Animation Crash Course #2: Simple Anime Lip-Sync

[@undadibigmangotree]

Were you hearing me cry why while doing my lip sync homework?

[@speeddrawingfr6773]

I’ve been training myself for two years and this kind of tutorial is gold, I’d be willing to pay you for more !

[@Reelok0]

thank you so much! ive been drawing digitally and practising animation for only a couple of years, and ive been using flipaclip, and i wanted to start something professional, icant believe this is really free! this inspired me so much to start doing professional animation, again, tysm!

[@MathematicPony]

You are a godsend, Dong!!! I've been looking for videos like this for ages that show processes broken down abstractly with enough technical specificity. Thanks so much!!!

[@ashleechan22]

This is awesome! As an animator myself, this is alot of work! A minute of animation could be about 1000 frams (depending on how smooth the animation is). I'm not this good as this guy of course but wow, appreciate the work and explanation!

[@yezzzsir]

Never clicked a notification so fast lol!

[@sub2domus693]

lol me too XD

[@calogiga]

I'm always doing a step more : I written the words (syllables) of the file audio in a note level aside, while scrubbing. So, it's easy to work with the file audio. It's a visual indication who allow me quick adjustements...

[@pffft7659]

thank you! i love that you take the time to teach us and show us your process, its very nice :D

[@ayerth]

cant express how thankful i am for you showing these types of things inside of open toonz! thank you thank you thank you!!

[@aramr.1301]

Thank God FINALLY something simple enough for a beginner! That'll be REALLY REALLY helpful thanks❤

[@FreddieElsom]

You have a great, efficient way of explaining things.

[@InkfightStudios]

Thank you for the tutorial now I definitely cant wait to try audio animation this year!! ☺️

[@aakkumaa_]

OMG this helps a lot with my animation homework thank you so much 😭❤️

[@leaode_cafe]

amazing work, it's opening my eyes

[@pasteldoll7274]

super helpful, I don't really want to hand animate the western way of lip syncing since it is so stupidly time consuming when it is't that weird to just do it this way, will save a lot of time

[@punchinganimations9021]

This was interesting to know- This helps me alot, really. Thanks!

[@LorisSolic]

keep this up. Would love to see a video about composition only in OT, and if you can show dynamic backgrounds. Also how you do animating against moving background and planning those animations out.

[@syouxhotaru1135]

I thought animation is just a dream I gave up on (I'm in med school and I want out lol) but I found you

[@DimiArt]

thanks this is awesome, i still have so much to learn about animation

[@ProfesorSaitama]

Nice work!!!

[@manikantasripathi755]

please make MORE OF THIS KIND!!! love to learn from u😍❤

[@samaan7]

Wow! New tutorial! Thank you, Dong Chang, VERY much for your professional level lessons! Best regards from Yakutia!

[@calogiga]

Thanks thanks for this new tutorial.

[@pranavpprasanth4728]

Really love your work man..... I also loved the animation in decadence too..... You met the director for it ???. I heard he also directed Mob Psycho 100.... if yes.... is he cool??

[@DongChang]

Director Tachikawa-san is really cool! He personally mentored me when I first came to Japan!

[@strzawgarnek4713]

You taught me opentoonz! Thanks for your great tutorials! I watch them while eating breakfast :)

[@cyrilwoollen1270]

Wow! Great! I am trying to lip sync while watching anime frame by frame, some things in my animation are not working. thanks for a good explanation!

[@Shinesart]

OMG thank you very much. I was about to do animation project with anime style and your video just pop up on my recommanded.

[@JaejoongPrincess]

Perfect! I needed this tutorial. I'm working on an anime trailer and have both audios in Japanese and English. I thought I was screwed because I had my voices actors to thw voice acting before doing the animation.

[@evesattler1570]

fantastic information that I could not find anywhere else on KZbin! Thank you so much It would be very cool if you could also make one on animating the eyes in anime, I always find that to be a bit tricky as well, especially the transitionings to more extreme eye poses

[@deepjoshi5898]

please upload more animation crash course or where can I see more videos from animation crash course . these videos are awesome and helpful. please continue these

[@KidWizardCartoons]

Great work. Thanks for sharing.

[@kanjariyaketan]

your tutorials are best. thank you. I like to see your setup for drawing and animation, if it is possible.

[@basiccomponents]

thank you so much, really straight forwad and useful!

[@ExquisiteBean]

Is anime lip sync easier? And is there a reason as to why the lip sync animation is more limited compared to western mouth animation?

[@Jejikitane]

Omg u learned so much!!! Thanks!!!

[@TasadaqHussain-jq9zk]

Really great thank you man

[@Yu-soo]

This was very helpful

[@chrisSandersASX]

[@Kris-sz1ox]

Your videos are really helpful!!!

[@TheComposer1979]

[@tojotka]

Thank you!!! I rlly struggle with lipsync

[@GrayD_Fox]

Is there a tutorial on lip sync where the jaw moves or side profile.

[@DRigg100]

Will animes ever have English dubs replaced with characters lip syncing English mouth movements from the original lip syncing of Japanese mouth movements? that would be amazing!

[@ankrcn]

Thank you so much Sir

[@arrangemonk]

i once did lipsync and i used rhubarb and prepared all the mouth shapes and it also just used 3 of them

[@NkosiNyabasa-q5w]

Plz do more this was helpful

[@AnimatedTdot]

awesome, thanks for sharing

[@Fushi_Eternity]

Thanks for your video

[@swivelkeyring3512]

I wish CSP animation has the same function as this program, I tried animating there and having trouble with the folder management 😅

[@TOSYR]

3:09 Quick Question Dong notes that this would be an inbetween, wouldn't you put a triangle instead of a circle in that case?

[@mehrabahmedhasam5998]

please make a figure drawing video.About how you do shorthand

[@adriandelapaz5754]

Wait open Toonz can reproduce audio when you pass frame by frame.. And its free? ... Time to delete clip studio paint xD

[@SEGAmastergirl]

Clip studio is actually synced with opentoonz, so you can transfer files directly.

[@TOKZyt]

Thank you for the tutorial this is the best more tutorial please Thank you thank you 💗 🇵🇭

[@eddybrockad722]

Love from India 🇮🇳❤

[@evenmorenonsense]

Am I the only one who hates Anime style lipsync? BTW you can 100% automate it in After Effects by making a 3-frame sequence and assigning the time remap to follow the amplitude of the audio; then use Posterize Time to slow it down to 2's or 3's. "Read my lips! Mow-wup-mow-wup-mow-wup!"

[@dDoodle788]

Honestly, I actually kind of love it, a lot of the audience doesn't pay that much attention to the movement of the lips, unless it's a very important scene which is focused on a character's mouth; so isn't it kind of a waste of time to spend so much time on it when most people can't actually even perceive it half the time?

[@_ranellefeliciano]

Hi I've been trying to figure out, is there a way to convert a vector to a raster so I can color it? This is so I can use the fill tool to color the drawings.

[@anxflex]

Thankx .. Man `

[@FizzieBro]

does it works on animate CC?? if so give me how to do that?? thanks at moment i am doing FMP

[@estellemus7180]

urghhh my animation app doesnt any audio functionality

[@Bob_Animation31]

I really love this and I want to ask are you available for work

[@godslayerreginald]

[@rejas3383]

[@elep...h]

[@n3wt581]

Please how can I import 3d into opentoonz

[@MatiasBlackmont83]

thanx for your videos Dong are realy helpfull becose nothing else show a realy japanese animation technique like you!!!! m (_ _) m !!!

[@alen7648]

Great Work ! I would like to learn to animate my drawings I just started using Procreate drawing app. Do you have a starting program or beginners course ?

[@TaliosLintry]

Quick question, how come when you show the work in Open Toons, everything looks pixelated, but the final shot you show looks like anti-aliasing is enabled?

[@hxl2437]

Watch his "quick start guide / animating a head turn" tutorial At the end he explains how to export the animation and activate the antialiasing

[@TaliosLintry]

@@hxl2437 Thanks!

[@henriiee540]

Do you do the lines that indicate colors and stuff in the same layer as the black lines or diff layer?

[@greatveemon2]

isn't it easier to record your mouth talking that dialogue?

[@gemini9775]

thks a lot ^^

[@anything....4486]

Is it really a manual effort? can't it be automated?

[@johnderat2652]

it's very probable that at some point (if not already possible) there's gonna be an AI software which detects syllables in sentences and then matches those to certain images (in this case lip flaps, which are -> closed, semi, open)

[@jacklackner6894]

i'm trying to do spongebob's mouths

[@attari1789]

hey, quick question uhh do you fill the timesheet out before or after you've done the 1st key frames?

[@bobsmithy3103]

Woah, this is pretty cool. Though I feel like it's so quite time inefficient and leaves lots of room for automation.

[@halleq]

👏👏

[@jimmyt.8788]

nono, THANK YOU

[@shemel2522]

whats the anime?

[@SachaGacha]

Deca-Dence
