Hmmm...

Would a blind person who has been unable to see since birth move through 180 degree turn differently to someone who turned blind later on in life?

Kind of a random question, I know, but it does bear consideration for what I am doing. For example, someone used to seeing where they were going might lead the turn with their head, whereas someone to whom this had never made a difference might not, and simply keep it looking up/skewed sideways etc.

I was thinking about this yesterday as I was planning out a shot. I have to do this action a number of times I may just mix it up a bit anyway, but it's interesting to think about all this stuff, just to keep things in character.

Um... It is to me, anyway.

i know jamie foxx used glasses that made him blind when he was filming "ray." he said he gained a lot of insight into how the character would act by doing it (14 hours a day).

maybe 14 hours would be a bit too much, but you could try it and see what you learn...
