Formula Needed for Slow mo fx

Could anyone please tell me the formula for making a person appear to be moving in slow motion, but singing or talking on time. This technique was posted before but I cant find it again and I just went thru 960 threads. Thank you

put a song into Vegas.

change speed to 2x

render as new file

shoot person lip syncing to your new song file.(have them practice keeping their body movements normal since it will be unnatural for them to lipsync the faster version)

put your video into Vegas

Slow down video to 50% (velocity envelope)

put in original song (not the sped up version)

sync up video and audio.

Presto!

Remember: However slow you want your video to be, you have to lipsync to a version of the song sped up the same omount.

video slowed by half = audio doubled

I'm curious. What effect would this slow motion with normal sound create? I don't know that I've seen an example before.

It can look pretty cool in city surroundings... all singers seem to be in real time while everything else is half-speed.

Entire Sting video was shot this way in the late eighties... Sting on a dark set filled with candles. Can't remember the title of the tune, melody comes back tho.

See if you can find Coldplay's Yellow video. I tried doing myself a while ago (same as noted above), I beatmapped (just so the pitch would stay the same) a song in ACID, lip sync'd to it in double time, then brought the video into vegas and slowed 50% with velocity env. I imagine you can do the opposite...lip sync at half speed...
