Description Final lipsync assignment for my 2D class.

Up until now it hasn't been too important, but I suppose his dialogue won't make that much sense without being too familiar with the character. So here's a brief background on Honiahaka.

Haka is a studious little wolf pup living in a semi-anthropomorphised world (the animals talk, read, and write and have developed societies, but still walk on all fours and don't wear clothes outside of occasional jewelry or ceremonial clothes). He's currently the apprentice to his pack's local shaman, Matsi.

Haka loves his job as future shaman and is very booksmart...but it's really about the /only/ thing he likes. When his studies are interrupted, he tends to be snarky, sarcastic, and a bit crass, and has mouthed off to Matsi more than once (luckily Matsi is a very patient fellow...in fact, he seems to enjoy teasing his apprentice just to see his reactions).

The one thing that Haka hates more than anything else is doing chores. Hence...this.

omg its amazing! And adding to the mix, I didn't even know there was a term for characters like that. Mine walk on all fours wear some clothes and talk, but I never knew there were people with similarities! That amazing!

This lipsynch is amazing and I can't stop watching it.

Around how long did this take? Did you film reference for the actions?

Thanks!

I long since lost count of the hours, but this was around 3 weeks' worth of work (although granted, some of those weeks' time was dedicated to other projects as well). While it probably would have been wise to film reference, I didn't for this project.
