In this 2-disc set, ReelFX Creative Studios animator Justin Barrett meticulously explains essential techniques for facial animation using Hash's Animation:Master. Justin takes you step-by-step through detailed methods for creating subtle and cartoony facial expressions.

Learn how to create believeable facial animation with this 2-CD set, which contains 3.5 hours of high-resolution, fully-narrated video. Topics discussed include:

* Observation and planning
* Animation for eyes, eyelids, eyebrows, and mouth, designed around a short sample clip
* Application of traditional animation principles to facial animation
* Detailed lip-sync demonstrations using both 3D and 2D mouth designs
* Facial rigging and animation techniques specific to each design

While Animation:Master was used to demonstrate these concepts, the topics discussed can be applied to facial animation in any package. Very few program-specific tools are used.

Approximately 3.5 hours of video at 1024 x 768. Models, project files, actions, and sample movies are included on the discs.
