So unlike rotoscoping i had a million and two ideas for this project. The one i choose in the end might not have been the best but its without a doubt my favourite project out of this entire brief.
My favourite ideas were as follows...
P.Sherman, 42 Wallybeeway Sydney: Finding Nemo -Dory/Ellen Degeneres
but it was too short, and too fast.it wouldnt show off the lipsyncing properly, it would just be over i a flash off movements and done.... so unfortunately that wasnt possible.
basically any line by samuel l jackson in pulp fiction, this shoed perfect volume ranges and emotions HOWEVER .... i couldnt find one without some form of swearing in it. and ets face it im not the most ploite person about as it is, i dont think the examiners want to hear all... that. So that was also out of the question.
The you cant handle the truth scene from a few good men. yes im very well aware i havent given the most feminine ideas so far, but theyre boring.
The scene had a range of volumes, emotions, speeds, it was perfect, except i was very quickly running out of time for this task, and after discussing it with too many people it was decided lipsyncing a full scene and three characters probably isnt the smartest move on such a time frame.... quick note, no matter how awesome you think an idea will be, be realistic, your client or employeer wont care how amazing the idea is, theyll want thier moneys worth out of you by the deadline, not ideas. sad truth, but truth none the less.
Then after trolling through my memory for big movie speeches with emotions, volumes etc i thought of a few but i also thought of the one i actually went with.
Tommy Lee Jones' speech in the Fugitive..... and when i told others about this idea, i officially felt like an old man in a 22 year olds head.... The fugitive is a movie about a doctor played by indiana jones... ehem i mean, hans solo.... i mean Harrason Ford, whos wrongly accused of his wifes murder, in a series of events (wont spoil the movie) breaks out of custody and goes on the run, Tommy lee Jones is the sheriff in charge of capturing him. The scene and speech i based my lipsync to is where Tommy Lee Jones is informing all the reporters and other law enforcement officers who and what they are hunting, ie Harrason Ford.
Its loud and its a bit long, but its a powerful scene and i hope i designed the character as strong powerful and sarcastic. The camera men i rotoscoped off an internet image and added a few reporter objects.
The lipsyncing did take its time and im glad i choose a scene i wasnt going to get sick off easily because believe me, listen to something a million times during a lipsync and youll get tired of anything. my flatmates can testify to it..... if they didnt know the speech before this, they do now.
The background i will admit was unnecessary and im annoyed how long it took me to do, but i think it built up the short to a new level, and im happy with the final result. just to be vain and show off my efforts (after all most of its cut out in the final short) below is a jpeg of the annoyingly detailed woodland area.

Yes maybe you were expecting something more, but my god that took me forever, i clearly take my sweet time making digital renders. but i think it was worth it.
Below are just a few class exercises, to give you a little idea how i made the final lipsync....
