Hey guys, Great work so far cant wait to see the final product. Personally for my opinion “which I hope makes sense” is,
I would go with the dark bloodshot eyes,reason being I think it blends well with the tone, and condition of the character as well as fit with the blood and scraping on the face. The Blackness really sets the uncomfortable “dark” mood and gives a really great depth which represents a DEEP,strong ,possession within the character. Very Powerful.
The other colors,white/green stand out..which is good.. however i think they stand out too much on the character, especially white which can begin to “look unnatural” this can be good but …too unnatural can take away from the effect/believability as well as the concentration which seems to be a crucial element for the full effect of this scene….. kind of like a soundtrack..you want to hear it,but at the same time not hear it to get the most effective blend that fits perfectly to the scene to gain maximum effect…if this makes any sense
the dark bloodshot eyes blend well with the scene/tone and gives it the magic blend that will make this scene strong and disturbing…. I think there is a big difference between saying “looks unnatural” and “is unnatural”. the difference requires a strong level of communication between the director and the talent that is hard to achieve.
When the talent has the rare and perfect blend of acting,look, and environment the difference becomes very clear. Only then will the character begin to look “unnatural” and that is truly disturbing. With The dark bloodshot eyes I think you will clearly achieve the look and you will be glad you did…But thats just my opinion
i agree that the green was way to sci-fi.
the white is a decent choice but there is so much white in the shot,it takes away from the eyes a bit and they blend in and tend to fade.making them whiter so they stand out looks a tad fake.
the red is interesting but it looks more like a medical problem ,not a supernatural one.
I would think that a dark shiny black might convey the possessed evil look and also be the stark contrast in the shot drawing the viewers attention immediately to them and also provide the shock that the scene seems to require.
just my two cents. Elke, love your work!!
