Muse - Hysteria (DKC cover + lip-sync test)

Hi all,

This is a silly little thing I made mainly to test the lip-syncing capabilities of some DKC models I've gotten a hold of. I'm trying to decide whether to use voice acting in future videos or not. Let me know what you think of Funky's radical singing, and thanks.

(PS. how do I get that youtube forum feature working?)

Well now, that's totally badass. B/

Apart from the movements being rather robotic, I'd say you've done a masterful job of bringing those models to life. :)

Some critique:

  • Funky's singing is pretty cool, and the lip-syncing is passable, but could certainly use some refinement and 'character'.
  • Is it just me, or is there a significant size difference between DK and Funky? Judging by Dixie's apparent size, I would say Funky needs to be scaled up a bit.
  • To avoid confusion, I'd call this something other than a "cover"; my understanding of a cover is that it denotes a new rendition of the audio itself, rather than just a new video accompaniment. Correct me if I'm wrong. :)

Nicely done, anyhow! :funky:

P.S. There's a YouTube embed guide on the Forum Features board, but basically it'd be like this: [youtube]kAwqtSJW7Fg[/youtube]. Remember, there's a 'tool tip' that explains how each BBCode works if you hover your mouse over the relevant button/option.

Why thank you Qyzbud. Yeah, I agree the movements are robotic, it's something I'm trying to work on. You also bring up a good point Funky's size.

I agree that the Kongs are secretly robots with bad butts. Diddy is the most apparent of this to me. Also, yes, Funky should be scaled up, and could also probably move around a bit whilst singing. You've made a neat video though!

Robots with bad butts? But thanks.
