Currently, I am working on the stop-motion parts of my film; I have my actor against a brick wall and I am drawing lyrics onto the wall behind him (in chalk) and talking photos to make it look as though the words are appearing as he sings them. I am finding it quite a hard task to get the lip-sync right in the photos and I'm getting my actor to mouth the vowels in time with the words in each photo.
When the lyrics get to the end of each line, I rub off the chalk words, usually in the short instrumental periods at the end of each line.
Up to this point, I have done the first two lines "And I know that there is friction between me and you", then I rubbed of the line and replaced it with "I know that you're uncomfortable-", as uncomfortable is quite a long word, I separated it and arranged it around my actor. I will next film close ups of the words "Believe me" and "I do", without the actor in shot. It has so far taken me approximately 2 to 2.5 hours to do this.
