Song: "La Vie Boheme" as featured in the film adaptation of the Broadway musical "Rent"

Music and lyrics by Jonathan Larson

Project #5 with Aegisub/VirtualDub. My last project only had three voices which barely overlapped. This song has something like eight different voices that overlap very often. I had to try it. Plus, "La Vie Boheme" has a quick tempo, so I thought it would be a good challenge.

Again, nothing too fancy with the subtitles themselves. I added some "preline" code to let the lyrics fade in 500 milliseconds before the singing of the line actually begins. This way, viewers can catch the first few words in each phrase before they vanish again.

I had fun deciding where to place each line. I realize that there's a lot of stuff happening on the screen at some points in the song, but... isn't that the point? It seems to agree with the spirit of the song, anyway~

The Aegisub code for each of my projects is available on request. The code is really nothing to brag about, but if you're just learning how to encode subtitles/lyrics onto music videos, then it might be helpful to learn by example.

Meanwhile, please enjoy the music! "Viva la vie Boheme!" :)

  • My friends and I plan to perfom this at our high school talent show. Exited? No.

    THRILLED!!!!!

  • @ZaChMoSs12345 Cool! Best of luck, I hope you guys win~ :)

  • I was trying to hard to find a video of the RENT film "La Vie Boheme" but the other video put up wouldn't let me watch it because I was under eighteen. Puleaze. Anways, your video was absolutely awesome and the lyrics match perfectly! My vocal skills are nowhere near the perfect audio quality of your video!

  • @jennyshim0503 Thanks! But maybe you've placed credit where it isn't due? My vocal skills are about as admirable as those of a dying goat. ;)

    All voice talents for this video belong to the individual actors and actresses who took part in the filming of RENT.

  • Awesome :D

  • @TheKirbydude1234 Thank youuuuu~~  :)
