Expressive Character Lip Sync: Animating Emotion and Body Language
https://www.skillshare.com/classes/Expressive-Character-Lip-Sync-Animating-Emotion-and-Body-Language/1082610995
This class is about Lip Sync in 2D animation! There is a lot more to the way we talk than just our lips flapping.
So I will teach you what to keep in mind when creating a character for animation, some insights into and basic knowledge about acting - and of course: how to synchronize the mouth of an animated character to a line of dialogue!
I recommend this class for intermediate students, but also for beginners who like a challenge. Why should I learn this stuff? A very legit question. 2D Animation in general will give you a better understanding of shapes in three dimensions. You will level up your art, and gain confidence in linework and gestures! Lip synching in particular is a fun way to for example send personalized messages to a dear friend, or create a unique digital invitation. You can use it in your own projects to dive deeper into the stories you are telling, and breathe life into your characters.
A first idea about 2D animation is of advantage, but not required. As I am working and showing everything digitally, you should be comfortable with this medium.
If you are new to animation and up for a challenge, don’t be shy and join in!
