In this 2-disc set, ReelFX Creative Studios animator Justin Barrett meticulously explains essential techniques for facial animation using Hash's Animation:Master. Justin takes you step-by-step through detailed methods for creating subtle and cartoony facial expressions. "My approach is a combination of ideas and techniques that have come from a variety of sources and through personal experience," says Barrett. "You might call it a layered approach to facial animation, and especially lip sync. I feel that it allows for much greater flexibility during animation, and adds more life to the end result." Among the topics covered: Observation and planning for facial animation * Animation for eyes, eyelids, eyebrows, and mouth, designed around a short sample animation * Application of traditional animation principles to facial animation * Detailed lip-sync demonstrations using both 3D and 2D mouth designs * Facial rigging and animation techniques specific to each design Approximately 3.5 hours of video at 1024 x 768.
