Here is another one -Look for the More Bragging on Chad entry http://a-blogle-in-time.blogspot.com it has breakdowns of the process.

Her si the entry for the Pilot Part 2 which focuses on the facial animation - http://a-blogle-in-time.blogspot.com/2010/02/pilot-part-two.html

Benny, if you could paste me a link, if you know it, it would be great - I cannot find that blog.

I also tried to search for some info about simpsons face animation, but no luck. Currently I dive into AE

Look at the tutorial on character animation here on the Mettle Freeform pro site - http://www.mettle.com/freeform-pro/

You should also do a search for the animation blog for the guys who do Archer. It is all Illustrator through AE.

Thanks Eric! I checked already the autolipsync, it's pretty good. But I am looking for a solution of creating facial animation like Gene here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8rnMc22AG8 . I have references http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cvHO-BOXGU8/TWMYxwPnn_I/AAAAAAAAA3E/vPXLgtFtk-4/s1600/talkreference-gf-edit.png and created already poses of face of my character. Now how to morph one mouth shape to another? :/


2013/7/2 Mr. Eric D. Kirk <kirkproductions@gmail.com>
I would suggest lipsync by mamoworld.com as a start.
 
I'm sure Mathias will be chiming in very soon.

Hello

I am wondering if you know any technique for animating mouth and the whole face using after effects. I mean creating some kind of face rig, using poses designed earlier. There is no problem in ordering faces one after another according to text speech, but what with morphing standard face into different poses? Anyone know?
