There is more to
lip-syncing than mouth shapes, the performance of you character needs to convey
what they are saying.
Screening:
Creature
Comforts is a franchise originating in a 1989 British humorous
animated short film of the same name. The film describes how animals feel about living in a zoo,
featuring the voices of the British public "spoken" by the animals.
It was created by Nick Park and Aardman Animations. The film later became the basis of a series of
television advertisements for the UK Electricity Board, and in 2003 a television series in the same style was released. An American version of
the series was also made.
