character lipsync animation

#1

I made this quick lipsync test with a sample I took from an interview with (the master of funk himself) James Brown!
The character is part of a project I’m working on.
I think the movement of the mouth isn’t smooth enough, and maybe I should make more extreme blendshapes…but that’s what tests are for! I’d like to receive some more feedback on how I can make improvements!!


the movie can be downloaded here (10,4MB DIVX):

its pretty sweet so far. and yeah, the lipsync is good but it doesnt seem to articulate as well as it can, even though its a small mouth and the audio track doesnt sound like someone with a PHD in linguistics =]
but overall the movement is good, it just need to be smoothed.

Thanks Peddy, you’re right about the smoothing, some movements are too quick I guess.Sometimes also the mouth opens too far in compared to the audio…
