No, this unfortunately isn’t a post about the keystone Aardman short with plasticine animals talking about living conditions; our most recent work involves doing lip synch and voice acting of our own, figuring out which exact frames correspond with speech.
For the first lip synch animation I used a sample of Bette Davis’ dialogue from the 1950 film All About Eve with a swan character.
It’s more enjoyable than I imagined it would be and I’m semi-pleased with at least the first half of the result. As I write this I’ve moved on to a second piece of animation with a sample of dialogue from Harry Langdon – a sample that I was able to find online. I look foward to finishing the result and posting it here!
