Re: Favorite Part of a Shrinking Sequence?

Kinda playing on the realization moment, one of the all time great SW video moments occurs at the beginning of Red Parrots Office Politics.

When, the girl in the blue dress first gets covered with the shrink powder, her reaction is priceless. She gasps, wide eyed, probably instantly realizing what's about to happen to her.

Theres a great sound effect as the powder starts to instantly work (I cant describe it, but it sounds like a balloon being rubbed).

Then, she sneezes, and shrinks in mid sneeze, a genius effect focusing on her breasts falling into her now oversized dress and bra.

The sneeze / shrink brings the reality of her situation to her, and all she can utter is "shit" as her rings fall off, and she begins to slowly shrink.

Of course, a great sequence follows, seeing her shrink out of her clothes and declare as her voice gets higher "this cant be happening" and "what am I gonna do" until she's a mere six inches tall.

But that initial gasp, followed by the sneeze / shrink is why RP is so revered.
