Over the last 2 days of class, we began our Lip Sync project. For this project we are working on animating a scene where our character is actually talking. with the input of an audio file.

We learned about the different phonemes, that go along with human speech. AEIOU and the vowels that are used in everyday human language.

The plan is to use this concept to give the illusion of our character having a moving mouth.

Attached is a sample Phoneme. To make this project quick and efficient we will be making use of motion and graphic tweens. The professor told us we will be drawing a mouth, on our specific character, convert it into a graphic symbol. And draw the rest of the natural mouth movements.

Long story short, its an extensive project. Stay tuned.
