I have to agree that lip-synching sucks. If there is anything I can't
stand (that I can identify) about music videos, is watching people pretend
to sing, pretend to play the guitar etc.. Why? It's so blatantly obvious,
that all I can see is that the jerks are mouthing the words. And, usually
the vocalist has such an exagerated opinion of himself that they close up
on him for long period of time so that all you see is one big 'puppet' face
pretending to sing.
Another thing I can't stand, is groups who pretend to be giving a live concert
during the video. MOST heavy metal groups seem to do this sort of thing,
just arrange their instruments on a stage similar to how they do in concert,
and then proceed to act the whole thing out. A good demonstration of how
'shallow' they really are beyond their canned stage show.

They then overdub the film with the album. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Lowrey "To vacillate or not to vacillate, that is the question.... ....or is it?" ...!(<sun,cbosgd,ihnp4}!amdahl!dwl10 [ The opinions expressed <may> be those of the author and not necessarily those of his most eminent employer. ]
