I went in search of references and a bit more information before starting block out for my mouth — I also watched Sarah and Alec’s tutorials again, to try and get an idea of what I wanted to do — I realised that I needed to pay more attention to the movement of the characters before prioritising the lip syncs. I’m happy with the beginning expressions but I’m finding it difficult when I hit the ‘office drone’ portion of my animation.
I also used some references of old toy robots, as when Gigabyte enters the second section of his monologue, the “we are office drones portion” I wanted to have him transform/transition into something stiffer, more robotic, because he is mimicking a robot/mocking a robot when in reality he has fluid movements and is life like, his personality is playful and silly, so I hoped that this would convey that.
