Mouth Charts for Lip Sync

In case anyone needs some references for mouth shapes, I am going to reblog the link Will found this week: http://minyos.its.rmit.edu.au/~rpyjp/a_notes/mouth_shapes_01.html

Plus this one for simpler characters: http://minyos.its.rmit.edu.au/~rpyjp/a_notes/mouth_shapes_02.html

Plus this creepier one that may help when we get to 3D: http://www.garycmartin.com/phoneme_examples.html

You can also search for other charts. Blog them if you find good ones!
