1st lip sync...
-
09 Sep 2007Hey again!
This was my first attempt at lip syncing, it was also for my advanced animation class. The clip I used was from the movie Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls..

It took me around 5 hours to do. The model/rig is from the stop staring book by Jason Osipa.
C & C welcome. -
09 Sep 2007Woot awesome man.
Your blinks seem too slow. If you're feeling ambitious try altering the blinks to something like:
open -----> 2/3 open -----> closed -----> closed -----> 2/3 closed -----> open
Each one of those being 1 frame. So the entire blink is done in 6 frames or so.
I'd probably have him blink on his first head turn to screen right, and maybe have his eyes dart there instead of being over there the entire time. Same thing a little bit after, you've got a couple of big head turns with no blinks. Just nit picky stuff. Nothing kills a good monologue like a distracting face.
The mouth shapes look good man, I'm no master of mouths but nothing stands out as off to me. Just the eyes. -
Escelce 37 posts09 Sep 2007Great animation OutlawJoe. Apart from the eyes as JayG mentioned the only thing I'd edit slightly would be the very last part where he says "The fingerprints of scum". The reason is the line is very dramatic and also the joke line so I'd make the expression a little more dramatic and in keeping with how he says it. Maybe wide eyes at the end and a more pronounced mouth expression. He looks very relaxed through-out even though his tone and level changes drastically. Thats it though. Great work.

09 Sep 2007Fee Figh Foe Fumb was tops... nice little sneers at the end of Fee and the antic of Fumb (the antic before Fumb was just a little too quick IMO, the lips kinda snap up into shape). 'I smell' seemed a little off to me ( I think it's the mouth shape around the 'eh' phoneme - it needs to be stretched out a little wider as it looks more like an A or I rather than an EH. After that it all just goes on a little too quickly, too much head movement to read it. Tone that down some I'd say, since it's a lip sync exercise.
How was the head rig to animate with? I'm more of an attribute man, rather than nurb sliders. -
10 Sep 2007Again, thanks for the crit.
The head rig was decent to animate. Some of it could be tweaked a bit and made more user friendly. For example it's hard to get a tight O shape, you have to dig through the Outliner to blink the eyes and move the head etc. However, our teacher provided this version to us (which I think he used the rig from the first edition of stop staring) so maybe in the second edition the rig is a bit better...
