How to use nuance in a sentence?

  1. Erik Davis:

  2. Adam Valdez:

    We do a lot of painstaking research into how real animals move, how their muscles and skin behave ... and then in the computer, we recreate all these things, an artist, like an animator, has to sit down and actually hand animate that eye, hand animate that face so that every little subtle nuance is represented.

  3. Joanna Schroeder:

  4. Tim Young:

    Chris Harrison stepped aside and allowed Chris Harrison to be canceled by it. Chris Harrison shouldn't have, chris Harrison should have forced them to fire Chris Harrison publicly and make a statement about it and then fight back against it. But instead Chris Harrison's OK with being canceled for pointing out a nuance of cancel culture, not for supporting what this woman did. That's the most ridiculous part of the whole thing.

  5. Han Tan:

    Global investors have had their emotions toyed with amidst the ever-shifting sands of the U.S.-China trade conflict, market nerves have been left raw, with the delicate sentiment prompting knee-jerk reactions to every nuance pertaining to the highly unpredictable U.S.-China trade impasse.
