Description

Note: This coursre is out of date (I'm not sure if you can still get this product). I'm publishing it so that I can distribute it for free to my existing Udemy students. I believe this course still has a lot to offer. Please do not buy this course expecting my best information on self-publishing children's books. Instead, become a student via another course and get this one for free ;-).

This is a course for Brian Jackson completists ;-).

Hello and welcome to the course.

This is a course about the use of the CrazyTalk 8.1 3D talking head avatar creator.

Would you like to create a 3D talking avatar from a picture of your face, another's face or even a pet?

This course describes the use of CrazyTalk 8.1 to easily create a 3D talking avatar from one or two pictures of your face. It continues on to demonstrate lip syncing techniques and video generation and how to upload your video to YouTube for sharing via Facebook.

CrazyTalk is both easy and fun to use. It can be used to create talking head videos without having to appear on camera yourself. This technique can be used to display a parade of characters in a single video or to focus on a single newscaster narrator character. Either way, you’re in for fun with this program.

This is an introductory course in CrazyTalk containing everything you need to know to get started fast and to produce incredible talking head videos.

Note: You can work through the course using the 15 day free trial version of CrazyTalk. Then purchase either the Standard version for $29 or the Pro version for $89.

Don't forget Udemy 30-day no questions asked money back guarantee.

I'll see you in the classroom,
