Early stage:

References and block out sketch:

I immediately knew what audio I wanted to work on, a cut scene of Arthur Morgan from an early stage of the game red dead redemption 2, but I tried to have a look at other things I could do, but I was happy with that initial audio I chose. My references mainly consisted of looking at the reference sheet for the letters and their mouth shapes, the animation the audio is from and mostly my own video of myself acting out what I wanted my character to do in theory, but I made a few changes accordingly to how I naturally would have behaved in an angry scenario my character was supposedly in.

This is a screenshot of the video I filmed of myself acting out the characters action.

This is the video my audio is from:

I picked out the 8 seconds I wanted to work on, I then planned the actions roughly, I added some details like the hand movements I wanted the character to do or if there were pointing or had their hand in a fist. From that point I took advice from the class exercises we did and wrote down the audio so I could see where all my vowels were and the letter of the word where pressure was put on for example the word friends in the first sentence.

I did struggle with the lip sync, though the class exercise with the rain rig was a good warm up to the upcoming animation I planned for myself.
