobucket
* The anger emotions has to register on the full face or it can mean something else. You have to take into consideration what he is saying that we see this kind of emotions.
Part of the transcript: "I don't make statements like i don't work in a emergency room if you have a conscience and are for abortions. I mean how do you make statements like that."
We can pretty safely assume that he is angry on the people who say such things.

4) time 00:06:57 / sadness the same as before with a little bit of fear in the forehead. There are horizontal lines only in the middle part.
Photobucket


There are a few more emotions until the end of the video. I should point to two important moments when he beats his lips twice. The first time at 00:07:13 and a second time at 00:07:22 meaning that he is probably anxious or nervous about the statements.
