THE ANIMATION.
The final animation consisted of a more challenging, expressive tone in
dialogue. Acting out in front of the mirror I had a good strong idea
of what I wanted. The neck was to play a major role in delivering
the correct level of anger in the voice. The facial muscles would
have to be screwed up into a tight ball in the centre of the face.
Creating the mouth shapes was easy enough. From my research I had
noticed that the same shapes are used, the mouth is more open at the extremes.
My first 'real' attempt produced staggering results.
With very little effort I had achieved a passable animation. The
neck needed to be more sharp with it's tilting, as well as tidying up some
dialogue poses. This was soon remedied.
The head had a more refined sharper thrust which complemented the urgency
of the dialogue perfectly. A few finer refinements and the finished
product was complete.
