Lip Sync - Read My Lips
No matter what kind of animation you
do sooner or later you're going to have to break down the dialog
into syllables and figure out the correct position of the lips and
tongue to so the images will match the sound. FlipBook makes this
easy.
Some
animators like to write the alphabet letters into the frames where
they belong so they'll know which mouth drawing to use in each
frame. Others use a standard set of mouth drawings and position them
in the xsheet so they can see the lips move in sync with the dialog
as the scene plays. Either way, FlipBook makes it easy.
Start by scrubbing through the scene to find the first word you want
to breakdown. Then use the cursor keys to step back and forth
through the frames and syllables. As you determine which sound goes
into which frame you can either write the letter in the image window
so that it shows up in the xsheet like you see to the left or just
highlight a square in the xsheet and press an alphabet key on your
keyboard to insert one of FlipBook's standard mouth drawings into
that frame like you see on the right.
You can also drag any mouth drawing up or down to fine tune the
timing while the scene is playing by holding down the Alt Key while
you drag the thumbnail.
