Lip Sync from side

[FlashKid]

I finally figured lip syncing out from the side view.
I used a combination of motion and shape tweens. It worked out good.
Once I lip synced it I put the 20 layers for the face into one graphic and was able to move it around easily and it would still stay in sync with the _root sound file.

The trick was moving the lips in the right dirrection and not putting them too close together so it wouldn't get confused and make a big screwed up mess.

Yeah you can see from the layers that basicly the lips and the eye are shape tweened and the rest of the parts (writin in the layers) are basicly tweened.
Then I make a coloum of key frames for each of them then move them to the right spot for each mouth movement. Ehh, it's easier than it sounds, the hard part was setting it up, after that it's a brease to animate, infact I might make him say something constructive.

You could send me a sound file or something. heh just a thought

Once you've made the character it is actully pretty easy to lip sync it, just like using a suck puppet, then ,moving the teeth and tongue to go with it.
