Just wanted to share one of the few animators that really helped me along in the successful completion of my animation project: Lip-sync. His name is Dj Nicke. A lot of other tutorials were halfway decent on youtube, but i found myself more confused than helped on. But when i browsed and did research to find this Dope animator, my project really began to bloom and i began truly understanding what animation was about, and how to bring things to life,

The way he explained things in a simple matter truly helped me as an artist as well as an animator. The key point that he made that truly inspired me was when he said that: "A technique for animation that will help you pump out better animation, faster." "Nothing is that complicated when you break it down into easy steps." These amazing 4 steps were:
1) Foundation
2) Structure: You wouldn't detail a house without laying the slabs down first!
3) Details: Emotion. (Happy, angry, sad) make the animation more believable.
4) Polish: Real time is spent, adding in the personality, the real character. (mood of the character)
This helped me, not just with facial animation, but the overall structure of my animation.
