(Download it, because the Media player stinks.)

I did this using After Effects. Any comments, questions, or recommendations are appreciated. My microphone is broken so I couldn't sync this to any audio, but he may be saying "Sure", I really don't know. Therefore, Microphone recommendations under 30 dollars are appreciated as well.

Re: Mouth Animation Test

Nope, it stills prompts me to log in or something.

Re: Mouth Animation Test

Okay, that should fix it.

Re: Mouth Animation Test

I downloaded it. That's really cool Real Brick. But maybe you could get a Youtube? It would make watching your videos easier.
(And plus, if that's a test,  I would love to see some solid projects because that was really good!) mini/smile

Re: Mouth Animation Test

Looks pretty good for a test. Animation was a bit slow, but other than that, it looked good.


Anyways, did you just manually animate it with the mask tool in after effects, or...?

Persist.

Re: Mouth Animation Test

I used the mask tool.

Re: Mouth Animation Test

Re: Mouth Animation Test

When will people stop telling me to get a Youtube?
I said I will get one as soon as I produce a movie.

Re: Mouth Animation Test

The animation was pretty choppy, but the actual mouth animation was good. It looked like he was saying "yo". mini/tongue

And I know how you feel about people asking you to get a YouTube. That happened to me a lot before I got one.

Re: Mouth Animation Test

I really don't know. I was actually trying to keep the minifigure still while animating, so the animation could have been better. I will make sure to find a better set of legs next time Just Kidden.

Re: Mouth Animation Test

Youtube makes it far easier for your work to bee seen and critiqued by people. You don't need a full film to create a Youtube account.

Re: Mouth Animation Test

Thanks, but I think I can wait.

Re: Mouth Animation Test

You do know you can make video Unlisted, this means you can upload them and only people with the Url can see them. So your account won't seem cluttered.

Re: Mouth Animation Test

Stop telling me to get a Youtube!

Re: Mouth Animation Test

CRICKET BAT FTW! mini/bigsmile

Anyways, the test was good. Though the mouth was too triangular IMO. Record yourself saying the lines (video) and rotoscope through it to see the changes in the mouths. mini/wink

Re: Mouth Animation Test

I know, this was more for my ability to animate a mouth, I do know how to rotoscope however.
