I had a nice idea. It’s not very radical, but I think it is worth trying, even though it requires some effort, as well as some knowledge about how to create new special effects.
So… I think that you all remember the scene where Anakin kills the younglings in Revenge of the Sith. Before Anakin kills the younglings, the camera focuses on his face for a second. Well, I was thinking that it would be nice to try to create the special effect of a tear falling from his eye and running down his cheek, just before the camera cuts to his lightsaber turning on.
Artificially inserting a tear on Anakin’s face at that precise moment would allow us to make it seem that he’s thinking something like: “I feel like crap. I don’t want to do this. But I have to…”
I think it’s worth trying.
