Vocaloid Choir sings the Finnish national anthem

Subtitles in Finnish, Swedish and English. Created with Vocaloid 2, Nero Wave Editor and Lipsync.
What's Vocaloid? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocaloid

EDIT 1.8.2010: You can find Lipsync here:

EDIT 30.8.2009: Quite a few people have commented that they can actually understand the Vocaloids' Finnish here without reading the subtitles. That's very nice to hear because generating understandable Finnish has been one of my main goals as a Vocaloid producer. Thank you so much for your positive feedback!

I created this video to celebrate the 5000 view counts of my other video "Hatsune Miku sings the Finnish national anthem."

Development history: I started the Vocaloid work around the 17th of July. It took me a few days to fully finish writing the notes and fine-tune the song. For some reason, this song caused me a lot of headache. I wanted it to be perfect, but there's still just something that isn't quite right. Having finished with Vocaloid, I moved on to adding reverb and volume to the sound file with Nero Wave Editor. Then I started making the video with Lipsync. The hardest bit was animating the flag: The probem with Lipsync is that it won't automatically animate gif-files in the video. That's why I had to animate the flag by manually situating each frame of the flag to the video, one by one. It was quite tedious, to say the least. :D I also had to fine-tune the mouth expressions of the singers, because the expressions generated by the automatic lipsyncing didn't fit the expressions of how the words were pronounced in Finnish. After I had generated the avi-file with Lipsync, I combined the music file with the video using Windows Movie Maker.

I love Finland and the people were nice to me when I visited. I can`t wait to visit again.

Respect from ENGLAND!

[E5rael]

@TrilogyofC Thank you for your kind words! Word of advice: Don't come and visit just now, because the streets are wild with people celebrating the hockey championship! ;)

@TuukkaAlmighty Et arvaakaan, kuinka monesta Sibeliuksen teoksesta olen halunnut tehdä Vocaloid-version, mutta Sibelius ei vain ole ollut kuolleena tarpeeksi pitkään, jotta hänen kappaleensa olisivat tekijänoikeuksista vapaat.

[KookieXlol]

I saw Len so i fucking clicked on this.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIN AND LEN!!! :D

[E5rael]

@oi565 Sibeliuksen kappaleista tulee tekijänoikeuksista vapaita näillä näkymin vuonna 2027, joten älä pidätä henkeäsi! xD

[oi565]

@E5rael Kauanko sen pitää olla kuolleena että niistä tulee tekijänoikeuksista vapaita?

[Caniziu]

Happy Independence Day to everyone in Finland!
