Tarzan and Su has moved me.

Post by SpaceGhost2K » Sat Aug 27, 2005 7:29 pm

This is two parts:

Part One: I LOVE the Tarzan and Su AMV for "Love Hina."

Part Two: I LOVE the Waka Laka (for Osaka) AMV for "Azumanga Daioh," and because of it, Im been trying to find new DDR music to listen to.

Conclusion: I'm going to try to do a "Tarzan and Su" style AMV using Keitaro and Shinobu, to the music "My Butterfly (Where's My Samurai)"

Thing is, "Tarzan" relied totally on lip-synch and I don't have any of the programs to do that.

Any suggestions?

Actually, lip sync is possible, even if you only have Windows Movie Maker.

Basically, anime characters only have a few mouth positions. Opened, closed, and half-opened. So, even if you have something basic like WMM, you can take a "picture" of each of those positions - it's one of the options on the preview clip area - and use stills as a means of making the mouths move the way you want.

The lip may be a little bit jerky, but if you practice using motion + stills to make it more natural, then it should do the trick.

It's fairly basic, I think, but I haven't tried it myself, so I can't be sure.

There's also a method to help if you're working with motion within a clip, but I'm not sure, so you'd have to consult some guides on that one.

Does that help any? Hope so.

Oh, and you probably should have posted this in Software Help, but you'll likely get people who can help you here, too.
