Well, I'm trying to make four kids sing doo-wop. I've prepared one child's picture in Photoshop by creating six different mouth shape layers: rest, pmbv, lstn, eh, ah, oh, ooh. Then in AE I nested a precomp of these layers (one frame each, sequenced) together and time-remapped to change mouth shapes.
After getting the timing right, there's something missing. Perhaps the figure needs more movement; I've used the puppet tool and it helps a bit but I'm wondering if there's a certain something that really sells it. The eyes? The whole face? Hands? Focusing attention on something else?
