This week Delio Tramantozzi gave us a lecture on how to approach dialogue. The whole lecture was a walk through of how he animated a dialogue shot from start to finish. Definitely a cool lecture and I learned a ton. I was surprised at the number of times he said he would listen to the dialogue, but since then, I’ve listened to my shot well over 2000 times. Yikes! It gets to the point where you are beyond sick of hearing it and you’re numb. Animating sounds like fun, eh?

For this weeks assignment we were in charge of finding 3 audio clips from whatever source we preferred. I ended up finding clips from Tommy Boy, Dumb and Dumber, and Half Baked. It was really hard finding the right clip that I could still tolerate after working on it for 8 weeks. In addition to finding the clips, we had to sketch thumbnails and film video reference for each clip. I apologize for sync issues with my reference, but I didn’t have my roommate’s camera as I always have had in the past. He went on vacation and took it with him, so I had to film with my webcam and then composite the sound. Unfortunately my webcam doesn’t seem to film in realtime, so it plays slower than the audio. Oh well. Enjoy.
