Lip Sync Animation

We began to study dialogue and the process of animating with it. 

I started by breaking down the dialogue and analyzing the diction. 

Doing some thumbnails for the character's look and behavior, I found Thelma.

I shot some video reference to help myself feel the character and her movements.

I started blocking out my scene. I didn't worry about matching the lip sync until the end because the poses should be able to tell the story by themselves.

Dialogue Blocking

I focused on cleaning up the poses and arcs of the body as well as blocking in the facial animation.

Then I began to clean the facial animation as well.
