SAURON - The Lord of The Rings
DoctorStopMo:
Hey, just wanted to say that this was pretty good stuff. Things I really liked: the model for the face is really good. The lips move convincingly. Things I didn't like: The overall pacing was very slow. The dialogue felt like it was being read way too slowly.
Things that could use some improvement: I think the best way to do facial animation and lip synching is to record what you want to say first. Then you try and get the lip movements to match the sounds. For the actual animation, I don't know if you were using bones or if you were using morph targets, but I'd think that morph targets are by far the best way to go. You can create a dozen or so lip morphs that should cover almost all the sounds you need to make, and then set yourself to the task of matching the morph targets to the pre-recorded sound. Hope that helps :).

Awesome stuff - Keep it up!
What would help a lot, have a way to import a wave file and time it with the animation. Also to have the choice to make the time line by the second or by BPM for music.

Hey Paul, sorry I lost track and forgot to follow up on the "proof-reader" thing... the main thing I recall right off was in the beginning, where the words read:
"A loyal servant he remained
untill the very end…"
"untill" should be "until" (one "l").
pscheunemann:
DoctorStopmo, I do have to work on the time-pace, that is an usual flaw on my videos!...
*Arik, not to worry, someone gave me the heads up, on the double "ll" "untill"...thanks anyway!
cheers!
DoctorStopMo:
I think there might be a program that can help with morph targets for lip synch. I haven't tried it myself, but I saw it in the General forum - Papaga8or. Could be worth checking out :). Good luck!
