Throughout our video, there is lip syncing with the lyrics with the song. Although, because we are doing it with a puppet, it's quite difficult (much to our surprise) to get the lip sync accurate all the time. We thought at first that this would be a problem, but through research with other Music Videos featuring puppets, we realised that it's not all that important to get the lip sync 100% accurate.
Take the Music Video, Ass Like That by Eminem. You can clearly see that the lyrics are not always in sync, though they are always accurate enough to make it clear that that's what the puppet is singing. Same with the videos, Life In Technicolor ii by Coldplay and Land Of Confusion by Genesis. All these videos have the same features where the lip sync is always very close but not always 100%. Why this is, I think, is because it just adds to the humour of them using a puppet. Puppets are, at the end of a day, a toy that is built for Fun. So having these tiny mistakes, adds to the fun.
So what we will take from this research is that we should try our absolute best to get the sync right, but if it does happen to be a little bit off, then it'll just add to the humour and fun side to our Music Video.
