Theory?

well I've jsut found oput today after a few words with my lecturer, that I'm also going to have to do some in-depth theory based research into an area related to this project. Since this is really my first attempt at animating to dialogue, the practiceal process is going to quite a hard task in itself. But I guess, the theory side of things would be useful as well, I've just got to explore a few ideas, I'm thinking something concerned with body language and how we communicate behaviour through it. I think I'm just going to go looking for somthing relevent to dialogue based animation, that would probably be more sensible.

Might be worth exploring the history of dialogue in animation, eg: where the concepts for phenomes come from who was responsible.

I think the theory side of this project is probably going to have a snowballing effect where ideas relevent to the subject of lip sync and acting, are just going to grow and grow.

On the Fun side of the fence, the practical side, Igor is starting to take shape as a 3d character. He has no head yet, or arms. As soon as he's looking close to ready, I'll get him up here.

Anyhoo
