Lip Sync: 11 Second Club Audio & Rig
Modelling wasn’t a requirement in this assignment, so I didn’t make any 3D models, instead we were asked to go the 11 second club website and find a pre-made rig (http://www.11secondclub.com/resources) and I chose to use the ‘Max’ rig created by Peter Starostin and James Hunt.
I chose this rig because I wanted to use this rig because I wanted to animate in 3ds Max due to having a lack of knowledge/experience in Maya and most of the rigs from the resources only had Maya rigs whereas the Max rig had rigs for both software.
As for the audio, I looked at the previous entries from most of the recent competitions in the Archives tab of the 11 second club website and was mainly interested in ‘Hamilton’ which was the audio used in the August competition (http://www.11secondclub.com/competitions/august17).
I liked this audio because most of the other audio was just people talking normally and this one stood out and was more interesting to me because it was from the musical and featured singing as well as a piano.
