yeah, thanks. downloaded it, watched it, loved it. not the end credits though. way too big, videoish (is that a word?) and fast. looked more like the end credits to a talk show.

finishing sound in a video editor, burning a CD and play it along with the projected film is a nice solution.
To make it "more or less" work, without additional sync equippment, it is important to have a projector that can be adjusted in speed. The better the projector´s speed matches with the camera´s average speed, the better the sync result will be.

To find the correct projector adjustment, shoot a scene with defined duration, using a stop watch. Or shoot the running stop watch. F.e. shoot a scene of exactly one minute.

After developing, project the scene and check, if the duration is really one minute as it had been during shooting. If not, adjust the projector and test again, until the time matches.

Now you can use the projector to transfer the edited film to nle, add the audio there and burn the CD.
Don´t forget a start frame for the sync start and crop the audio file exactly at that start frame.

For projecting, forward the film the the start frame and start projector and CD at the same time. Keep your hand at the speed adjustment button, to make slight corrections during the show.

Real sync is only possible with a closed regulation loop, f.e. a pulse based system, as described oftenly here in the forum.
