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.
