I created this video for a weekly show that is starting. Everything was composed and animated in CrazyTalk Animator. Obviously it could be improve but because of time constrains, we decided to publish it. Leave your feedback. Thanks.

Sound is bad, unintelligble for the most part.

Videos to be effective need careful articulation of words.

If the actor is speaking with ethinic differences this is even more important.

Get a Zoom h2 recorder, which has 4 built in microphones. Then move sound into editor for best sound. 

You get best sound at reasonable price with Zoom H2.  I gave up on microphones and my lapel mic cost more than the Zoom H2.

Yes, it creates excellent separate sound file.  You must then sync your sound file with video in editor.

Sound quality is ok. In regards to articulation...as I said there was not time to start creating additional phonemes and they got lost with some of the animation and he speaks too fast which introduces another problem. He does have an accent but from that to say sound is unintelligible, I don't agree.

Hi Janet,

I think it was very good of you to put your stuff up here, it's a start :-) I assume that you are new with the product and that you will be polishing up those quirks in the future. In the beginning stages, what's important is that you keep on having faith in your original idea and that you are aware that from:

IDEA in your head

to:

IDEA materialized on screen

there is a huge walk ahead of you....but hey, if animation is in your blood, it should be a fun walk (most of the time) ...right? You seem to have the drive, so I hope you can keep it up until your idea crystallizes just the way you want it.

All the best, and keep on the good work!

K

Nicely done Janet. A simple setup but it works very well and some nice animation too.

I don't agree with Rampart about the sound. I could understand it perfectly well and the quality was certainly acceptable for the purpose it was used.

You are right Kawatzakka. This is the first time I use this program. So this project was a real hands on experience lol. I am a videographer and graphics artist but have never done this kind of animation. But it's a challenge that I am willing to conquer.

Thanks for commenting.
