The rig they provided is a raccoon,and they also gave me a soundtrack to work with
Soundtrack translation:
Hey, eh… I came down to earth on behalf of Kunlun Mountains, eh.. Also need to pay attention to the appearance, right? Hey? ! How did you turn into a crane?
First of all, I have analyzed his voice of tone. It’s can be sure he was in a very nervous situation, he could not even said a sentence with confidence and fluency. So what he said about the ‘came down to earth on behalf of Kunlun Mountains’ must be a lie.
Therefore, I had a rough idea of what the scene would look like: A poorly dressed man stood in front of the raccoon and asked him where he had come from. The guilty raccoon lied that he was an immortal from the Kunlun Mountains and told the man in front of him to pay attention to his appearance. But the man in front of him suddenly turned into a crane, and he was surprised. Then he knew, this person in front of him is the immortal.
His eyes look to elsewhere while he starts lying.
Keep talking without looking to the person in front of him.
Once he see the person become a cane, he got very astounded. He jumps back and the hat jumps high. I stretch his head a bit, also made his eyes and mouth bigger but not too far. Because I had to design his expressions and movements in a more Chinese way according to the requirement. Because comparing to western people, chinese people are relatively introverted, so this characteristic will affect to their movement and facial expression.
