What is SERIFU? Animating lip sync action in Anime

Our favorite old man Dayle explains the simplistic and innovative system of animating lip sync in anime!
Note: the timesheet section is just a demonstration of how we write dialogue, it's in the wrong column in this video 😅

I kinda prefer the Anime form of lip sync animation. It's not as time consuming, but I do believe simply moving the mouth based on the emotions being displayed isn't solely good enough. Sometimes, you definitely need to draw the chin moving for whenever a character is screaming.

[@WorldAnimeNetworks]

True! We have cases when the chin, jaw, or even the whole body moves. It all depends on the movement and scene.

Thank you for the tutorial! I’ve been trying to figure how to do it my self but needed more clarification 😅

[@WorldAnimeNetworks]

You’re welcome 😊

[@Aviann_Lisath]

Wow

[@KaitoKaze]

in my experience from outsource animation contract from japanese studio, some use system AIUEO mouth too in 2D, and even more at 3D, but is depended on the studio and budget too

I don't understand how to use timesheets. Also what does this type of arrow mean 0:20 ??

[@WorldAnimeNetworks]

Hello! Maybe we'll make a video on explaining timesheets. The arrow shows the direction of movement from the previous keyframe.

@@WorldAnimeNetworks oww ok thanks really appreciate it :>

[@philip4658]

Just one question: do you redraw various mouth phases along with character on each frame? Or draw mouth on separate layer, so you don't need to redraw it but just copy-paste?

[@WorldAnimeNetworks]

There are many ways to separate or join a character and the serifu, but usually they are separated from each other into different cells. :)

Lets try

[@ajanimation8239]

I will say that this probably wouldn't work as well for animal characters as it would with human characters.

[@jonathancharron7360]

But when it’s just the mouth moving up and down, the rest of the animation feels lifeless.
