Conclusion

My feelings and something I have learnt from this experience:
I'm so sorry I was unfortunately infected with the Covid during the week of cooperation, and I only helped the second grade with a small part of the shot.
In the process of cooperation, I found that this is actually very different from our usual practice. We need to communicate more with our year2 to complete the work. After I tried to understand the synsis and drew a short rough animtion that I thought was fine, but it didn't satisfied the second grade. Our ideas diverged, so I realized that communication is very important in teamwork, which can avoid a lot of unnecessary duplication of work. Even so, there may still be situations where we disagree with the visual representation of a shot.

lipsync recorded

original video
The reference video I chose came from a variety show, two artists were imitating the conversation between mother and daughter. It is a mother-daughter battle(fight) in daily life.
(Translation: m:It's because you don't even know how to say good things to the elders...
d:I'm not going to eat! m:Why aren't you eating!?(angry))
This is an interesting mother-daughter quarrel dialogue. I chose the character of the Lady Tremaine in Cinderella to play the mother. I think it will be very interesting to use a Disney character to interpret a story in another cultural background, meanwhile the two mothers have completely different personalities, which also brings a contrasting effect to this performance.
I created a scene where a mother is having a conversation with her daughter while making kimchi.
 I try to draw the movement of the face first.Because the speech speed of this audio is very fast, I try to keep up with the speed to draw the mouth shape, and the body movement only has a rough sketch, which also makes me not as organized as the last lip sync work when I continue this work. 
And Christina gave me the feedback said the movement feels very static in terms of position.
