Hi guys,
Glad you like it so far. The total will be about 5 minutes long when done. I stated it over a year ago. It was my second atempt at organic modeling. That being said, the hardest part is that you get better after a year then you start hating the first part that's been rendred! I'm still learning smart morphs. Me and expressions aren't the best of friends: P
Kumar, I think i have about 9 mouth morphs, 4 brow morphs and 4 eye morph. I add more as needed. The lipsinc is all hand keyed. I would listen to the VO and make a dope sheet listing all the frame numbers and mouth positions. I would then block them in mixing all the morph shapes, then go back and clean them up and tweak the curves on the motion. It gets a bit tedious after a while. Hope this helps. If i missed an explaination, just ask.

Pete
