You start with a piece of music and identify a music phrase. Then you find a piece of video that presents an interpretation of the poetry in the lyrics. You look for a final, ending motion of the video and backtime to get a clip of the same length as the music phrase and overlay the black video with the new clip. Continue every 2-4 seconds usually. However, in the case of a song like Elements by Tom Lehrer, for NCIS, you cut a LOT more often.

I currently work in Premier, though most of the videos were made in Avid.
I’m an avid fan. Watched from the beginning. Being a visual learner I got lost in the clips and stopped listening. You must have tons of fun making them. Thanks!
