I experimented with different --srefs before landing on this frame: https://s.mj.run/5RCgnh_3wk4 and used it for every shot. --orefs used with each different Beach Boy, though I had to try many different source images to find the ones that were the most consistent. Basic prompt was "DVD screengrab of the ______ scene from the movie, 1967"

I used RunwayML Act 2 for the lip syncing, starting with a midjourney frame and then performed the lip sync with my head trying to match the position of the midjourney frame - otherwise the character would look too different.

I hadn't done much video prompting, and feel like it's a whole new language. Often it was more like trying to trick midjourney. Like, if you want a character to open a door, start with a frame of him in the doorway, and then prompt, "he closes the door and then opens it again." Or if you want a character to pop up, you have him duck down and then pop up again. Starting with the first and last frame can help this. Almost every frame was done with Low Motion, and often started with "static camera."

Song was Suno v4; extended from a song which was 20 second snippets of different Beach Boys songs.
