ABSTRACT
Our faces serve to visually communicate emotion and are also a vehicle for spoken language. Digital character development of the face requires a setup which is capable of creating the shapes associated with emotional expressions, in tandem with the shapes needed to visualize the sounds required for lip-sync. Lip-sync is the process of animating the character’s face to match the voice or sounds present in the character’s voice-over audio track. By incorporating the anatomy and psychology of faces into our setups, we gain the ability to create compelling, emotive characters no matter how fantastic they are.
