Picture of the lip poses

Recommended Posts

Hello - my little boy broke my manuel into 2 halfes, then that turned into 3 - and the part missing is chapter 12 the pic of the 9 lip poses. Is there anywhere online of a pic of that page that shows an illustration of the poses. I see the video manual, but it doesn't show that page? Thanks - Eric

You can retrieve your entire manual in pdf form from:

The lip poses are on p147 of TaoA:M.

 

And more pics:

If you have Stop Staring by Jason Osipa, then he does lipsync differently - (I have read about it, but not done it).

 

Here's a sample chapter, not lipsync, but eyes, which I guess is part of lipsync too.

Historical note of interest:

 

If you follow Caroline's links/suggestions you'll find three names of significance demonstrating their knowledge of lip sync. All cut their teeth lipsyncing in Animation:Master.

Another thought to consider when lipsyncing:

Don't neglect to use the eyes/eye brows and body posture/poses to help convey what the character is saying. In some cases you may find you need to use very little lipsync at all.

 

The classic example is the Muppets (and puppetry in general). Few would claim the lipsync with such characters is realistic or particularly articulate yet audiences easily get the message and never complain. I've yet to hear anyone say concerning the Muppets... "Yuck! Just look at that bad lipsync".
