Minor Annoyance

I made this video of the season 7 episode Same Place, Same time. It's the basement scene where they're all talking to Spike at the same time but can't all see each other, with both scenes playing side by side. Seeing it this way kind of ruins the mysterious quality of the scene, but it lets you see things the way Spike saw them.

The scenes as they originally are don't line up perfectly, including one part where there is a ten second difference in the timing of the scenes, and three times where there is an extra word in one of the scenes, but I've edited around that so they do line up with Spikes dialogue and actions. It doesn't look like there are a lot of differences between the timing of the scenes but there are about 44 edits in the clip. I used existing cuts as well as altering the play speed in places to keep everything lined up. Some parts where there is too big a time difference to cover up it just fades to black on that side of the screen. Lastly I adjusted the sound balance so each half of the scene plays out of the speaker on it's side.
