This is just a 1 second test...It took 10 mins to make...Lip syncing isn't hard, but man does it take time...

Enjoy the random one second.

haha

O_o

You know you like it.

What made it funny for me was the fact that I'd just come off of Detty's thread called, "To think this is helping me get a degree."

Just to show more of why lip syncing takes so much time. Each frame has to match each letter.

Nice Van Halen T shirt

Yay! You win a cookie! It was supposed to be a green hoodie, like I always wear, but my friend told me to put the Van Halen stripes in there...so I did.

It doesn't take THAT long... I do lipsyncing in AMVs, and those are done frame by frame also. Those are actually more painful, since you have to find the frames of the person's mouth open and closed, and make sure nothing is moving. (Or if there is, crop it out.)

The guy looks awesome though

Thanks. I plan on giving him a REAL body soon. The main part of it is, I'm a very lazy man. If I want to make a full length animation with a real body, I would need to make side, back and front models, and I can't do that at the moment. So for now he has this Rayman look to it...well I have this rayman look to me... (It's me in cartoon form. Notice the huge nose.) I plan on making a short animation. Perhaps 2-3 mins long or so. I'll keep you guys updated. This was just a silly little test of mine.



Yeah but it's a pain. I don't know of any easier way to do it, but the way I do it now is I make a keyframe, insert one mouth, then do another keyframe and remove the mouth from the picture, then add another on top of that and put the new mouth in etc...

Doesn't look like there's be much room for cerebral matter in that there noggin. He has no forehead!

Nice lip synching though. :p

Duh, it's supposed to be me.

You're getting better!

It made me chuckle

I have about half of the lip syncing good, but the thing is I decided to make the movie at 20FPS, so it's going too fast for me to keep up with each word >.< I'll post when I fix the lipsyncing on this one.

You could just make a movie clip that moves between several mouth shapes randomly (not really, but make it long enough so the pattern doesn't become apparent too fast) if you're going to have a lot of talking...

I think it looks cool.

Something about the last part "This is a lip synching and walking test" doesnt look right to me. Are you basing the mouth on each letter?

He is... which isn't really the right way to do it.

You should sync by SYLLABLE. Think about the shapes your mouth makes when you say something, and then translate that to your little guy thing. :p
