Editing my lip sync
- 1. EDITING MY LIPSYNC Owen Davison
- 2. The first thingI did to begin my lip sync was to decide what song I was actually going to lip sync. I chose The Beatles song ‘Rock Racoon’. Then I lip synced in front of a green screen. With the help of my friends, who did the camera and lighting work, this process was made efficiently and effectively. I decided to lip sync at different angles so that I could cut into different scenes. After this was done, I imported my videos from my camera onto the computer, and then on to Sony Vegas (this can be seen on the picture).
- 3. The next processwas importing a background picture which would fit in with the genre of the music I was lip syncing. I found the perfect picture on the internet, that included a speech bubble with some of the lyrics of the song in it. To get this in the background of my video I had to go to Video FX, then to Chroma Keyer, and then green screen. When I pressed this a few bars came up, as seen in the picture. I had to move these until I was a perfectly solid object in front of the background. If I did not get it perfect then I could look almost see through on the video. This was a very time consuming process, but once it was done my video looked a lot more slick and attractive.
- 4. After the videoand background image were imported onto Sony Vegas, it was time to now put the music on. Once this was done I had to move and edit my videos to fit them in to place so that my lips were moving at the right time. This wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be, and I encountered some difficulties with time and getting it 100% perfect. I eventually overcome the limitations of making the lip sync and my video started to fit together and look very exciting.
- 5. The hardest partof making my video was over and done with, and now I could move on. I began to add transitions to the piece. This made the video look more dense and complete, as well as being very eye catching. I also decided to fade my video in at the beginning and out at the end to make it look more finished.
- 6. Finally, my videowas complete. I then rendered it and put it on to the blog. However, I encountered another problem when doing this, as the computers in school did not have enough storage to transfer it onto the blog, and my computer at home had the same problem. This was, however, resolved with the help of my teacher, who had enough storage on her computer to get it on my blog. My finished piece can be viewed on my blog under the post that this is on. Hope you enjoy!
