This project was an entire shit show for me.
I chose a clip from Olan Rogers "Echoes Through the Wall" that explains an elaborate Craiglist prank on his loud neighbor that required interested customers to throw glitter in the air and shout "magic" to win a rare owl. I created the rough animation and got about halfway through the cleaner animation; then disaster struck. I turned on my laptop one night to be greeted to a screen with bright stripes and a bunch of a diagnostic tests and updates. Well... this deleted and corrupted a lot of newer files on my computer. All of my hardwork was Thanos snapped into the abyss. Panic mode: activated.
I had to choose something I could do quickly considering critique was the next day. With the holidays, I picked my favorite Christmas movie, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. My family and I quote it a lot especially the phrase, "Save the neck for me, Clarke."
Now, the lip syncing part was actually a lot of fun. I might have looked crazy constantly looking in the mirror to see my mouth shape. There were also a lot of good charts on Google. I watch youtube animators, so they provided good examples of simple lip syncing. A very helpful video is Domic's lip syncing video because it provides word examples to each mouth shape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMWiYIVoDis
I knew pegging was going to be more of a pain this time around because I have the essentials version, so I saved this to quickly do before class time. I saved the Harmony folder and exported video to my hard drive. To my dismay, the folder did not properly save, and the video had layers disappearing throughout playback. I ran back to my dorm for my laptop, and it still would not save properly to my hard drive unless I copied it, which I did. However, the file was missing certain components when opened Mac. I said whatever and tried to peg what I could on my laptop. The exported video this time did properly play with everything accounted for until it played on the board. The audio disappeared; go figures. I don't understand why it worked on my laptop but not on Mac.
Eventually, I just added the audio in Premiere Pro.
