I’ve tried my hand at a bit of lip sync in the past and enjoyed it but I completely forgot how over-focused I become on the mouth shapes. I think I’m getting there gradually, and my personal lip sync (which I started after the assigned lip sync) seems to have better flow to it. It’s all practice practice practice I guess.

About 3/4 Finished
I’ve still got a little ways to go on the personal lip sync but I think it looks a little more natural than the former? Or maybe in cartoony designs like these it’s better to go for something less natural – it’s probably something I’ll tinker with when deadlines aren’t looming!
The next couple of weeks we’ll be helping the second years with their upcoming films, and I’ll be assisting producing pre-production material for a student. I’m looking forward to it, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I wasn’t a bit apprehensive!
