Improvisation

When we prepare improvised material we appreciate actors who have a hyper awareness of sound, rhythm and pauses. Sebastien brought much credibility to his casting and his improvisation was accurate and very subtle. The dialogues of a communication professor came as a second nature even when he created them in full action. He spoiled us with a full set of felt glances, undoubtedly a result of all the time devoted to post-production.
