Total Lip Sync: Masterclass for Feature Animation

It’s one thing to have beautiful weight and body mechanics, strong posing, and excellent acting choices, but nothing is more satisfying than truly feeling that the sound we hear is coming from the character in front of us—that every word, breath, shout, whimper and laugh is emanating from their very being. Even with everything else in place, if your lip sync falls flat, your shot may be technically strong but will never feel fully believable.

This class takes a holistic look at art and design, dialogue and language, intent and interpretation, drawing on 18 years of feature animation experience across 2D, 3D, and stop-motion. It culminates in animated dialogue tests and equips you with all the knowledge needed to create your own lip sync library to the standard of a high-quality feature film.
