Before beginning my lip sync project I looked at some videos for tips and guidance on how to get started. I’ve never done a lip sync animation before so it was a new learning experience for me.
I had some fun making a rough animation at the beginning of the project just with character dialogue from the video game Disco Elysium.
Character Design
Experimenting and getting the feel for the character. Wanted a fun girl design someone you would see at a club or bar.
Rough Animation
Just planning out her movements and given feedback I was told to fix her mouth movement’s as it looks like it was flapping up and down with no closing her mouth in-between.
Fixing the Head and Mouth
After the feedback I went and fixed her head.
Clean up and Finished Animation
Overall this assignment was fun and I had a great time doing my first lip sync animation. I have definitely learnt a lot and I have more to learn. I found it difficult to get the mouth to copy what the voice was saying and felt like it could of used more work. Also to body movement needs more lines or motion and arcs. I will definitely look back at this again and make improvements. I could try using another audio clip and go from there.
