Quote: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kindergarten Cop

 

{Frame 1-25}

 

"You are mine now!"

 

He looks down at person(s) off screen.

Crazed, angry look, one eyebrow raised, mouth open.

Pointing.

 

{Frame 25-50}

 

"You belong to me!"

 

Looks to his right. Points to self aggressively.

 

{Frame 50-125}

 

"You're not gonna have you're mummy stand behind you anymore and wipe you're little tooshies!"

 

Looks left. Lowers body and brings out hand to recreate bum wiping motion.

Face expression changes instantly on 'Tooshies!'.

Looks right and makes a grimace type shape with mouth to say word. Eyebrows raised and eyes wide open.

 

{Frame 125-200}

 

"No more complaining. No more, 'Mr.Kimble, I need to go to the bathroom.'"

 

Looks left, looks right.

Makes an impression of a child dying to go to the toilet: Rock's head left and right, eyes closed, hands on private area.

 

{Frame 200-250}

 

"Nothing!"

 

Brings hands together with angry face, then pulls them away quickly with an unsure look to gesture the word.

 

{Frame 250-300}

 

"There is no bathroom!"

 

Camera zooms out to show he is talking to some Lion cubs.

You only see the backs of the lions, wagging their tails.

He stands tall and beats his puffed out chest in 3 quick motions to drive home his final point.

 

 

{END}

 

The most difficult part of the scene will be frame 50-125. Arnold speaks very fast and this could be very challenging to animate. I was considering changing the camera angle to show one of the lion cubs listening with their cute puppy-dog eyes so you wouldn't see my characters lips moving.

*Suggestion from Jason: He could put his head down or look away while he spoke to conceal the difficult lip sync*

 

Note to self: Most people gesture what they want to say before they say it.
