Lip Syncing

Postby JazzyDJ » Sun May 27, 2007 2:31 am

I've seen some of the lip syncing videos and I'm amazed at how precise the flaps are to fit the lyrics of the song. So my question was, how exactly do people edit the footage to so precisely match the sylible of the word?

I mean the actual footage is going to be wording something totally different and big mistery to me. I have seen people mention that they use markers for each sylible, but still... how would you make the flaps fit the sylible?

You bribe the original animators to quickly draw some stills of them saying what you want. The videos where the lipsync looks bad just didn't slip the original animators enough money.

For the record the video I was watching that inspired this thread was "Spirit Never Dies".

I highly recommend some sort of small hand-mirror and watching yourself say or sing the words in question to get a good idea of when the mouth is open, partially open, or closed (which is usually the only three frames most anime will give you to work with for lip syncing).
