I have a challenge. To work out how to do lip sync with free or almost free software. Im building my toolkit and so far i have:
Audacity
Papagayo
Gimp
Paintbrush
What i dont have is nice quality lego size mouths. I can google but i thought id ask the ppl in the know if there is a set of lego lips in the public domain that are ready to go? Anyone help? Thx.
AquaMorph Productions has a nice set of faces. They're in the creative commons, so you can use it with reference.
http://aquamorphproductions.com/category/faces/
Unfortunately there is no bmp/gif/jpg download of those faces. 
There is an ai file for Illustrator - which I assume is some software. The images on the web site have the mouths cut off so they can't be used. So close but.
Oh - wait - I can click each image and get the full picture!
You can download the guide and work from that.
MY friend told me years ago about a program called Magpie. I never used it.
I could convert the Ai files to PDF if you can hold off a week or two.
All sorted thanks. I downloaded each mouth individually as png and then resized and converted to jpg. By doing that, I can use it directly in papagayo. 
I just have to translate the papa mouths to the aquamorph mouths. For example, the "Wha" in papa is not the same as the "wha" in aquamorph. I'll have to do some simple picture comparisons, make a decision on best fit, rename the file name and then use the lego faces directly in Papagayo.
If I get this to work, would this be useful in the resources library - with credit given to all the right people?
