I've been working on lip syncing over the last week with the Mery rig, I've found out that it is important to act out and create reference videos as it is almost impossible to get the correct movements without it. For this piece I believe that I animated it is a strange way. At first I animated the lip sync and all the small movements on the face and then I went into animating the rest of the body. To me it kinda felt like I was working backwards but I believe the animation turned out really well. I've also managed to work out how to batch render within Renderman which found to be less complicated than I first thought.
Looking back at it now, I believe that a few more tweaks can be made to the last 'in this' sentence with the lip sync and also the arm on the hip seems to move a bit too much, it probably like that due to the change in IK/FK.
Thanks once more to the people who made her. The rig came from MeryProject.com
The final render was possible through the use of Renderman.
