Dear Gavin,
It's hard to sum up a list of tips for creating a piece like this. The first
tip that comes to mind is .. get plenty of rest.
Creating an artificial actor that could talk seemed pretty straight forward
when I started.. but it took quite a bit of work to get done.
There are so many different elements that go into creating a talking head. A
good suggestion for anyone that is interested in doing lip-synch work is to
study lip-reading practices for the deaf. You learn how sounds are created,
and what visual clues to look for when reading someones lips, face, throat, and
body language.
I have to go now. Thanks again.
