Lip sync practice

[j0llyr0ger]

Hello, everybody. I've been fooling with Anime Studio Pro since it was Moho, but with most of my hobbies I get into it for a while, then back out, then back in again.

The other night I got back into 2d animation.

The whim overtook me to make a cartoon and the only idea that hit me as feasible to make in one night (I stayed up till three am, but I didn't start till 11:30 pm) was an old Three Stooges routine.

I just wanted to practice some lip synching. I've used papagayo before, but wanted to see how quickly and easily I could use point animation to just move shapes around over the sound track. I think I was successful.

Sure, there are some flaws, but the lip synch turned out pretty well. Better for the blue guy than for the green mohawk guy, but that's mainly because straight profile mouth positions are hard and by the time I got to him it was late and I was too tired to fool with it a great deal.

Here it is, rough, unpolished, and produced in just a few hours from initial conception to rendered video:

I hope you find some enjoyment from it.

Yeah I think you were successful too. The lip synching looked good to me.
