[Yes, I know this is for free jobs, but it's such a small job and I can only afford to pay $50 as it's a little hobby thing, it really doesn't qualify as freelance work]
I'm on my Christmas break, and as I'm a bit of a sad programmer type, I'd like to spend some time having a go at automated lipsyncing. I have a simple mouth model I purchased from TurboSquid, but I need it rigged with a few bones (nothing else, just bones) and the Skin modifier (not Physique, can't export with Physique) and then I need ten simple animations, each of which is a 5 frame animation in a still pose. I'm using 3dsMax 9, so it really needs to be done in 3dsMax 9. If you have an older version of 3dsMax, I could send the model in an alternate format like FBX, but I cannot work with a more recent version of Max.
Here's what the model looks like (there are a few more polys than this wireframe suggests, but not too many more):

Here are the ten poses I want, each as a 5 frame animation :

It's highly unlikely that I will release anything, but if I do put a demo up on my website, I'll credit whoever does the work. If you have PayPal, I'll give you $50 for your trouble. I know it's not much, but I'm sure an experienced animator could crank this out in no time, and you can buy a game on Steam or something for your trouble. I can't afford to pay any more because it's only for personal use.
