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.

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.

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.

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.

elana udrea is not exactly truthful

She is a politician from my country. Actually the minister of tourism. You can read more about her at this page. First thing is first:

1) normal face



2) just for posterity... try not to look at the cleavage... the face is more important :D



The video i wanted to show you is this one:



It's not one of most importance but is actually very funny. I will tell you all it's story after i do a little bit of analyze.

1) time 00:00:05 - 00:00:07 / false surprise, moving her face to one side /

Photobucket

2) time 00:00:09 - 00:00:11 / a lot of eye flicker /
Photobucket

3) time 00:00:12 / disgust / Photobucket

4) time 00:00:16 / shoulder shrug /
Photobucket

5) time 00:00:37 / false smile / Photobucket

For as much as i am concern she isn't truthful about not knowing anything about the telephone call. And in case you are wondering what it's all about. A few days before this interview on a well known TV program someone phoned and started praising her that she was doing a very good job. The TV host actually said "I have a very good musical ears, aren't you miss Elena Udrea?" The rest is history.

Is Obama 'suprised, humbled' by 2009 Nobel Peace Prize?

In this post I'm going to do something a little bit harder. I'm going to try to show the emotions of president Obama when he announced that he was surprised, humbled by the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

This is the video:



First a little bit of documentation. I need to see how a neutral face look likes. Unfortunately there isn't any out there or i should look harder. Anyways i found this ones showing a happy face, a neutral and a angry one so we should have a pretty good understanding of how his face normally looks like.



Happy



Normal - slightly concentrated



Angry




Now for the video

1) time 00:00:22 / slight anger shown in full face /

2) time 00:00:23 / masked expresion of anger /


... it basically like this all the movie. He is showing slight anger. This can also be concentration on what he is doing but no surprise or happiness. The reason may be multiple and i won't talk about the truth about what he is saying. Sorry about the poor quality and so little images but this is only my second time and i have yet to master enough patience to cut up the video before and prepare everything. I'm doing this on the fly and i am late as it is.
