    My animation teacher used to tell me to animate the mouth shapes two frames before the actual sound. That is one drawing before if you're animating on 2's. I always found it to be quite useful and effective.

    @eshan309 7 років тому +29

    This was incredible! Such a simple dialogue....simple character....nothing but the character comes, shows he doesnt have shoes, and leaves. But animating in a such way all those simple things makes it so funny and entertaining!
    This is what i dont have and want to achieve...the liveliness which you present in anything in animation...im not able to put it into words right now.

    You're animation is so inspiring! I spent years as a background and storyboard artist at FR and NAS, before getting burned out and moved to Vegas, now a show drummer. I just got a wacom and can't wait to order your tutorials. It's like when I was a kid and used to copy KISS records and Don Martin all over again.

    You describe many points of lip-syncing I had never considered, thank you for taking the time to make this video!

  • @patrickdeza
    @patrickdeza 8 років тому +54

    How did the traditional animators do the lip syncing?
    I find it hard to imagine, since there is no fast way to doublecheck, if your frames match the sound.
    Did they note every word on an X-sheet first?
    Awesome video by the way :-)
    Best wishes from Germany
    Patrick

    • @eonstar
      @eonstar 8 років тому +8

      +Patrick Deza Maybe the voice actors would act to the sounds that they saw and try to sinc it up. But I notice a lot of older cartoons have just music which could explain this case :P.

    • @koalabrownie
      @koalabrownie 8 років тому +22

      Yes they would note each shape on a dopesheet and typically put the shape 2 frames before the sounds. This is for the west. In Japan, the would normally just animate it and then have the voice over done later, that's why the japanese have a lot less mouth shapes. One of the few exceptions is Akira which recorded dial first.

    • @eonstar
      @eonstar 8 років тому +4

      koalabrownie I think some westerners did it the way they did it in Japan. (I saw a movie and the person was voice acting to the animation.

      Yeah it's possible. I think it's usually cheaper to do it that way

  • @simonhaywood5238
    @simonhaywood5238 10 років тому +5

    Aaron lovin your series you have some great info. I havnt animated anything but, I tend to agree with think the animations come before the sound, as light is before sound in life, just like lightning strikes, you see the lightning then you hear the sound of it. Keep up the great work and keep me being inspired. Thanx bud

  • @Glasseyyy
    @Glasseyyy 3 роки тому

    Incredibly interesting and was something I was wondering about for a very long time. I just wasnt able to put into words. I often have transitions and now recently lyrics, and definitely noticed that placing them before the sound looked better but it still looked wrong because i didnt leave enough room for more frames. Thanks!

    Sir,
    Your tutorials are very helpful..just great, being a flash animator I really find it hard to achieve the kind of flow you have maintained through out the animation even after applying tweens. So I would really like to have a breakdown of your animation process in the future.

    @wholebitmedia 10 років тому

    Hey Aaron nice animation. Are you still using the Disney principles or is this a straight ahead approach? I've been using a more structured approach based on forces that for me seems to supercede a lot of things that were not culturally instinctual when the principles were agreed upon by 9 old men. Do you think the system is outdated?

    How to do lip sync on paper, without audio clips? What about syncing of vocals and consonants for traditional animation on paper?? I have never been able to understand how to do this...
    You worked for disney and you are an expert, can you explain how to do it??

  • @muuluzi
    @muuluzi 7 років тому

    thanks for the awesome video Aaron! Even if it is pretty old. I decided a couple of days ago that I would like to start animating. I don't have an animation program so I would enjoy it you made a video on animating in video editors or if you already have one made than can you link me? P.S. how do you know if you have enough frames for the animation when animating in video editors?

      Unfortunetly, I had no way of testing the cintiqs yet.

  • @chloeravina9817
    @chloeravina9817 7 років тому

    My friends and I are working on an animation, we're a bunch of newbies so we wanted to know: Do you do the voice overs before getting started on key frames or is it backwards? And musical scoring comes after everything right?

    • @TheMikirog
      @TheMikirog 7 років тому

      Some animators do music before the actual animation. If it has a lot of key moments, it is easier to make animations way more dynamic, matching the music. With Voice Over, I often animate without any mouth movements and I try to predict how long certain lines would take. After that, it's easy to prolong some frames. Of course, I do it in Moho, which is vector based, so there's a bit more leeway on that. If the line is a bit more involved, I start from scratch or with slight variation, like arm acting.

    I'm trying this out, but I can't animate right. It's because during movement, I can't see what I'm working off of. Is there a way to see the frames before so I know what I'm doing. I hope I made myself clear.

    • @mentallyderangeddoggirl

    I'm sure Cintiq is amazing but it's also expensive as hell. Especially for people who don't get paid in dollars. :((

    • @RayPointerChannel
      @RayPointerChannel 7 років тому

      The Cintiq has its advantages and disadvantages. Aside from the cost, you simply do not have the same amount of control on your lines as you do on paper. The thickness of the glass is part of the trouble. This becomes a problem when you are doing tightly spaced animation drawings. The spacing can be misinterpreted due to this.

    I wonder how all these tips translate to 3D animation.
    maybe you can't eat that many lip shapes.

    • @jimmysrevenge1
      @jimmysrevenge1 10 років тому

      ***** huh. ok. i thought because in 3D, you animate with 24 frames normally, skipping too many shapes might cause it to be too snappy or you might end up with too many inbetweens.
      i'm still a student and we started lipsync classes this week, in 3D. Your video certainly makes me think. :) thanks for the reply, btw.
