Jayko Films

Hello there, I'm not entirely sure if this is the correct forum to post this in, but I am a brickfilmer, and few friends and I would like to create a Lego animation which features dialogue and also facial animation. In the past this has typically been done in post, but I would like to give it a try actually manipulating the faces. I came across some really terrific decal templates by Capt. Kirk a number of years ago, but they do not contain all of the basic mouth positions essential to animation: http://0.tqn.com/d/animation/1/S/7/2/mouthpositions.jpg Just wondering whether there are any graphic designers out there who might like to help me out? And if you'd like to see the sort of animation my friends and I have done in the past, here is an example: Cheers, Jayko

Greetings, My name is Jayko, though in the past and in other forums I've been known as Jayko8646. My favorite theme is Castle, and I'm primarily a Brickfilmer. The last film which I made with my friend was a commissioned piece in which a live concert band performed a "sinfonia" beneath a screen with this playing on it: But we'll be starting work on another, more narrative film this month. Looking forward to being a part of the forum! -Jayko

Hello LuxorV, Ah yes, I see what you mean. I was unaware about it being bad practice and will take more care in the future. Thanks for the welcome. Perhaps I can send out a request to the general community for an animate-able face design. I'll give it a go. :)

Hello, I am interested in using these for a Lego animation. I am wondering if you could produce five of the standard faces making the 5 basic vowel sounds with their mouths?
