first lip-sync test
by sven at 2:28 pm
Here's my first true lip-sync test. Notes:
- I shot 15fps. The "o" in "Ichbonnsen" is jarring to my eye... Does it come in too soon? Did I need another inbetween in order to get to that shape? Is it just holding still for too long? (The "i" in "lives" is also a bit off -- but not as badly.)
- The stickers' corners want to pop up, and they cast shadows. Grrrr.
- It's hard to keep the head perfectly in place when you're trying to press stickers onto it.
- I thought I'd be clever and put the stickers on a piece of clear acetate, sitting on top of a photocopy of the mouth forms -- making it easy to select what I want to use. It turns out, though, that the stickers adhere rather well to acetate. I'll have to try semi-translucent wax paper next.
- I bumped one of the clip lamps. The placement of the one on the right, at least, is going to have to be re-thunk.
- the camera was very slowly leaning forward during the shoot. I must not have locked off the head tightly enough.
