Hello,
I've been asked to create a few videos for a conference of a 3D Avatar that can talk (using pre-recorded audio, lip synced).
The client sent me an example of what they are looking for.
Do you think this would be possible using this software? 
What products would I need to purchase to achieve this look and functionality?
Is there a huge learning curve... I need to get it done in a month.
*Maybe I should hire someone to help me with this?
Please let me know your thoughts
Thanks!
Jackson

This is what the client sent me as an example:

Hi...

If you just need to animate talking heads, then Crazytalk 8 will be able to help you do that. You could also do it in Crazytalk Animator 3 but for the shortest learning curve CrazyTalk 8 will likely be best.

CrazyTalk 8 works best with a front facing image but you should be able to get acceptable results with the headshot you included. In CT8 you can animate 3D heads or 2D heads but for your particular image you will need to create a 2D head. This is quite easy to achieve once you learn the basics so I think you should be able to complete your project well within a month.

Please see below for more on CrazyTalk 8. This should give you a better understanding of how it works.
