The climax to the animation perhaps hosts the greatest range of emotions. More playing with the morpher sliders!
The opening scene has Kris with a fairly neutral face, while Carl's now looking somewhat defeated already. Carl only needed his eyes closed and a slight 'pout' applied. Everything else had been taken care of by the body language.
Kris' analysis of the board proved yet more opportunity to pull his eyes about. Once again, his right eye took dominance as it scanned the board more closely.
The above expression only required both eyelids to be thrown open (Some of the 'Shock' morpher was also used so that he opened his mouth). Snapping the eyes wide took care of most of the expression for this part.
Kris does a good job of looking smug. As before, combining a smile with lowered eyelids seems to work wonders. The eyes were also lowered to emphasise the level of comfort.
Much like Kris - Carl's shock only really required a gaping mouth and for both eyes to be thrown wide open. This time, however, Carl also had the 'Raised' eyebrow morpher to help exaggerate the expression.
Throwing the 'Raised' to 'Frown' was pretty much all I needed to change Carl from shocked to angry.
As he smacks the board, Carl holds an incredibly petulant face. Keeping in tune with the lack of movement of his body, Carl's expression does not change as he hits the board (He doesn't even blink). Kris, on the other hand is given somewhat of a shocked expression, as his eyes also flinch and retract further backwards.
In the closing stages, we finally see Carl with a smile again. He's finally able to use the "Yeah" expression that was originally saved for his victory dance. Kris only required a slight pout to show his disapproval. And with this, the expressions and smaller details were now completed.
