The joy of lipsync

First go at lipsync and I love it!

Normally we would be given a sound clip to animate to but this time we were given the freedom to choose a phrase

AND

we also have to animate the correct British sign language to it.

Genius idea.

During the process of animating I also found out that a girl in my class who is deaf actually found she could understand more of what was going in old exaggerated animations than the simplistic animation we tend to see today.

It made me think, why don't we have animated cartoons (not just for kids) that sign while talking.

Its not like the actions will be distracting from the plot or anything in fact it could even make the emotions more exciting.

If more animations like this exist, it could make it easier for everyone to enjoy films or series 

together without feeling isolated or different.

Just a thought.
