CSG 4323 3D Animation and Visual Effects: Facial Animation

In this assignment, we worked on syncing lips and faces to a free, public-domain clip of our choice, featuring two characters who talk and interact with each other.

This was an animation assignment where I simply animated the character models; the main focus was putting what I learned about mouth and face motions to create an interaction with 2 or more characters.

I used the 1941 version of Superman from Fleischer Studios and animated a short interaction between Clark and Louis, where louis taps Clark's shoulders.
