Lip Sync Animation Project Name:______ Lip Sync Animation Project Name:__________ STEP ONE: LOOK at the following mouth movement diagram to get an idea of the possiblities for your animation. STEP TWO: CHOOSE either a song or joke to create a lip sync animation. (The song/joke must be approved by the teacher first and be appropriate for a Catholic school – no swearing or foul language) STEP THREE: MODEL SHEET - CHARACTER DESIGN: begin DRAWING your Model Sheet for your character. You will be responsible for drawing them with all 9 different facial expressions as pictured in Figure 5.18 (No copies of pre- existing characters!) STEP FOUR: SCAN your 9 different facial expression into the computer using the scanners. REMEMBER: scan each picture at 72 DPI Size: and NAME: each scan numerically 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, into a folder on your U: drive. STEP FIVE: Using the Macromedia program Flash - Import each individual jpeg image to the Library . STEP SIX: Once you have imported all the individual images begin assembling them on the stage area – one at a time – by dragging and dropping them - into individual key frames. REMEMBER: Save your working file often and even create a backup file. STEP SEVEN: REFLECT on your animation once its finished by answering the following questions in your Media Arts Journal: 1. What aspect of your animation do you find most successful and why? 2. What aspect of your animation do you find least successful and why? 3. If you could do this project again, what changes would you make to improve it?

  • Facial Animation: Overview and Some Recent Papers
    Facial animation: overview and some recent papers Benjamin Schroeder January 25, 2008 Outline Iʼll start with an overview of facial animation and its history; along the way Iʼll discuss some common approaches. After that Iʼll talk about some notable recent papers and finally offer a few thoughts about the future. 1 Defining the problem 2 Historical highlights 3 Some recent papers 4 Thoughts on the future Defining the problem Weʼll take facial animation to be the process of turning a characterʼs speech and emotional state into facial poses and motion. (This might extend to motion of the whole head.) Included here is the problem of modeling the form and articulation of an expressive head. There are some related topics that we wonʼt consider today. Autonomous characters require behavioral models to determine what they might feel or say. Hand and body gestures are often used alongside facial animation. Faithful animation of hair and rendering of skin can greatly enhance the animation of a face. Defining the problem This is a tightly defined problem, but solving it is difficult. We are intimately aware of how human faces should look, and sensitive to subtleties in the form and motion. Lip and mouth shapes donʼt correspond to individual sounds, but are context-dependent. These are further affected by the emotions of the speaker and by the language being spoken. Many different parts of the face and head work together to convey meaning. Facial anatomy is both structurally and physically complex: there are many layers of different kinds of material (skin, fat, muscle, bones). Defining the problem Here are some sub-questions to consider.

    First Words The Birth of Sound Cinema, 1895 – 1929 Wednesday, September 23, 2010 Northwest Film Forum Co-Presented by The Sprocket Society Seattle, WA www.sprocketsociety.org Origins “In the year 1887, the idea occurred to me that it was possible to devise an instrument which should do for the eye what the phonograph does for the ear, and that by a combination of the two all motion and sound could be recorded and reproduced simultaneously. …I believe that in coming years by my own work and that of…others who will doubtlessly enter the field that grand opera can be given at the Metropolitan Opera House at New York [and then shown] without any material change from the original, and with artists and musicians long since dead.” Thomas Edison Foreword to History of the Kinetograph, Kinetoscope and Kineto-Phonograph (1894) by WK.L. Dickson and Antonia Dickson. “My intention is to have such a happy combination of electricity and photography that a man can sit in his own parlor and see reproduced on a screen the forms of the players in an opera produced on a distant stage, and, as he sees their movements, he will hear the sound of their voices as they talk or sing or laugh... [B]efore long it will be possible to apply this system to prize fights and boxing exhibitions. The whole scene with the comments of the spectators, the talk of the seconds, the noise of the blows, and so on will be faithfully transferred.” Thomas Edison Remarks at the private demonstration of the (silent) Kinetoscope prototype The Federation of Women’s Clubs, May 20, 1891 This Evening’s Film Selections All films in this program were originally shot on 35mm, but are shown tonight from 16mm duplicate prints.

The Video Rewrite uses existing footage to create automatically new results are similar to labor-intensive special effects in Forest video of a person mouthing words that she did not speak in the Gump. These effects are successful because they start from actual original footage. This technique is useful in movie dubbing, for film footage and modify it to match the new speech. Modifying example, where the movie sequence can be modified to sync the and reassembling such footage in a smart way and synchronizing it actors’ lip motions to the new soundtrack. to the new sound track leads to final footage of realistic quality.

  • FILM-GOING in the SILENT ERA Elizabeth Ezra in The
    THE CINEMISING PROCESS: FILM-GOING IN THE SILENT ERA Elizabeth Ezra In the Surrealist text Nadja, published in 1928, André Breton reminisces about going to the cinema in the days ‘when, with Jacques Vaché we would settle down to dinner in the orchestra of [the cinema in] the former Théâtre des Folies- Dramatiques, opening cans, slicing bread, uncorking bottles, and talking in ordinary tones, as if around a table, to the great amazement of the spectators, who dared not say a word’ (Breton 1960 [1928]: 37). When Breton recalled these youthful antics, which had probably taken place in the late teens or early twenties, he characterized them as ‘a question of going beyond the bounds of what is “allowed,” which, in the cinema as nowhere else, prepared me to invite in the “forbidden” (Breton 1951; original emphasis). Breton’s remarks beg the following questions. How did such behaviour in a cinema come to be considered transgressive? How did the structures emerge that made it a transgressive act to speak or eat a meal in the cinema, to reject, in other words, the narrative absorption that had become a standard feature of the filmgoing experience? The conventions that gave meaning to such forms of transgression emerged over the course of the silent era in what may be called, to adapt Norbert Elias’s term, ‘the cinemizing process’ (1994). The earliest historians of cinema already relied heavily on a rhetoric of lost innocence (witness the multiple accounts of the first cinema-goers cowering under their seats in front of the Lumière brothers’ film of a train pulling into a station); the cinemizing process thus presupposes a ‘golden age’ of naive, uninitiated spectatorship followed by 2 an evolution of audiences into worldy-wise creatures of habit.

  • Popular Song Recordings and the Disembodied Voice
    Lipsynching: Popular Song Recordings and the Disembodied Voice Merrie Snell Doctor of Philosophy School of Arts and Cultures April 2015 Abstract This thesis is an exploration and problematization of the practice of lipsynching to pre- recorded song in both professional and vernacular contexts, covering over a century of diverse artistic practices from early sound cinema through to the current popularity of vernacular internet lipsynching videos. This thesis examines the different ways in which the practice provides a locus for discussion about musical authenticity, challenging as well as re-confirming attitudes towards how technologically-mediated audio-visual practices represent musical performance as authentic or otherwise. It also investigates the phenomenon in relation to the changes in our relationship to musical performance as a result of the ubiquity of recorded music in our social and private environments, and the uses to which we put music in our everyday lives. This involves examining the meanings that emerge when a singing voice is set free from the necessity of inhabiting an originating body, and the ways in which under certain conditions, as consumers of recorded song, we draw on our own embodiment to imagine “the disembodied”. The main goal of the thesis is to show, through the study of lipsynching, an understanding of how we listen to, respond to, and use recorded music, not only as a commodity to be consumed but as a culturally-sophisticated and complex means of identification, a site of projection, introjection, and habitation,

  • Research on Animation Lip Synchronization Technology
    Received June 30, 2013; Accepted September 15, 2013 Research on Animation Lip synchronization technology A study on application and development of domestic animation Lip synchronization Cho, Jungsung Chung Kang College of Cultural Industries [email protected] . Abstract Recently, linguistic communication and learning effect and even delivery of knowledge information and mutual communion was capacitated with English lip sync automation device and voice recognition technology based real time animation character in areas like movie, game, broadcasting, AR with application of animation lip sync. It connotes the possibility of these characters` lip sync using characteristic of animation to efficiently enhance the qualitative level of work in domestic animation creation`s linguistic expression with progress and application of automation technology. In a word, a study on development and practical use of Korean lip sync technique is needed to be made actively in industrial, technical progress of domestic animation. However, it is hard to find a research on commercialization method of Korean lip sync automation technique and excellent performance or example that these techniques were applied in domestic animation up to now. The reason that development using Korean lip sync technique on domestic animation passed unobserved could be found in problem of sociocultural awareness, production environment and functional value feature. First, in Korea, animation is recognized as subordinate part of movie genre, and sociocultural stereotype that persisted with dictionary definition and feature that unreal and non-objective illusion image with playful exaggeration and symbol that brings optical illusion through apparition of movement is also a problem. Second, labor-intensive method that mobilized many labor was used in production of traditional 2D animation, and since the production was done by specific worker with long acumen and experience, thus it requires long period of production and big consumption expense.

  • Haruhi in Usa: a Case Study of a Japanese Anime in the United States
    HARUHI IN USA: A CASE STUDY OF A JAPANESE ANIME IN THE UNITED STATES A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Ryotaro Mihara August 2009 © 2009 Ryotaro Mihara ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Although it has been more than a decade since Japanese anime became a popular topic of conversation when discussing Japan, both within the United States and in other countries as well, few studies have empirically investigated how, and by whom, anime has been treated and consumed outside of Japan. This research thus tries to provide one possible answer to the following set of questions: What is the empirical transnationality of anime? How and by whom is anime made transnational? How is anime transnationally localized/consumed? In order to answer the questions, I investigated the trans-pacific licensing, localizing, and consuming process of the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (Haruhi) from Japan to the United States by conducting fieldwork in the United States’ agencies which localized Haruhi as well as U.S. anime and Haruhi fans. The central focus of this research is the ethnography of agencies surrounding Haruhi in the United States and Japan. I assume that these agencies form a community with a distinctive culture and principles of behaviors and practices in the handling of the Haruhi anime texts. The research findings to the above questions could be briefly summarized as follows. The worldview, characters, and settings of Haruhi (i.e. a fictious world of Haruhi which is embodied and described through its anime episodes and other related products) “reduces” and “diffuses” as it is transferred on the official business track from the producers in Japan to the localizers in the United States (i.e.

The first recognised machinima was created in 1996. Since then, it has achieved an impressive growth record albeit a medium in transition. It is embedded in social media networking platforms – during this project the former community website, Machinima.com (now MachinimaTM) recorded its 5 billionth hit – only the second website to do so in the history of the internet. This report focuses on research findings from a primary investigation into the perspectives of the key stakeholders associated with the medium: machinima creators (machinimators), games developers and digital arts curators. The research has used a predominantly qualitative methodology, including netnography and interviews. Netnographic findings highlight four main channels of distribution for machinima: games channels, social networks, virtual learning channels and walled channels, emphasising
