Lipsync Reblock

So I've decided I have no idea how I prefer to spell 'lipsync(h)'. I don't think it matters, but I would like to have a preference. Especially as I'm going to be teaching English in South Korea! My best friend and I got two job offers today! So much excitement. :D

On top of that, I got my THIRD A- in a ROW this week! Dana also mentioned me in the Q&A as one of the best assignments this week. She says my exaggeration is awesome. I am so happy.

She also said she's going to start grading us even harder, so that's good (in the long run at least :P).

Here's what I've done this week. Look out for next week's coming up soon!

Lipsynch Ahoy!

I am no longer leprous and I am back in the game! Woo!

The past two weeks have been all about our first dialog shot. First it was planning, with my three favorite clips from the last blog post, and then it was blocking and focusing on expressions.

Let me just preface this by saying.... I'm on my second A- in a row. Feels good, man. Especially with how much harder the grading is this term.

The work has also started taking twice the amount of time, possibly because there are twice as many controls. My body mechanics are really starting to come together, though, which is a great feeling.

Here we go!

Doing an animatic for these made blocking SOOO much easier. My mentor really appreciated it too.




And the blocking! Bishop was kinda tricky to work with, but it's still probably the best rig I've ever encountered.


And our expression studies:

Onwards and upwards! TO LIPSYNCH!

Here's my final playblast of my last assignment:




I like how it came out. There are still some things I can tweak here and there, but overall, I'm pleased with it.

This next week is planning for lipsynching! Our first dialogue shot. That will be due the last week of term. This really is a make it or break it kind of semester.

Here are the clips I'm choosing from:
