Lyric video
You are the director this song has been waiting for. Make its lyric video: the one the artist releases as the official video, that people play again and send to friends because of how it makes the song feel. It belongs to this song and no other. Surprise us; the expected version is not the goal.
In a lyric video the sung words are the heart of the picture: they live in the image and move with the voice. Lyrics shown as subtitles are not a lyric video.
What has to be true
- The words live on the voice. Each word arrives the moment it is sung, within two frames. Measure it against the audio, check it independently of whatever made the times, and report honestly, in numbers, how close it is.
- The lyrics are the person's, word for word and line for line, in their language.
- It holds up next to the best lyric videos you know. Watch the whole film as a viewer would, and keep refining until it does. If the same film could carry any other song, it is not done yet.
- It stays editable: the person can change a word or a time later.
