Jib Jab type animation

Post by yodaone »

I am very new to animation and have had limited experience with IClone. I have been checking out other software and Anime Studio looks like something I would enjoy. One of the types of animation I want to get into is the talking face style I've seen on JibJab political shorts. Can anyone tell me how the animated mouths are done and how can this program help me with that style? Any tutorials out there? I'd appreciate any advice.

AS is able to do that.

1. You can draw your mouths, or you can use scanned-in photographs.
2. You can put different mouth shapes into a switch layer.
3. You can use Papagayo to nearly automate the sync between soundfile and mouth shape.

Aside from that: why would anyone want to hear more politicians talk??
