Seneca college lip syncing

Lip synching- expression

While i've been looking all over Youtube to find many animation examples, I noticed there are many that are too expressive and many that are not expressive enough.


An example of over-expressive animation


An example of under expressive animation

I feel that over-expressive takes gives more feeling to the characters, but consumes alot of time to the animator, and that under-expressive takes are complete opposite; less time consuming, but reduces the felling of the character

Animation reels- Gene McGuckin

Gene McGuckin is a famous animator for directing modern day animation including Ren&Stimpy and Foster's home for imaginary friends.

His style of animation is very variable, so it's no surprise that he go from traditional outlined animation to cutout-like flash animation so easily. In this show reel, he shows just how flexible and energetic his characters can become. He uses an old and popular technique known as Squash and Stretch. Basically, this removes the stiff reality of their proportion and makes them more liquid in movement.

Animation reels- Raul Aguirre

Raul is a animator, artist and illustrator from LA who worked for Walt Disney studios for 8 years (1994- 2002) He worked on many features such as Tarzan and Atlantis, and was among many animators who worked on Treasure Planet.

this reel is good evidence to proove this, as it shows test animation on many Disney characters, as well as some pure production animation from Treasure Planet.

Animation reels- Heather Wittich

Heather Wittich is currently an anonymous animator, but his/her animation showreel is very good to watch, and really helps looking over the motion of each frame.

This animation reel mostly contains examples of lip syncing, which I think would be a good technique to learn in college.
