Pride is only for lgbt+ people. Straight cis people are not allowed to be allies or stand up and support us. It’s just not a thing.

We will actually have gaydars this year, at the entry to pride. There will be a whole security thing you’ve got to go through first. They’re gonna wave you down with queer detectors just to make sure no cis straights get in there.

If you’re a bisexual or pansexual dating the opposite gender and you want to bring your s/o you might as well go home right now. Please do not bring your cis straight friends or significant others to pride. Even if your circle is full of cis straight people and a lot of the people you love and care about and who supported your through your lgbt journey, are cis and straight.

You might offend somebody by appearing to be straight and remember, pride is about making people feel comfortable and accepted and welcome so we just can’t have any of that. Same with like, trans people who might appear cis or really any lgbt+ person who doesn’t appear lgbt+.

I mentioned on twitter that I wanted to do a lip sync tutorial and immediately got some people who were interested so I put one together real quick!

I’m going to use a bit of unfinished lip sync from my taz animated part as reference. They’re just gifs so no sound, but you should still be able to tell that he’s saying “I’d say a solid B… Solid B minus.”

Anyone who’s looked up how to do lip sync has seen phoneme charts. Phonemes are just the shape your mouth makes when you make certain sounds.

When you do lip sync, you want some kind of reference to make sure it’s right

What’s easiest is to say it yourself and pay attention to the shapes your mouth is making. Since you’re going frame by frame, your audio is slow enough that you can make each shape slowly and distinctly and you can get each individual phoneme down in the animation.

Don’t do this.^

An easy way to tell if you’re animating lip sync wrong is if you run out of frames to make each shape. You don’t need them! Making each shape is unnatural. People talk quickly and the mouth doesn’t have the time to get into each shape. They blend together, sometimes to the point where the shape doesn’t change at all!

Not only does the 2nd gif take less frames and energy to make, it’s more relaxed, it looks less distracting, and his lips are much easier to read!

These are reference charts to show the differences more clearly

This is the difference between getting swallowed up in every last detail and paying attention to reality.

…alllll the way…

…and we cut from “security monitor”…

…to “real life”…

…you might think the biggest issue is a missing Mystery Machine and some new sign dots.

Nope.

But there are darker forces at play.
