Would a step-by-step tutorial on your other channel be possible?
I don't have any screen capture software, so it's a bit tricky. I'll have a think though.
Video tape your computer screen- I need that tutorial as well!

CamStudio is a free and easy to use screen capture software
Or, the Print Screen key! Unless, of course, you have a Mac.

Free and easy to use is exactly what I'm looking for. I'll give it a try.
This won't happen for a while, btw. I'm working on 3 different projects at the moment and they're all behind schedule.
I've tried to do it (inspired by 0ldScratch) with GIMP.

gimp does screen shots i think
What I did is I watched the CreativeCow tutorial for lip-syncing, then expanded on the phonemes they made. I made a template of all the mouth shapes each face needs, and now it's just a matter of customizing the shapes for each minifigure.

Remember to apply blur to match the depth of field.
I tried, I guess I should add some more though.
When I started out doing face animation, I took a lot of reference photos. I'd shoot a frame with the characters on the set with regular printed minifig faces, then animate the rest with blank heads. It helped a lot with sizing, positioning, lighting and working out how much blur to apply. Just remember to delete that one frame afterwards or it looks really weird.
How does everybody do this?!
Adobe Illustrator, Adobe After Effects, the CC Cylinder plug-in, and this tutorial.
