Lip Sync Tutorial

Lip Sync

During the lip sync tutorial we learnt to  apply a base clip and sync the music to match the lips or actions of the artist/band. This proved to be quite simple as when you click a button you can see the sound waves and match it rather than trying to visually sync. However the difficult part of this task was to catch the beat and mark it at a consistency which sometimes proved for the markers to be misallocated.

Our lip sync video was a classic case of using editing to make something out of nothing because we had the lyrics to Surfin in the USA however we had did not have the track to hear so instead we diverted into using a different but similar track called fun fun fun. Where the best we could do would be to sing the chorus and improvise on actions to correspond to the bubbly song itself such as surfing on a bench and generally acting like an over excited student. But as mentioned the editing saved the task as the lips were perfectly synced and the actions met the beat. Overall I feel that it could have been improved simply if we had either of the lyrics to the songs as we could  have developed a far more professional looking video as well as not using the same clips over and over.

Overall I am pleased with the conclusive outcome of the video, regardless of the recycled clips as I was really able to grasp the task and familiarise myself the tools I needed to use. If we had longer I would reshoot the clips and fluster them through the video, I'd also ensure that we had the correct lyrics.
