Further animation

I had the first half of my animation complete, apart from a few tweaks that were needed. All that was left was the second half. I needed for it to be in the same vein as the first half, but different actions. Not just simple sighs and face in hand actions.

Then I considered, what about a reaction?

Perhaps, as dark as the prison cell was, it could get darker, and he would react to it in a surprised manner. By darker I mean, maybe the correctional officer shouts "lights out!", then they fade out. As if the situation couldn't get worse for the character.

Other than looking nice, and being a nice outline of my understanding of lighting and its setting, it could suggest that this is the character's first night in prison. His surprised reaction would indicate that.
