Chapter 7: Rehearsals

From experience, it’s difficult to improvise a Lipdub. In order to make sure that your actors for the day are good, you will need rehearsals and give them good advice.

Chapter 8: Shooting

To start the shooting of your movie, you need to either shoot it with your own means or call a professional in. In all cases, you will have to manage the timing and fittings.

Chapter 9: Installation

A priori editing your Lipdub can be relatively simple, provided you follow the rule of shooting in one shot. However, some constraints may push you to achieve a Lipdub in several cuts/shots. In this case, the assembly is more complex.

Chapter 10: Broadcast

Who will have the chance to see the final outcome of your Lipdub? Participants? Your entourage? The whole world? To do this, we offer you various means of delivery divided into two categories: internal and external.
