John Howard’s Knees – facial animation test from David Blumenstein on Vimeo.
A short facial animation test for John Howard’s Knees!
I’ve gone through a few different designs for Howard; this one is the simplest, but I wasn’t sure if it would work with the voice.
I built a set of standard “sad” mouths for him (11), then animated some lipsync to this bit of wibbling we recorded, finding out as I did what extra mouths (the sketched red ones) need to be added to the set to make the lipsync look better.
I think it looks OK. What do you reckon?
