DV2900 Talking Point - Research part 2

Today, we was shown some different animation with lip syncing and there was one that stood out for me and it was one that was created by a previous student.

This video is called Blah Blah Blah (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDomWionPGI, 02/01/2012). I really liked this animation because it was funny, The video is like what I wanted to do mentioned before, but instead its a series of adverts or parts from TV, but it still is entertaining. The art work isn't the best but I think that its really effective, and with this type of art work it makes things more funny, they blend together well. what I liked the most out of this animation was the movement of the characters. the lip syncing was done really well.

The lip syncing was smooth, the animator strung together the different mouth positions to create the flowing dialog, and i don't see anything wrong with it at all. The styling itself is good as well, there is a lot of colour which attracts the audience. The backgrounds are not too complicated but they still work, just having a background to put the character in helps, it creates a connection to the dialog itself. The story of this animation is good, because it has the different stories with all different characters and dialog, and styling goes well with it because it then connects it all together and visually making it work as well as with dialog.

This is a video called Friends who can't Keep secrets by Swoozie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcAdk_n--ns, 25/08/2013). This animation has a little bit of lip syncing but not a lot, the lip syncing is pretty basic, there are only a few mouth positions which create the illusion of dialog. The main reason i looked at this is because of the concept, this animation is all about a true story this guy went through, and I thought that I could create something just like this but with more detail and a lot more lip syncing and maybe exaggerate it to give it more dramatic atmosphere, maybe even make it more funny. This is another opinion for what I can do instead of jokes and funny situation maybe I could do mine on more the serious side of things.

The styling of this animation was very basic, there was no colour at all and the characters are stick figures. There is shading and shadows which are done all right, but there is no backgrounds at all. compared to the previous video above this animation is very basic because of the lack of mouth positions and the styling.

I created a story board going through some of the ideas I came up with.

I do like most of the ideas that I wrote down but I just need to find a story to do, so I can plan and work on it.
