It most certainly was. SGI ER's audio matching was used to create the effect.
It lets you sync audio to the movement of your morph. In this case, in made Mr.
Sandman (the dog) appear to be speaking normal French-Canadian.
If you like, you can order our demo-cd that has a 3 1/2 minute av clip which
includes the full talking dog sequence from Northern Exposure. Just give sales
a ring at (608)273-9240. AVI, Quicktime and SGI movoe format files are provided
on the disc.
Personally, the talking dog thing is one of my favorite ER effects to watch and
listen to.
