Lip sync

I am up to the point of animating the lips of Fluffy to his original sound track from the creature comforts series. I am using a morphing technique to enable his lips to move to the sound track. I have imported the track which runs for roughly 500 frames. I have created 5 duplicate heads that I have modified to fit with a particular sound of letter. The technique is called 'phoneme' and the letters used are usually, A's E's O's etc and maybe a 'The' sound or an 'F'. I actually enjoy this part of the animation as I feel it brings life to the character which makes him look very realistic and almost human like.

This is a screen shot of the .Max file waiting to be animated to the sound clip.
