John Fowler7 said:I get that I need to record and play music. But how do I sync the music with the lip movements? Like that Beyoncé parody on YouTube. I'll film people singing, move the footage to my computer, strip the audio from the clip, but then how do I actually make the song match the mouth movements?
Man, you are overcomplicating things for no reason...
1. If you want to look "urban," grab a subway through the city and shoot street scenes, then slap on some effects (you know, blur, grain, smudge...). Then just stand at a busy intersection late at night for a few hours, speed the footage up, and sprinkle those clips throughout the video. Boom. You’ve got a real music video.
2. If you want a "rural" vibe, round up the crew and go eat some BBQ somewhere while slamming some red wineeeee—and let the local diner or the car wash pay for everything since they're technically the sponsors (just toss their logo in there discreetly).
3. If you want to be actually modern, just shoot static shots of body parts (half a face looking down, half a face looking away, a hand, a shoulder, the back of a head... stuff like that) alternating between the lead singer and some hot model (if the singer is female, find a metrosexual guy). Then throw in some shots of a feather blowing in the wind, a rusty lighthouse, water dripping... basically anything visually catchy. Edit them faster and faster as the song progresses, building up to an orgasmic climax of sound and color.
He wants to synchronize...
