Please, tell me what is your workflow: a big project with multiple scenes, several small file, one for screen ?
What software do you use for editing the movie?

Here's how I do it:

1. I set up the file with the backgrounds ect. 1 file for each peice of dialogue or action (usually about 30 files per scene).

2. I do all the lip syncing for each file and make sure it all works.

3. Then I (or one of my animators) animate the arms, head ect.

4. Then I import the finished animation into a movier editor called iMovie.

So for example, if I wanted Lucky Bob to say "what a nice day", cut to a far off view and have him walk away:

Animation 1: Dialogue

1. I'd put him on the proper background and save it as "animation 1" and start from frame 1.

2. I listen to the sound track and then animate the lips but nothing else. I then export it to quicktime and import it into iMovie where I line it up with the sound and make sure the lip syncing works.

3. Then I (or one of my animators) animate his arms and head and then I the final stuff into iMovie.

Let's say the animation ends at frame 10.

Animation 2: Walk away

1. I go to "project settings" then set it like this:
Start Frame: 10
End Frame: 0

2. I animate the walk.

3. Export to Quicktime then import into iMovie.

I hope this isn't too confusing. It's hard to explain over the internet.
If you have any questions just ask

What is Imovie?

I do like animation! Try to do some basic clip.
Interesting the tecnique to do the lip synch prior the rest.
I am not able (yet) to use papaya. Hope the next week .

Your work is funny, I have to learn how to draw with vectors and lips synch.
Another question: how many time your spend to do an full episode?
The first one, I mean , don't count the middleware.

1. Yeah, doing the lip sync first is very useful. Then if you get it wrong you don't have to animate the whole thing, arms and all, over again. I've never used Papaya. Maybe I'll download it today. It could come in useful for future projects...

2. Thanks

Glad you like it!
Let's see, a full 30 min movie is taking me about 4 months of work so far. But for each part it usually takes me about a week.
