Q: When they put together animated movies, what do they do first, voices or animation?
"Nothing is worse than spending countless hours animating a character's mouth to find out that what he says doesn't really work," said producer and audio engineer Bryant Falk in explaining why the voices come first when making an animated film.
Part of this is about making sure the characters seem as lifelike as possible when they're speaking, but part of it is also about capturing the spontaneity of the actors.
