No concert scene, no Hare Hare Yukai. Yes bunnygirl, albeit only for a couple of scenes.

What can I say? The video quality is good. The song is pretty nice. Mostly, the action sync was good.

But the lip sync was off sometimes. Also, there's some lip flap here and there. And that action sync was good, but it could've been better...

Overall an enjoyable clip, but with a little effort it could've been much better. I think I'll drop an opinion soon.

I've long since given up on any attempts at lip-synching, since every time I try to fix lip flap it ends up being made of Lose and Fail.

Actually, lip sync is hard to pull in series or feature films where the animation of the mouth is consistent with the words... In series such as SuzuHaru - where there are very few of those mouth movements, the rest being classic mouth open/mouth closed - lipsync is easier. If a certain sequence just doesn't fit, start cutting, moving, reversing, speeding up, slowing down, you'll get it eventually. Even frame-by-frame sync is a solution (albeit not the easiest one).

I overlay a teeny picture of a mouth (preferably the one who's character your wanting to sinc... like take the same scene, crop it down to just the mouth and move it around to whatever fits). Of coarse you can't do this if you can't overlay ie in WMM. Also when the character moves while talking that is VERY tricky...

There are other ways, this is probably the crudest method in the book.

I just liked your info page, I didn't download this video yet ^_^

I couldn't help but compare this to Jbone's ELO video for obvious reasons.
I think this video definitely had its moments, but overall the sync could've been much tighter in many portions. Overall though, I thought it was cool.
