I have CS3 Master Collection but I sure could use some pointers. Can you help?

[DR - sure Rusty.

First off, you can check out Aharon's tutorial on lip-synching
http://cowcast.creativecow.net/podcast/lip-syncing-in-after-effects--90

Here's another one:

Another technique you can look at employing with CS3 is the new Puppet tool. A quick look on the web showed a basic approach but not quite what you're looking for:

Hope this helps,
