They Might Be Giants - New York City - unsynched

[jhester25]

sadly, I had a synched version posted that I had figured out how to do later, and it was eventually pulled off.

[pineapplesandjellies]

How to view this synched:

1. Open the video in two tabs/windows. Pause both at the beginning. We'll call them Tab 1 and Tab 2. Tab 1 will be providing the video and Tab 2 will be providing the sound.

2. Mute Tab 1.

3. Start Tab 1 playing until a few words are displayed on screen. Pause it.

3. Start Tab 2 playing.

4. Quickly switch to viewing Tab 1 and be ready to press play.

5. Press play when the words you can hear match the words you can see.

6. Enjoy the rest of the song synched!

[pineapplesandjellies]

If you get it slightly wrong and the video's ahead of the words, click pause/play twice quickly in Tab 1.

If you get it slightly wrong and the video's behind the words, go to Tab 2 and click pause/play twice quickly. Return to Tab 1 to view.

Love that song......Nice Job!!!

Thank you

[Artist4Justice]

WOW! I muted the vid and played the song separately. It's amazing when it's in sync :D That must have taken some real determination. I love it

[zachydj]

excellent. nice job

[BionicDance]

One of my favorite bands covering a song by one of my other favorite bands...does it get any better?

[Blue387]

I am impressed.

[bigglewings]

Great song, and well done. Cub does it sexier though.

[BCThunderthud]

I'm hearing this version for the first time (how did I not know about this?) and it's actually pretty great. Color me pleasantly surprised.

[FrancisKubrick]

it's not really an animation. it's just words.

[polkacrazy]

woah, congrats, that was great.

[niloo86]

wOw! awesOme! =] I LOVE NEW YORK CITY

[astayonix]

Awesome! :)

[freshnyc]

that was fantastic! rage!

[thatamericangirl]

That was so awesome. I like how you snuck "TMBG" in there a few times, too. ;)

[Alanalicious]

great song and awesome animation, but yeah, the video was a couple seconds earlier than the song

[zouljiin]

Aww, nice work on this. It's fantastic. :)

[gogeterdone]

bulshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kourtneykrouse]

que?

[TheNinthDoctor]

This is a very cool song, and I like the way you did the animation, even though it's out of sync.

[MicahSommer]

Very cool.

[florencerey]

great song but doesn't have the charm of the original CUB version

[thatamericangirl]

I like both versions, but there is something that's especially charming about the original, I have to say. TMBG does a really great job with their cover songs, though!

[kclimon]

thats how i met my girlfriend NOT

i dont even have a girlfreiend

this song rocks

[LoveCraken]

Hahaha join the club.

[kclimon]

already in it

just kinding

[mrmushroomer]

wish it was synced better!!! could you try to resync!!!! thanks... other than that, good school project!!!

what program did you use? Flash?

[jhester25]

ahh, i wish i could find a way to get it to resync better. believe me, i tried multiple times with no luck. the entire animation was done in AfterEffects, frankly, only because the assignment called for it to be done that way.

[5imian]

synch it in final cut.

use the speed percentage to tweak it just right.

[jhester25]

i finally got it to synch... check out my own video response.

[fizzychild]

LOVE THIS SONG!

and i love how on times square, the letters flashing on the billboard are TMBG.

[Altarstudio]

Great play with the type.

[JZikovsky]

Very nice, timing or not :)

[DarthAve]

YAY. Best. song. ever.

[Timewarp1]

The timing is a little off. And it's probably your fault and probably it's not. But i'm blaming you anyway.

[gistheman22]

that is nice... keep up the good work

[wich3171]

I hope you gave credit to Cub, the original band that wrote the song.

[zunni74]

Truth, cub = awesome + 1

[shesxonxfire]

great work!! (I'm an <i>aspiring</i> SVA student) What program(s) did you use to make this?

[tixhaj]

the timing is off

[jhester25]

yeah, i mentioned that already. blame youTube.

[lonelygirlI5]

very nice!

[tehblunderbuss]

Awesome job!

[aeroromero]

Great animation, dude! I recognized and appreciated all these fonts.

[EelfinnTy]

Good song and nice typography. The type illustrations are great. If you do another you might consider doing a little more than the lyrics during the song.

[citizenscholar]

I appreciate the New York magazine riff. The bridge and Empire State Building illustrations are great.

[matentupe]

no one is your friend in New York City

[AnaAerophina]

Speak for yourself.
