Dialogue: 0,0:08:15.23,0:08:20.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,big payoff so then the prosecutor asks

Dialogue: 0,0:08:49.67,0:08:53.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,difference in his animation during the

Dialogue: 0,0:08:58.12,0:09:03.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and his mouth flaps the speed of his

Dialogue: 0,0:09:03.13,0:09:07.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,beautifully just standing there idle his

Dialogue: 0,0:09:07.30,0:09:11.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,intervals but when he's talking that
Dialogue: 0,0:09:09.28,0:09:13.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,animation speeds up so that the drawing
Dialogue: 0,0:09:11.05,0:09:15.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cycle every 15 frames or so which makes
Dialogue: 0,0:09:13.51,0:09:17.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,him feel a little more active on screen
Dialogue: 0,0:09:15.31,0:09:19.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I love this little efficiency the

Dialogue: 0,0:09:21.73,0:09:25.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,here without having to add any new art
Dialogue: 0,0:09:23.80,0:09:27.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we're gonna see them play with that
Dialogue: 0,0:09:25.30,0:09:29.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,timing a lot more in a second so Frank
Dialogue: 0,0:09:27.52,0:09:32.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gives his testimony and wait a minute we
Dialogue: 0,0:09:29.92,0:09:32.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,find an inconsistency when we call him
Dialogue: 0,0:09:32.02,0:09:34.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on it

Dialogue: 0,0:09:34.72,0:09:38.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's very similar to the first one
Dialogue: 0,0:09:36.85,0:09:41.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in fact I think the body animation might
Dialogue: 0,0:09:38.92,0:09:43.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,be identical which again hey efficient

Dialogue: 0,0:10:09.22,0:10:13.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hole and he reverts to that original
Dialogue: 0,0:10:10.93,0:10:16.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,smarmy grin but then he gives revised
Dialogue: 0,0:10:13.51,0:10:18.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,testimony and aha another contradiction
