Gently, gently, in the middle of the night practice - dialogue

I looked at the lip synch and tried an experiment: clicked in the audio file offset and added 2 frames so that the sounds appeared 2 frames later than when I was animating. The darn thing looked better.

Reduced the extremes, removed some poses for clarity and subjectivity.

Exploring Dialogue Delivery

I have learnt not to try to fit a square character into a round hole. Next assignment I'll make sure the character and dialogue match from the start.

I have made some more staging adjustments and reduced the broadness of the final body moves. There still is some polish to do on that section after the changes.

Best thing is that I'm enjoying the process.
