Dope sheet

I did the dope sheet for my character and narrative project. It took forever!! But I did it, Im not sure if it was easier or more difficult in 24fps! it allowed for more frames and lip movement but when your scrubbing the timeline you can't really hear what it is saying and have to scrub and re scrub and figure out what it is saying!!!

11 second club

I think I'm going to do this months competition. It's not overly exciting but it will help me practice lip syncing which is what we are working on at the moment. I will make sure to use a dope sheet too. I may even use a different character to moom to see how different they are. I have 11 days to do this so thats 30th november i believe... So I need to start this on monday. (I am busy this weekend but I'll try do something, maybe the dope sheet) I think I will start off fairly simple for my first competition as I am still learning maya. I will try and figure out how to make a scene too. And maybe Ill add in a second character for them to interact. Either that or my character could be talking to the audience. 
Maybe it could look like its talking to the audience then it zooms out and its actually talking to a sad pet who's deciding whether to eat a biscuit or not.

Study task 4+5

Study task 4 was to choose a sound clip and create a dope sheet for its lip sync. I chose the anchor man clip. The left column is for the sound the word makes like phonetics. The column on the right is for what frame number that sound relates to. 

Study task 5 was to look at a sheet of phonemes and work out which one fits it and write down which it is. Then take this to moom and make him talk!

I actually really enjoyed doing this! It was hard at first when trying to figure out what phoneme it relates to best but when actually doing it i found it much better. I am quite pleased with my result! the big teeth get in the way a bit though but it doesn't look right without it when trying to do things like 'V'. it also lacks a tongue i think.  Here is my lip sync:
