00:00:00.410 --> 00:00:03.188
Recording trigger animation separately makes the

2
00:00:03.188 --> 00:00:06.474
whole animation process much easier.

3
00:00:06.474 --> 00:00:09.482
All right, so now that we've got our audio

4
00:00:09.482 --> 00:00:13.348
take and we've got our base take, it's time

5
00:00:13.348 --> 00:00:16.468
for the third take for this little animation, and

6
00:00:16.468 --> 00:00:18.394
that's going to be any triggers.

7
00:00:18.394 --> 00:00:20.308
So the first thing you'll want to do on

8
00:00:20.308 --> 00:00:24.036
that third pass or take is turn off the

9
00:00:24.036 --> 00:00:27.948
properties or behaviors that you don't want to use.

10
00:00:27.948 --> 00:00:31.980
So I'm going to turn off recording phase, right?

11
00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:34.258
So I'm going to not have that armed,

12
00:00:34.258 --> 00:00:36.690
and I'm going to turn on the triggers.

13
00:00:36.690 --> 00:00:38.316
And again, this just makes

14
00:00:38.316 --> 00:00:40.406
recording performances a lot easier.

15
00:00:40.406 --> 00:00:43.360
Rather than trying to hit buttons at exactly

16
00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:45.094
the right time while you're talking, while you're

17
00:00:45.094 --> 00:00:48.832
moving to make all this work.

18
00:00:48.832 --> 00:00:50.420
Now, I'm going to need to

19
00:00:50.420 --> 00:00:53.124
know what triggers I've got available.

20
00:00:53.124 --> 00:00:58.148
So with Rob here, I can hit a to blink and

21
00:00:58.148 --> 00:01:01.754
s for a little bit of a different eyebrow shape.

22
00:01:01.754 --> 00:01:06.230
Okay, so let's say I wanted to blink twice,

23
00:01:06.230 --> 00:01:11.190
then talk, and then do his little eyebrow thing. Okay?

24
00:01:11.190 --> 00:01:14.552
Now, before I hit record, you should know that there's no

25
00:01:14.552 --> 00:01:18.028
pressure to get it just right, because as soon as you

26
00:01:18.028 --> 00:01:20.428
get the content in, we can read time, all of that.

27
00:01:20.428 --> 00:01:21.612
So here we go.

28
00:01:21.612 --> 00:01:29.440
I'm going to hit record, hit a people, and then

29
00:01:29.440 --> 00:01:35.008
s and hit record again to turn it off. Okay?

30
00:01:35.008 --> 00:01:36.592
And you can see that down here under

31
00:01:36.592 --> 00:01:39.550
triggers, I've got my blink and my eyebrows.

32
00:01:39.550 --> 00:01:42.768
And if I zoom in, you can see I've got that

33
00:01:42.768 --> 00:01:45.044
little bit of a track that shows me where he's going

34
00:01:45.044 --> 00:01:49.706
to blink, and maybe I want him to blink twice.

35
00:01:49.706 --> 00:01:51.268
So let's go ahead and shorten that

36
00:01:51.268 --> 00:01:53.590
one and move it up the front.

37
00:01:53.590 --> 00:01:55.528
And if I want another blank, I

38
00:01:55.528 --> 00:01:59.570
can just right click and blink.

39
00:02:01.510 --> 00:02:06.150
So he's got two blinks, and then he talks.

40
00:02:06.730 --> 00:02:09.723
Now I want him to do the eyebrow thing a

41
00:02:09.723 --> 00:02:12.280
little bit closer to when he's done talking there.

42
00:02:14.970 --> 00:02:16.658
All right? And then, who knows?

43
00:02:16.658 --> 00:02:18.280
Maybe he blanks one more time.

44
00:02:19.690 --> 00:02:25.640
Okay, so now we've got hey, there, people,

45
00:02:27.690 --> 00:02:30.012
a lot more sort of life and energy.

46
00:02:30.012 --> 00:02:33.092
We can retime different triggers, and

47
00:02:33.092 --> 00:02:35.188
it's pretty much ready to go.

48
00:02:35.188 --> 00:02:42.100
So those three passes, audio, then face, then triggers will,

49
00:02:42.100 --> 00:02:44.132
in the end, save you a lot of time because

50
00:02:44.132 --> 00:02:46.570
you can focus in on those three different domains separately.
