lip synch

Lip Synch elective

For this elective, we were given 7 example audios to choose from and were told to animate 2D characters lipsynching to one of these audios. we could also choose our own audio.

I chose the second example audio we were given:

After choosing the audio I came up with an idea of the characters I wanted to animate by putting together a Spidergram for the main character

Then I made rough mood boards of the characters I wanted to animate

I then refined these mood boards to create these ones:

Then I created the rough sketches and final turnarounds of how I wanted them to look like and interact with each other

After getting some advice from my tutors, here are the storyboards I came up with:

I broke down the sound transcripts and created x files of how many frames I would need for the lipsync and different mouth shapes for the characters

I created backgrounds for each scene I was incorporating

I drew out the keyframes and my animatic was finalised:

I then drew out the in-betweens and colourised them. here is the final animation:
