Thought Moments

Thought Moments (2004) is an anthropological short film in the style of cinéma vérité by Michael Simon Toon.

[3] The film is used in the study of microexpressions, eye accessing cues, and the universality of facial expressions.

[4] Toon (off camera) interviews a diverse sample of individuals in public places across the United Kingdom asking a set of ten simple but emotionally evocative questions.

"[7] Consistency of composition, lighting, and contrast facilitates the analysis of both the differences and similarities of the interviewees' facial expressions.

[8][9] Toon also released a version of the film with superimposed theoretical eye accessing cue chart.
