Animation "Made You Look"

Animation lipsync

Social media has become an indispensable part of our lives, profoundly influencing the way we communicate, gather information, and interact with others. In our daily lives, we all rely on social media platforms to communicate, connect, share ideas, and be entertained. This is where influencers, vloggers, tutorial creators, and others come into play.

Let's be honest, we all check our social media apps for new pasta recipes, outfit ideas, family-friendly destinations, or simply for funny videos. The list can go on. The bottom line is that whether we admit it or not, we are all influenced by social media. This led me to an idea: if social media has become such a large industry, why not incorporate CGI into it? Some examples of this are Ami Yamato, Barbie vlogs, Lil Miquela, and others.

Long story short, I came up with my own CGI character called Niki, who is a vlogger featuring her bizarre life adventures. 

The character presented in the following animation is Niki from "nikis.bizarre.adventures," who will perform to the song "Made You Look" by the American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor, incorporating a viral lipsync by the Vietnamese Instagram star Quynh Thi.

Here is the straight-ahead poses animation alongside the reference. Personally, I prefer working with pose-to-pose if I have a very clear reference, as I try to match the reference as closely as possible.
