Scared Crazy Hands
There are a lot of great hand shots in this episode. I haven't included the ones with the penknife where he's peeling the window film, 'cos I'm not at all convinced they are the Fine Hands of Perfection, but are rather the stunt claws.
My 'test' now is that they seem to 'stay' with Vincent when they ARE his hands (the camera will pan to show they're attached to his arms!) and if this doesn't happen they're 'suspect' - although since the 'stunt claws' look nothing LIKE Vincent's hands, they're quite easy to spot ;0)
JoJo, I think it's a case of needing a shot with the hands in, but not wanting to "waste" the star's time by bringing him back just for a hand shot. It probably happens a lot with other actors, and no one ever notices, but Vincent has such gorgeous hands,how could anyone ever be deceived?
I wish I could think of something intelligent to say, but the sight of those hands..over and over..has wiped any sign of intelligence from my brain :-D
Yes, Val, perfection is definitely the word of choice here! Breathtaking post!

ReplyDeleteHis hands (as well as his face) are so beautifully expressive and fascinating!!
ReplyDeleteHe does have great hands. But I wonder why they would need to use stunt claws for close ups. That makes no sense to me.

ReplyDeleteVal,i agree.one of the many things i have always noticed about him,are those beautiful hands of his.*sigh*
ReplyDeleteIt still amazes me that such a big man can have such delicate hands..

ReplyDeleteThere's no mistaking those thumbs.
ReplyDeleteOh Baby!
I'm still laughing hysterically at the term "stunt claws!"
ReplyDeleteLovely long fingers! I love them!!!
ReplyDeleteStunt Claws! I love it! Or, actually I don't love them, just the term. I do love V's big, long-fingered hands.
ReplyDeleteYou DO know what they say about thumbs, don't you, Bev? (Gotta go, getting awfully hot in here) :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes I do Ducky, but it's his thumbs I'm curious about. I've heard they work magic! LOL
ReplyDeletei think i'm still thinking about the last commando post i read. really nice work, Val, really nice.
ReplyDeletehis face is so cute in the slideshow when he's playing with his eye/ temple area. it makes me smile SO BIG. really BIG.
