"On behalf of Expert Village this is Paul Louis and today I'm going to give you some basic iClone Machinima Filmmaking Tips and Techniques. Now let me click on tools and facial animation. Now you click on modify and you can basically import a wave or record your own dialog by clicking the record button and speaking into your microphone. And then when you play it back it will automatically play but I don't want to give away the dialog right now for this scene so I'm going to cancel that but in theory that's what you would do. Just for the sake of getting his mouth moving to show you how his mouth moves once you've recorded the dialog. I'm going to go to tools and I'm going to click on facial animation template and just I'm going to just use like a default dialog. And I won t turn up the sound because I don't want you to hear the dialog but I just want to show you how the characters mouth moves. And then of course you go to tools and facial animation and modify, click on an expression that you want while he's speaking. So I can click on like this like Toady and, you know, this kind of gives him kind of a goofy look on his face but I don't think I'm going to use that expression. I think I'll go up here, maybe click on something a happy, gAive him more of a bright kind of quality to his face."
