Lip-Sync Central - Ann Marie Raynes and members of the Perlin Players
Chances are that if you have ever tried to animate a character you would understand how important it is to make it move and sing. Lip-Syncing is the art of taking a pre-recorded track and making a character appear to speak or sing it. This involves figuring out the timing of the speech as well as the actual animating of the lips/mouth. In addition, making the actual setup needed, such as costumes and instruments, are also considered as part of the entire lip-sync process. These sessions will give an overview of the complete process while focusing on specific areas. It will be general enough so that you can take away what you learn to have a basic grasp of lip-syncing.
