Lip sync using video/audio reference. On this exercise I worked with a partner, and had to translate her voice into animation. Helpfully, we could record our partner and studio record their voice to overlay on top of the animation file. I experienced some struggle working with my partner, as she appeared to be very shy in front of the camera, and thus she instinctively spoke at a very fast pace (her native language is Chinese) . This caused a problem for a lip sync because I couldn’t fit so many mouth shapes in a small time frame. This exercise turned out to be a very messy business for me but eventually it sorta worked out.
