So last week I tried moaning every time I ate something delicious.

It was vaguely uncomfortable and unnatural

Mr. Darcy: Ah, congratulations, Miss Elizabeth. I see you’re on time today.

Elizabeth Bennet: So sorry to disappoint you.

Mr. Darcy: Oh, but I’m not disappointed, far from it. Merely surprised.

Both Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy: [fake laugh]

Jane Bennet: They always argue, why is that?

Mrs. Gardiner: Well it’s a simple chemical reaction, you see, when two people like each other very much-

Jane Bennet: They like each other?

Mrs. Gardiner: Well, I think so.

Jane Bennet: They like each other very much? Well, don’t you think we should tell them?

Mrs. Gardiner: They’d never believe us.

Update: teacher told us to give the ball a face. Plus lines of movement

Hello 

I am at animation class  right now, se here’s what we’re doing

Stuff I did for illustration class (work in progress)

For class

Doggies drawings!

Ah, I see. Thank you for your honesty. Please, take as much as you need. There will be enough for everyone.

A change of scenery. Simple, but marvelous.

A glimpse into your future, for you brave souls! (Divination is tricky business, tread carefully my dear!)

Knowledge from the universe, eh? Perhaps this will be of interest to you.

Rest for the weary, right this way. It's a personal favourite of mine.

A home-cooked meal you say? I like how you think! A labour of love worth savoring (and sharing with friends!)

For something to pass the time, try looking here, or if that doesn't hit the spot, here.

Seeking adventure to a far-off place? I know a way to get you there.

✨

I hope you found what you were looking for!

I know, my friend. It hurts. But'll remember him properly, like you said, as a bright star.

The brightest start still shines

Why is this whole situation so ironic? I mean why music can heal the people who listen to it, and why it doesn’t have that power on the musician who make it. The last person who died was Kim Jong Hyun, the one who inspire me to write this whole thing.  I receive the notice when I was on the bus on my way home and since then I can stop crying. He has committed suicide. He had depression and after some time he died. His case hit me real hard, I have been a ‘’real’’ kpop fan since this February and I have also have depression. It’s hard to deal with it. You truly pretend to be the happiest person on this world on the exterior. To make the ones around you believe it, to not make them notice how you feel because if they do you suddenly feel more like a burden than you already do it before. But inside of your brain all things change, you feel like and absolute shit and you only think that the only thing you do is feeling that you don’t matter to anyone even to yourself. But back to the real thing, he was one of the best singers that Korea has had, part of one of the most famous and successful gups that the kpop industry has have, one person whose smile could light up your day, who was a little dork, in conclusion, he made you love him. You may think. Why does he died? he got everything that he wants. But you’re missing something he got all his life ahead. He has only 27. Yes, the cursed number. Another one to join the 27 club, with many others as Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones, Jim Morrison… and many others. I still refuse to believe that he is gone now, I have been listening him all day, sobbing. Lying to myself, to make me believe that he isn’t gone for ever. Finally, my sincere condolence to his family, his friends, to Shinee, to all his SM level mates, and to all the Shawols.  Let’s not forget that mental illness isn’t a joke, they are real, and we must fight TOGETHER   against them. You are not alone, we aren’t alone. Let’s remember him as the bright star he was. Rest in peace sweetheart.

🎄 it’s that time of the year 🎄

The lip sync tutorial they DON’T give you

I mentioned on twitter that I wanted to do a lip sync tutorial and immediately got some people who were interested so I put one together real quick!

I’m going to use a bit of unfinished lip sync from my taz animated part as reference. They’re just gifs so no sound, but you should still be able to tell that he’s saying “I’d say a solid B… Solid B minus.”

Anyone who’s looked up how to do lip sync has seen phoneme charts. Phonemes are just the shape your mouth makes when you make certain sounds.

When you do lip sync, you want some kind of reference to make sure it’s right

What’s easiest is to say it yourself and pay attention to the shapes your mouth is making. Since you’re going frame by frame, your audio is slow enough that you can make each shape slowly and distinctly and you can get each individual phoneme down in the animation.

Don’t do this.^

An easy way to tell if you’re animating lip sync wrong is if you run out of frames to make each shape. You don’t need them! Making each shape is unnatural. People talk quickly and the mouth doesn’t have the time to get into each shape. They blend together, sometimes to the point where the shape doesn’t change at all!

Not only does the 2nd gif take less frames and energy to make, it’s more relaxed, it looks less distracting, and his lips are much easier to read!

These are reference charts to show the differences more clearly

This is the difference between getting swallowed up in every last detail and paying attention to reality.

What matters more than hitting every syllable is making it look natural and flow with the acting. That’s why anime mouth flaps can work so well. A strong pose through the whole body matters more than one mouth shape.
