Speech

Don't over-do the phoneme poses, and don't move too fast.

Don't match completely, nearly all of the time we get partway there

Emotion affects the shape and exaggeration of the mouth

Start by looking at how much the mouth opens/closes (put hand under chin and notice how much things get moved, and timing); the spacing and timing of the opening are crucial, the smaller parts of pursing/etc are the next step, and the teeth/tongue/bottom lip are the more final details.

Muppets are great for viewing references, as far as the open/close and timing

Andy Rig

Don't mess with the gray values

Face Sliders & On Face --> set to 1 and turn on

AutoStretch should probably be off initially.

Stretch can be used if we need a little stretching

For Feet, the Parent setting:

andy_world will keep the feet planted to ground

andy_root will focus on keeping the body together.

FOR NEXT CLASS

Find a photo and frame the Andy face to try and get the image's emotion (DO NOT USE ILLUSTRATIONS)
