For my film, I have a lot of dialogue that I will need to lip sync. I've never done lip syncing before, so it was an interesting process learning how to do this. I first tried recording a video of myself saying the line I'm working with, and rotoscoping my mouth movements. As seen below, this wasn't at all successful. It looks awkward, the mouth movements don't sync up at all with the sound, and it's not very expressive.
I found a YouTube tutorial on working with lip sync that seemed beginner friendly, so I followed along to that and developed my own chart of mouth shapes. I adjusted some of the shapes to fit more with my film's shape language.
Here's the lip sync test that resulted from working with this method
This version is a lot more readable and flows well. I'll keep experimenting but I have a good framework for creating my lip synced shots now.
