A Little Light

A 13-second vertical lyric video: two sung lines with word-by-word karaoke captions over calm, symbolic scenes.

The Lyric Video method lets the song drive the edit. Wavemaker measures where each sung word falls, checks that the heard words match the supplied lyrics, and only then renders karaoke captions over scenes made for each line. This example sets two lines, 'A little light, a little space / A quiet moment, a softer pace', to sunlight on a wall, a pear on a windowsill and bubbles rising in a glass.

To make your own, give the lyrics (or a theme and Wavemaker writes them) and an idea of the images. The download contains the brief, the method's plan, the composition manifest and render receipt, the original review, and this example's review packet with the transcript and listening notes.
