Very cool character. So many things to think about for making her come to life.
So the jaw is a wire frame that you move for speaking? How do you sync up the actors voice to the movement of the mouth? Do you have the voice over already recorded so you can listen to it when you are shooting to pace it or are you just following the script and the voice over is synced up in editing or with some type of ADR?
Yeah the wire in the jaw allows for her mouth to be animated. Usually dialogue or sounds are recorded first, and then animated to match that. Here's an example of an audio track:
Each number above the wave file represents a frame. The images give us a preview of what it will look like when being played back in real time (sock monkey is just the example image).
Thanks for the explanation. This is very interesting!
