I am currently working on the lip sync to Ian and Darren from the shots 58-65. Its going well and finding it easier over time to pick out the necessary mouth movements for a set of speech and then the less important Visemes in-between. George was such a wonderful character action to animate and lip sync to. With his eye movement, lip sync and body I really tried to emphasise the quick confused state he was in as he wakes from a dream. It works well I think, with the only problem being the camera timing not working to well in the final animation. I would like to show all of Georges speech on screen framed in the camera, however to do this mean I would lose Darren’s turn back to Georges speech. Therefore it looks like Darren is ignoring him and staring at Ian instead. I will play with the camera shots latter to get the best views for the sequence, but so far I am quite happy with the progress.
