Hello folks. ^^

I've never a video stir up so much comotion and controversy in the community! This video brings up the topic: "Moving lips footage takes your attention away from the video". You can't help but think "What are the characters saying?"

Going into the video, I knew that I was going to have problems avoiding moving lips since it's a dialogue intensive movie. So, I thought I would showcase it the best way that I could to be as suitable to the lyrics/music as possible. While I do agree that random flappage of lips is a no-no, Certain situations it's just another way of telling the story in an audio/visual way. Personally, I thought the outcome (for the most part) turned out pretty good, but I'll let you be the judge. I just ask that you watch with as open a mind as you can. :)

This video was originally made in 2004. Video quality shows it's age I'm afraid, but I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it!

"Moving lips footage takes your attention away from the video."
