Grants with Industry

Timecode

We begin a collaboration with the Timecode company that works in dubbing (recording and replacing voices on a motion picture or television soundtrack). We want to use tools developped in our team to speed up the process of making a rythmo band (or "lip-sync band"). The band is actually a clear 35 mm film leader on which the dialogue is written, along with numerous additional indications for the actor (laughs, cries, length of syllables, mouth sounds, breaths, mouth openings and closings, etc.). The rythmo band is projected in the studio and scrolls in perfect synchronization with the picture. We have designed a tool for automatic alignment of the rythmo band and the audio file.
