Voice Over Complications:

Despite not having a lot of footage where we needed to sync sound to the actor's dialogue, I faced a new problem in that I needed to sync the V.O to text being typed into a computer. The obvious issue with this is that words are spoken a lot faster than one can type into a computer, on average anyway, therefore I had to speed up the clip of the typing in order for the text to appear near enough exactly as it's spoken. Following this, the second problem was now the speed at which the actors fingers were moving, it just didn't look realistic. To overcome this I had to crop the image, lessening in quality, but removing the comical speed at which the hands were having to move.  

The screen grabs below show the amount I had to speed up the clip in order to achieve a synced effect, I would have thought originally if i was going to have to nearly double its speed the result would look fake, i.e. sped up, luckily it seems to work well, with the only hint of its increased speed being the slight reflection of speeding hands in the screen of the laptop.
