Lip sync Pass

Here is a lip sync pass brought pretty far.  My mentor Sean Sexton told me about this workflow, animate lips to get mechanics working, then move to the blocking, and start to refine whole animation until polished.  Here is the lip sync

Layouts

Here are 2 different layouts for my shot.
Layout 1
Layout 2
I like the second one more..I think it is a simpler.

Suggestions?

New Dialogue Shot

        So I have been studying a lot of rending techniques for Maya and Mental Ray but I have also been looking for some new dialogue for a new shot I will be working on.  I have posted THIS video which has ten different audio clips that I have chosen to narrow down.  I have chosen number 2.

I have also created the male character using Bishop 2.0
Behold, David!!!

Rendering Tests and New Reel

Hello again, I changed the order and finessed some animation on my demo reel, here is newest update.  DemoReel

Down below are two rendering tests, The top one is a SSS shader by ninja animator Brad Kinley.  The other is some modifications to the regular bishop shader.  I really like the SSS shader!!
