 Alrighty, let's play the whole thing. All right, let's see So let's take a look at I will look at the jaw and the main expressions for your face So That's a lovely accent you have the biggest one is that half is missing Meaning when he says half and not half of your stuff. Let me scrubbing here So half at that point should have a little jaw move here And the New Jersey seems too too soon You have the new and he doesn't say it yet And at this point Jersey That's also non-existent there. Oh, it's also way way too early Let me check and open this in a different program here. All right, it's gonna reopen this in VLC here But you can see how that half is lia is too soon as well To that half nothing's going on. It's too soon there. It's too soon there too. So It may be in this program. It's a couple frames even sooner, but I don't know for sure It's it's not in sync. So the main thing I would look at. Hold on Funny enough the well then is actually pretty good. Well, then But what's missing is for instance, if you do well then For the end shape you want at least a tongue up there, but you could definitely close them out more But in your case, let me turn the scrubbing off again Well, then like you never close the mouth Good day mate Again too soon And even on mate, it's like your shape is more like a smile, but it doesn't have the lip roll in for mate So what I would do in this case was you asked me about lip sync What I would do is do your classic thing of putting your jaw Your face under the jaw and then say the line and then you can feel where the big accents are That's very silly But you will see okay at what point I really really need to open a jaw and what can I do with just shapes and not jaw movement But then the biggest thing after that is that it has to be in sync You so you can go into Maya and you can see in your Timeline the waveform and it's not like you want to sync it right there It's it's not going to be perfectly synced you want to go just a bit earlier and on your big accents Have at least on half. It's a soft on half. You can still open the jaw, but the fact that That it's so late It's to me the biggest thing you need to address you need to look at okay When are the big accents and then you can go into the bigger The e and the ooh so the extremes of in-and-outs of your mouth just to hit those big moments And then your F and mm. So like in your case here Good day, mate M you definitely want to have your M closed and you want your F and M at least close for two frames so that it doesn't feel like a pop and For like a bigger a bigger Fleshy type of feel you can do your M and Then as you open the jaw you still have the lips closed. So you have May so I don't if you can see this May It's where the jaw goes down But the lips are still closed and then you open for mates and this could be you know again over minimum of two frames Do have tongue action in there that sounds kind of weird but that Right now it feels more like it's kind of behind the teeth and you want to make sure that it hits the front part of the teeth And you can look at when he says that first line To me accent is a bigger thing in terms of a shape change. So he could say that's a lovely accent you have So that's a lovely where your shapes are are fairly contained within kind of a small circle And then this is more that's a lovely accent and on accent you can really whiten any kind of offset for asymmetry But you can do that at the very end But I would definitely have a wider shape for accent so that it doesn't all feel like it's just kind of the jaw Clacking up and down so you want to look at your two big moments of when can you really expand the shapes? Accent you have and then you have you can go back in Because right now it's just so late. There's nothing going on in this section Technically like I would still hit this obviously when it's supposed to but there's nothing wrong with Shaping and getting into the shapes before the line happens. So you could go New Jersey because he's kind of he's thinking it and he wants to say it But he just he just makes the sounds later. So you can still have a New Jersey, but at least in New Jersey has to be timed correctly It's just way too soon Jersey Jersey and again New Jersey and on E you could this one I could you could hold it's Jersey and he stays in that position And then when he hears Austria, he can relax that shape and go so it's basically New Jersey and he holds then Austria and then you can go from a wide to a circular and more a smaller shape for contrast And you can start shaping in here already where he goes Austria so you can have an open mouth to kind of you know make that surprise face Austria and then you can that way you could I would keep those shapes closer together Austria is more than Austria and then haha that way again you go from a more narrow to wider shape or contrast Yeah, so she that sound the huh will be a bit of a bigger shape out of The corners and right now it all feels like it's all the same. So you are asking in the email I don't know if it's so early to work on a lip sync I mean you can always do a lip sync at the very ends Some people do the very beginning I kind of go back and forth a lot of times at the beginning But the main thing you want to do and this is just for your early blocking It's also going to help you with head accents So if he goes Austria and he has that a big jaw move that would kind of tie into her head accent so see how you have The jaw going down and then the head going into it's Austria like that instead of Austria so that the jaw leads and then two three frames later the head goes down with it So you definitely want to go into rough Lip sync blocking so that you know where your jaw accents are because those are going to affect the head animation as well Good day mate. So same thing here Good day would still be a narrow one narrow in terms of how far your extremes go Good day mate and a mate you can go back out and again asymmetry you would favor one corner and you can probably I would probably leave him in this angle towards her While he do a bit of a move so could be mate and then he come back a bit kind of rest within This area it's good name mate and then you can end it with this corner not as far and this this one Definitely wider for you asymmetry. I would favor this side because we see this side more Good day mate Good day mate And you can leave kind of like a pirate mouth good day mate And leave that mouth open towards the end But as a whole what I would do is really look at your jaw up and down when that's supposed to happen And right now everything is too soon except one section here The well then that seems okay, but before that and after it's way too early. So look at your timeline When those extremes happen that's that's already a good guide And then look at your extremes of you're in and out. So it's not always the same shape You want to look at when can I when I when can I have contrast in my mouth shapes so that it doesn't feel Like he's just kind of stuck in one You know facial acting modes and then you just have kind of a jaw up and down to You know to add lip sync to it. So look at this. Could they mate all those moments where you can go from a small to a bigger mouth shape? Uh, you do also mention It pushed ahead on the first part and the last when that's a lovely accent you have a good day mate That's a lovely accent you have That's a lovely accent you have again for for me the head accent is too late That's a lovely accent you that's a lovely accent you end up a much I would say two three frames when he goes Lovely accent you accent So ah that's when the jaw will go down and two three frames later the head will go down lovely accent you have And it's really tiny. It's really just a frame or two on when this goes down, but it does feel a bit late That's a lovely accent you have But then you have you can bring it up a bit You have just go see might say you have and then go back a bit New jersey and then you can go forward, right? It's an accent you have New jersey and then you go forward New jersey And I'll be careful. You're starting to have him drift. Let me take these audios coming off You have a little bit of a drift this side and I would too I will continue to go this way because that's the lean in because he wants to know what what it's going to be And then only on austria is when he goes back you go back a bit too soon And I would delay the blink by maybe two frames. He doesn't seem to be too bright Uh, clearly so that when when he hears the information to me the blink of him going and processing what he just heard I would just delay that a bit to kind of give it a bit of a You know a bit of an accent on on that. He's a bit of a slow thinker so Yeah, I think the biggest thing would be um, look at your jaw and look at when those accents are when it happens So that you can really get more in sync with it and then we can look at the shapes and how we can tie that together and also Actually, I've never animated this rake. So once you go into more detail work I mean this austria. Oh when he pulls that jaw down look at if you have Narshal shapes that you can pull down as well and a bit of a Nose tip as well and how far you can push the cheeks. So when the uh, the jaw goes down You want to pull those shapes down and then could they Made a made as this whole process you want to bring up the cheeks a bit You want to do a bit of a compression in the face So I'm not sure what that rake does, but that's something else that you can start to look at as you go into more uh lip sync New jersey There's something about I don't know that's in the rake, but there's something about not really seeing the the lower teeth for so long Haha Like usually, I don't know if you want to bring up you haven't controlled to bring up the teeth Or you sort of dial down the shapes a bit lower, but Um, you could then she just try it with the teeth Even here they never really together. I don't know. I don't know. I'm not sure how that rake works But there's just something about barely seeing the teeth here and then no teeth down here Well, then so you have it hoping you want to see just a bit more just a tap more So it doesn't feel like it's just this this toothless person here Good day, mate. That's a lovely accent you have New jersey I think the hands look better. That's a lovely accent you have So no, you you were working on ik stuff new jersey But careful you still have if you scrub through you can still see how you have some drifting and the fingers and the wrists Even this here This feels better how the wrist follows the forearm But it just aids very slow you want to just Have a bit more movement through there and then a bit faster through there and as you do this faster move The fingers can change where they'll be there might be like this and then tighten up a little bit So you have to look at if if you go austria like that That expression that realization and how he says that that might tighten the muscles a bit and you can see that in the fingers And then on ha ha he might relax because he's laughing and then you can relax the fingers again So that's kind of that detail work you could put in there And on this I don't know this is picky, but I will bring that Pinky that pinky that uh index finger just a bit straighter It's basically the The index is more like that and then your middle finger starts to be a bit more and then your ring finger And then you're pinky i'm exaggerating, but that way you have a bit of a Uh a bit of a pose like that. Where's my can you see me? You can't really see it But you don't really want to have the index curl as well. It kind of gives you it's a bit of a claw um like pose versus kind of extending kind of relaxing the fingers a bit more like that, so I will bring out the base of that index and bring that For the down here and then you can see the middle finger behind there And then the rest curling in because he is very relaxed at this point given this pose So you can kind of push that more in the fingers. It's just a bit of a weird pose there And then watch out in your good day, mate It's definitely pushing it's good But it feels like there's a lot of it coming from this upper joint there on the neck and not really the lower part Where he could be That's a bit more of a Like a little arc forward that comes out of that lower part of the neck as well And if you add that you can have a little bit of movement in the chest as well. So it all feels connected All right, I'm gonna leave it at that again look at specifically Your jaw movement so that it is in sync with the audio so that it really hits those accents when it's supposed to Because right now everything just feels way too early except that that little section through there And then the end is also a bit too early, but the beginning for sure is way too early.
