I'm an amateur animator and a professional videographer & video editor living in Canada. If you want to know more check out my website at www.graydenlaing.net
My quick and dirty stop motion short "Smokey's Rage" was just selected to be in the Atom Films Showdown so if you have a moment please view it and vote for it at http://www.atom.com/showdown. I'm the underdog in the competition so I'm going to need as many votes as I can get. Voting ends on Thursday July 31. Thanks for all your help!
That's a good tutorial. I'm going to put a link to it on my animateclay.com news soon. Lots of people always ask how to do that, so now they will know.

Thanks Marc! I used Toon Boom Studio 4.0 to break the voice down and then I tweaked the lipsync while animating in Dragon 1.0 with a Canon 40D. I have a breakdown of my lip sync approach on my website here: http://www.graydenlaing.net/animation_lipsync.html.
That's definitely a good idea. The problem with the clip is that there is another one that needs to go in front of it for it all to make sense and (hopefully) be funny.
Oh ok! Well hopefully we will see it soon. Sounds great!
Thanks for your comment on my lipsync test! I left the mouth open a little longer at the end for humour.... but I guess it didn't work that well I'll just have to make another!
Sure thing man! It would have probably worked a little better had exaggerated the word movie. Maybe like "let's watch a Mmmooovviee" Then you could have a silly expression on his face and left the mouth open a little longer and that would have been funny. You did great though Grayden. Way better than any of my first lip-sync animations. Just throwing an idea at you.
Thanks for the links to all your sources. I might be able to get that book, and I have gotten Marc's mouth replacement video a while back. I haven't been doing much for clay animation these days, but it still is someplace with in me. I have a feeling im going to drift away, since I am planning on doing live action, and VFX for college studies.
I'll just have to make another!
