Ok. First its me again :D everyone loves to hate cause of my videos.
Anyway This video is only a test on how well I can sync the Tf2 sounds to the video basicly. There is no story line or anything just 8 secs of randomness.
I know this forum aint afraid of telling how they are/see things. I need people just to tell me if some of it was in sync and anything to try next time. :P

Interesting way to start a post.
First things first, the lip synching, to be frank is not great, not even decent. When the heavy is saying "Sandvich" he's lips say open the entire time, they come in to the sides a bit, but that's about it. Try saying Sandvich out to yourself. it has 6 basic movements..
S, the lips will be pulled inwards, but not quite touching
Annn, the lips will be fully apart as well as the mouth opening up, maybe showing some teeth.
nD, is the next, the teeth will be together with lips coming towards each other.
Veh, the lips will be against one another but with the teeth over the lower lip and the jaw almost touching
Ehh, i hope you're getting this by now.
Ich, the teeth will be together once more and the lips will be pulled apart from one another.
You definitly need some more work, i'd highly reccomend saying the words to yourself and trying to figure out what kind of face you are making.
Secondly, dont start a post off by saying "everyone loves to have my videos! :D" you are simply asking for criticism in your post, so all you need is "Hey guys! i've been working on my lip synching skills, what do you think? i'd appreciate some criticism. The hate videos thing is not needed and is generally looked down upon.
ah ok. Cheers.

You have way too few frames in your tests. It takes more time, but you need to have more screenshots. Look at the lipsync in the video below and check how many more frames it has.

You could just learn Faceposer you know.
The way you lip sync is not bad.You have the timing right,it's just that the faces have no expression.I'd say look at other videos and give you and idea on how to improve.

This video is a good example.

Not exactly, because Antoine's the apex in gmod stop-motion videos. It's like going to a guy who just learned the violin yesterday and giving him the sheet music for beethoven's fifth and telling him he also has to play all the instruments. Plus, it takes him months to make those videos. Lizzaroro's shorter videos only take a day or two, so it's a better starting point.
Why do you fuckers always make these shitty stop motion animations?
Not saying all of them are bad, just 99.99999999999999999999999999999999% of them suck ass.

this one isn't any better. A previous poster said you need more frames and he's right. Less frames are fine if he is saying it faster but at the rate he is saying it you need to exaggerate your face poses.
in Help Me, in your video his lips NEVER touched, but when you said help me to yourself your lips will touch twice...well maybe once.
H
eh
el
P -These two will have the lips completely together, touching one another.
Meh -^

Ah ok surfur. I did another video (before i read all these reply's). i HOPE this one is at least a 5% improvement on the other 2 xD
Il probably attempt one more and see how it goes. :)

Yea i'd agree, that is about 5% better...but still a lot of room for improvement.
Try doing what i do, take a word and break it down to its basic phonetics.
Peek a' boo
Peh
Ey
keh
B
Oo
you still need a lot more screen shots, it looks as if he only has 3 movements. Which does make sense in its own right, seeing as Peek Ah Boo is 3 words, but like i said before it has multiple facial actions...certainly more than 3 through out the statement.
Look at how Fine Leather Jacket does his mouth poses
If you haven't already watch all his videos he does great lip sync

When I do lipsyncing with stop-motion, I simply imitate the letters one by one with my own mouth, and I just see (feel) how it looks like, and try getting the closest on the faceposer

You're definitely improving, it's just that one of the few MAJOR, MAJOR things wrong with the lip-sync is that it just doesn't have enough frames to it, and gives it a choppy look, as if it's just quickly skipping over rather than actually speaking. If you look at the videos above, you'd notice that the lips of the models when they speak have a fluidity to them. That's what you need to work for, and if you get that, you'll definitely be able to get a lot more positive feedback.
Thanks kiq. Yea il be working alot on gmod to improve my skill
Also one more thingy, remove the watermark
I mean.. well no one will steal your work you know and they are just plain annoying
If you are going to keep the watermark, make it smaller and more stylish at least
Dat Video...

Im not gonna deny it like a little kid. Yes i did copy like 99.9% of his idea. Mainly because I wanted to practise my gmoding skills and thought that video would be a good start. Next videos i wont copy of people.
