Last one!

My First Lip Sync. We were given a dope sheet with a phrase mapped out for us to draw our keys with our own character design. We didn’t get to hear the sound until we’d line tested the drawings! Mine is a little bit off in places, as I haven’t adjusted it to the sound clip since watching it back.

There is also a bit too much eyebrow going on, cos you basically do a drawing for each vowel and consonant shape, then repeat the same drawings when the sound happens again. This meant when sounds happened closer together, the additional ‘acting’ gets a bit intense! It’s all learning tho, innit.

Since finishing the course, I’ve done no animation what so ever, which is rubbish. I’ve had loads of ideas, just not sat down and done it! I gotta sort that out and do something, else I’ll never get any better…
