*nodnod* "Ing" uses talky-face intentionally, because you have to have it to set up the reaction shots in the choruses. And that's the *thing* about Anya: she goes on and on.

My early vids? I was so feral, I had no idea I wasn't supposed to use clips with flapping mouths. *g* Some of the clips make me cringe. OTOH, I like to think I had decent instincts: most of the time I used clips that *didn't* have flapping mouths. I even remember working to avoid them, but not with any concrete objective. I'd put in the clip I wanted and then think "that looks weird" and take it out, without ever consciously realizing *why* it looked weird.

We learn a lot.
