Learning Objective for this session:
LO1: Work collaboratively to produce a Lip Sync animation.
LO1: Work collaboratively to produce a Lip Sync animation.
In Animation 'Lip Sync' is the process of fitting character mouth movements to pre-recorded dialogue.
One of the founding fathers of modern animation, Disney animator Preston Blair developed a system of ‘phoneme’ mouth shapes which could be used to create the appearance of speech.
Today we will be using a simplified version of the 'Preston Blair' system based on the shapes used by Nick Park (Aardman).
Task 1:
Work together to create a set of plasticine mouth shapes using the reference sheet provided.
Advice: As you make the shapes, place them on a sheet of paper, and write the corresponding phonemes below, take a reference photo when complete.
Task 2:
Use the Step by Step guide below to create your own short lip sync animation.
Task 3:
Upload the project file & exported movie to your G-drive - share the movie with me (jane.maxwell@wac.co.uk).
