231. NEW HAIRCUT!
3 years ago
I walked around with a song playing in my headphones, and recorded myself singing. When I got home I opened it in iMovie and added an MP3 of the actual song, and synchronized it with my video. Is there a name for this? If not, I suggest "lip dubbing".

Music by Apes & Androids
apesandandroids.com

Next time I want to walk to synchronize my steps with the beat.

    That is an awesome song. I love how huge your eyes get when you sing.
  • Ben Millett 3 years ago
    Yeah, I was noticing this too, especially when you tilt the camera up and your head back (@ 1:08).

    is there a music video done like this? if not, there definitely should be
  • Paul McClintock plus 3 years ago
    It looks like apes and androids have just been saved the time and effort of making one.
  • Jakob Davis 2 years ago
    all music videos are done like this.

    i know this a little dated...haha..sorry bout that.

    okay... why was i watching out for cars for you? it looked like you were in the street and weren't looking both ways when crossing. =)

    I was being careful, but thanks :)

    It was in Little Italy, on Mott st, which is only one lane and traffic was pretty stagnant.

    Your such a rockstar.

  • Remyyy plus 3 years ago
    Ca rend vachement bien ! It's really cool ! It's always a great effect the background movement with the face relatively static ! Like it ! (the song too)
  • Remyyy plus 3 years ago
    The song is awesome !
  • The Baumer 3 years ago
    agree

    Cool. Your more facially expressive than most people singing along to music.

    It's a good thing.

    When i did the bangers and mash video, i had to use the same process: Record the video of me singing along to the song, then go back & import the mp3 into imovie and synch the two up. It's a pain in the ass.

    I'm pretty sure it took you a lot longer to make this video than most people suspect. Great job.
  • Jake Lodwick plus 3 years ago
    It really didn't take long! When I recorded myself, I went to the end of the song, so it was easy to sync up. I think it took
  • Remyyy plus 3 years ago
    Is that the all song or you've make a cut at the middle or maybe before ? Is there a way to hear it ? (just a question, that's not on the myspace page)
  • Jake Lodwick plus 3 years ago
    I cut near the end. It's a complete song, but that version is a demo and I'm not sure they want it released yet.
  •  
  • Amanda 3 years ago
    They should release this as an official video.
  • Paul McClintock plus 3 years ago
    Totally.
  • F.o.l.l.y 3 years ago
    3rd'd
  • CygnusX1 3 years ago
    indeed, that would become viral and it's a unique idea.

  • aaannnaaa 3 years ago
    were you singing out loud? you're awesome... but i've told you that before... ;)
  • Jake Lodwick plus 3 years ago
    I was just mouthing it, that was nerve-wracking enough. I guess I could muster the nerve to actually sing but it would be tough!

    Do another!!! Please!
  • Jake Lodwick plus 3 years ago
    Why don't YOU make one??
  • Remyyy plus 3 years ago
    It could be really great if some people use the same process for a song they choose (the same song for all) then editing the all like this.
    Anyway, it probably makes 30 times and it's always great ! (I know, I'm a bit crazy but when I like something, I like hearing or watching it a lot)
  • aaannnaaa 3 years ago
    i could try... don't promiss... but i could!
  • Remyyy plus 3 years ago
    That's the last time I'm making a comment, I promiss but I'm thinking about this song a lot and an """idea""" is stocked in my head. So I have to write it ! Making the same thing with every members of the group in different places, environment, trying to have similar way to hold the camera. Then mixing the five shots during the song changing with the tatatatatam. It's really pretentious to write this and say it's an idea, so I'm sorry !

    i couldn't do this because there is always a word or two i don't know and i sing it wrong and this would just show my weakness.
  •  
  • jendreams 3 years ago
    When I'm in the city, I walk around singing without headphones on. It's so noisy that no one can hear you until you get really close, and by that time you're half passed them (if you walk like I do: FAST). I guess I probably just look like another crazy person walking along the street...and not nearly as cool as you do in this clip!

  • Paul McClintock plus 3 years ago
    If this doesn't become the next craze, I'll give everyone a dollar.

  • Jake Lodwick plus 3 years ago
    At least call it "lip dubbing" or otherwise link back to us!
  • estebanyan 3 years ago
    'Lip Dubbing' it is and nice work coming up with it. We had so much fun running around, and it's the easiest music video you will ever make. I'd love to see more from everybody. my advice is pick a song you know the words to.
  • freshraisin 3 years ago
    done. Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Speaking of which:

    Dude what do you use to keep the camera on face, I want one.
  • Jake Lodwick plus 3 years ago
    I just aimed it at my face. I guess it's just practice?

    I use a little Canon SD630, so there's no screen to look at or anything.

  • swatt 3 years ago
    is it a pain to find the right synch point? How about if you start on the timer on the screen when da song starts?

    i am instantly in love with this song. just like that. if anyone has a link? or a torrent...
  • Jake Lodwick plus 3 years ago
    their music hasn't been officially released yet because they still have to finish mixing & mastering, and they can't even do that until they finish writing and recording all the other songs. so it will be a few months unfortunately.

    How does it feel to have so many people latching onto something that you created?

    Seems to have been a crazy year for you

    Tell the band to release that song. You got your first customer here.

  • James Button 7 months ago
    You're the only one who has really pulled this off. I used to do this years ago. But I never uploaded the vids... It's a good idea to do with TV shows too. Get a bunch of friends and each person takes a part and speaks with the TV.
