Near completion of all animation (except compositing lip sync)
I Have animated the 'quote off' without mouths, ready for the lip sync to be comped in.
Paris also needs lip sync which won't be too difficult she has one line! not 8 or 5!
Completion of scene 07-10 is on it's way, these scenes have minimal animation, and I must say 07_sc has been my favorite to animate.
So now compositing the animation in to the scenes and rendering like a mad man wait a mad woman is on the cards!
Feeling a little bit like this being so close to the end (Pearl in scene 7)

PS; Press kit is all printed and ready to be picked up tomorrow, I will be collecting it before class, 11;30-5;30, what a day, can't get it after so must go pick up before.
So excited to see DVD case, cover, booklet and posters and post cards! Hoozah!
Oh yeah and when I get a moment I must print logo and glue on brown paper bag and print dialogue list off oh and the 2 digital still & a secret surprise which if you follow my blog you should know what it is (I keep repeating what I have to do for the press kit) but once it is done full concentrate on the final touches of POW!

So I have been working on lip sync so close to having all the 3D mouths done just a matter to re sizing angling them on the right angle and comping in.
Hoorah!
I would upload the playblast of the lip sync, but it is not working reallllly slow internet at the moment... my apologies.
Other than that finalizing shots is on it's way, fantastic.
PS; press kit fail... due to it having to be ready in a week, by time I order the tote bag it may not get here on time you see I am in a pickle... all my post gets sent to my old address and that put my plan right down the crapper.
I shall have to present it in something else, thoughts are a giant brown paper bag with the film logo.
Other than that all that has to be done is, 2 digital still prints... uh I will self print, pick up printed goods, 10xdvd included booklet with bio, cv, cast crew etc, (will only be handing in one dvd and my film burnt to the disc, playable in computer and on the telly 'dvd player') 2xposter and 8xpostcards.
And burn my showreel again?... or re hand in the one I handed in earlier?
Really would like to avoid burning another copy considering I got them professionally printed, need to save these pups for the future!
So here here to getting things done. sorta kinda, if things don't go to plan always have a backup plan!
Which will be the brown paper bag! - all sorted.

This one I have added Paris on the left hand side, and cat and celery are moved up a bit...

Most time will be spent finishing off Pearl of wisdom blogging may have to wait until it is done.
Hoorah!

I have been animating all day, all of Paris is nearly animated! All she needs is lip sync! I am doing a dope sheet for this and replacement mouths.
This is the heart falling.. thought I'd add some blood squishing out of it.

Re doing Paris...
She was too clunky done in toon boom studio frame by frame.
So she is being re done, in the long run the effort will be worth it, more appealing Paris and possible and most definite a smoother animation.

ps; Hoorah for Melbourne cup which = a day off to work on Pearl!

Lip sync
Jack has made mouths in Maya for lip sync, Brilliant this is the answer to my problem!
Thank you Jack!
I have changed all wav files to 16bit because Maya does not like 32bit. Good thing about this I can listen to the wav file, in toon boom I could not play in the timeline you clicked and a separate window would pop up... and what use is that, so changing the mouths and syncing to the line that was said was non existence although there is a automatic lip sync but it doesn't do a great job, 'looks out of sync'.
Now to get all my shots ready and animate them without mouths!? Except when they are silent they will have a little toon boom mouth.
This is going to take quite some time to finish off the shots ready for lip sync.
One thing I know that I am daunting Maya 2012 interface I hope I know where everything is, I have not touched Maya in quite some time.

Lip sync isn't going all that well, I am running out of time and yeah, my fault.
Thinking I need to go old school and use dope sheets.
That is an possibility, so time consuming but this may have to be done.
I must say lip sync is great and all but when you feel pushed for time it's the last thing you want to do.
A total of 10 lines for Pearl and 5 for Wesley
Paris has a line, but hey that may be said 'off screen'
And lemon aid girl does say her line off screen.
someone wish me luck!
Here is a picture of Wesley with out his Beard, looking young and youthful.
