Training for lip sync done in class with an audio grab provided by Banks. The lines are from the movie Forest Gump and the performance is given by Tom Hanks. He has a slower and more exaggerated speech pattern which helps for a practice for at creating the phoneme shapes needed to mimic speech. Pacing the lower jaw movements is also hugely important to making a performance look believable.

Now What?

This was a huge help with better refining my final project. Unfortunately the model I chose to give the performance is actually quite restrictive in it's ability for exaggerated expressions. So in light of that I hope to give a more accurately subtle performance, the lines in the scene are fairly soft and more like a normal conversation so in a way it almost suits it.
