What You Will Learn

You will learn how to animate facial features in a Close Up from one emotion to another using at least three different inbetween paths. You will learn that an infinite number of facial expressions are at the disposal of an animator.

Why Is This Important?

Up until now, the extent of our face acting has been with the Lip-Synching White Hat recipe. Now with 12 or 13 different pieces of face to animate, and a giant Close Up pose, we can really articulate emotions! This recipe taxes the animators ability to let go and experiment with different emotions AND different paths between emotions. Have fun trying out dozens and dozens emotions with these posable facial features.
