Edit 9.1: added a short pause beat right after mask comes off, to heighten impact of kicker. See the difference it makes?

This one was interesting. Having made technical drawings/simulations in engineering work, trying to freehand a more organic and fun machine animation was a subtle challenge.

12. Boring exercise today. Basic dialogue mouth animation. I can tell this will be a grindy part if I ever go talkie. I think the pros record the dialogue before rendering the mouth animation? How do you handle audio-visual registration? Can this be easily automated?

I recall seeing a basic lookup table of phonemes and mouth shapes. So it’s a grind of breaking down dialogue, doing the frames, then adjusting frame boundaries to match recorded voices. Sounds awful. Humans are unfortunately very sensitive to AV misregisterations in dialogue.
