Creative Decision and Experimentation | Update #32

As much bravery I tried to show, I had to confront my fear eventually. The fear was to animate and put sounds into them. This is something that I was looking to avoid from the very beginning. Somehow you can’t outrun your fate. Here I am sitting down and animatic the voices.
Back in the days I used to work on mute animations. It had never posed any threat to me since I was comfortable working around these. Since the frame rate should also synchronize with the dialogues, I referred to the bible again. The animators guide is saying that I do not have to record every sound. In my case simply recording mouth pieces and vowels will do just fine. Rest of the sounds are rather similar and animations can be used again.
My teacher has recommended Adobe Anime’s ai tool for this. At this point I am monitoring frame by frame movements to look for patterns. My advice to the future animators is to write all the words before you proceed with this task and circle the vowels. You will be astonished with the repetition.

Although I kept referring back to animators survival kit to learn how to animate, it still proved to be much difficult. Another development that occurred in this week was the sound editing in aftereffects. However, the process is rather difficult and tiring. Luckily, I found a new app that has made this easier for me. Flip a Clip, which is a free animation tool allows you to set the voices as per their framework and it tutorial did the trick. Apparently when you import the sounds it it broken down in to frames.
