Hello everyone

I am looking for facial animation software, I need something as simple as possible, because all I need to do is create a talking head and I will add effects onto the animation with After Effects.
Basically I don't want to learn character studio because it's a little too complex for what I need. I'm looking for something like poser but that can animate faces. All I need to do is create like a "base" that I will add effects to it, because by the time I'm done with the animation no one will be able to see what the original looke like, I don't care about the quality of the animation.

Thanks

The scarier the better, but something that is very simple. I will add alot of noise and other effects to cover up the simple expressions.

I mostly work with industrial/goth music, so the clips are designed to be if not scary than at least disturbing, kind of like the ghosts in the movie "White Noise".

Poser 6 / Daz Mimic to create the talking head and Adobe After Effects to add all the effects to get the final look.
