During this project we were tasked with creating a 2D animated Facial Rig through the use of both Photoshop and Adobe After Effects, animating the rig to synchronize with a voice line of our choosing.
In order to do this, I first used photoshop to draw a series of different mouth expressions, based around the pronunciation of different letters (A, O, F. etc...), using multiple existing images as a reference for each one.
Once this was completed, I created a text to speech sentence saying "Hello World" using an online text to speech website (nuance.com) and using OBS to record the output. Then I imported both the mouth expressions and the recorded sentence into After Effects.
Finally, I organized each of the mouth expression syllable types to link with the text to speech voice, mimicking the flow of the sentence and appearing as if they were speaking.
Overall, I believe that this task went well, as the expressions accurately synchronize with the spoken works, however, if I could improve on this I would change the sentence to be longer so that the video would be easier to watch or understand.
