Lip sync and blocking plus.

I meant to update this yesterday, but totally forgot. I have a first pass of blocking on the lip sync done, and most of blocking plus done. I've always felt like lip syncing, like a good walk, is one of the hardest things to do in animation. It's not just about making it seem like the sounds are coming from the character, its much deeper than that. You need to show the emotion, to form the shapes in way that character would, to give it texture and contrast. Lip sync to me, like a good walk, needs to be tailored to each character individually, and to that particular scene.
