Topic: Lip Sync Audio tape and 8mm cine film

This is a little project I did with MoviePlus, In the early 70's I filmed my wife in our garden and had an Audio tape recording her conversation, a short time ago I came across the film and the audio tape, digitised the film and put them both into a Project to Lip Sync them.
Sorry about the Aircraft noise, we lived at the top of a large hill not far from Luton Airport.

A great little video clip, Alan. Thanks for sharing!

Nice job.  Nice family memory.

Re: Lip Sync Audio tape and 8mm cine film

Thank you both, Here's another little Lip Sync I did for a bit of fun. Many years ago I did an Old Time Music Hall, I did an act Impersonating the old music hall artist Gus Elen, the show was recorded, a few years ago I downloaded an old film of Gus Elen and had a go at trying to Lip Sync the old audio recording to the 1930's film.

It's not very good as the phrasing was difficult to match, but I got the speed right adjusting the film and the audio tape, but keeping the tone of the voice right.

Just to point out, this was under my stage name, Alan Clark

Bravo Alan Clark.  Well done all round.  A labor of love, I'm sure. I didn't know anything about Gus Elen -- and that's a great big shame.

Ditto. And ditto.

Oh, very good!

I see from the Wikipedia article about him that he “had packed eggs for the Co-op before becoming a singer.” I’m mildly disappointed that the author of the article passed up the opportunity to write that he had packed eggs from the coop for the Co-op.

Thank you guys, I do love editing. We have Norwegian Elkhounds, my wife Jackie showed them,  we camped at the shows and I used to go along and video all the Elkhound classes and then edit them down for our dog friends, with titles up of the dogs kennel names as they were gone over, but due to mobility probs at 93, last year and this year we've stopped doing the shows. Shame, but that's life.

Alan -- you got me thinking about "looping" dialogue.  Here's an example from about 15 years ago.  We were on a cruise.  I wanted to make a short film drama.  I soon realized there was no place on the ship that was quiet enough to shoot "live sound" .. So I "looped" the whole thing.  Meaning I recorded the dialogue separately and then sync'd it to the picture by hand.
