was made in response to
Shorewood Lip Dub was shot forward but played
backward.
Read about it here:
The Shorewood lip-dub was a response to one
made last month by rival Shorecrest High School to OutKast?s Hey
Ya!
Shorecrest?s video-production class produced a
continuous, one-take video involving hundreds of students dancing and singing
through the halls. There?s a banana in a wheelchair, the Grim Reaper and a
topless Scot, and people lending sugar and shakin? it like a Polaroid picture.
The whole thing was captured by student
cameraman Kollin O?Dannel.
Shorewood saw it, and the challenge was
on.
There was talk of using the Beatles? cover of
Twist and Shout, but Caceres thought it was too slow.
So he and video production teacher Martin
Ballew, 36, settled on the poppy Hall and Oates song, which was featured in the
recent film (500) Days of Summer.
They were inspired by director Spike Jonze?s
video for Drop, by the Pharsyde ? also shot forward but played
backward.
But doing that meant Caceres had to listen to
the song hundreds of times, backward, to figure out the mouth movements for
students to lip-sync. Played forward, it looks like they?re singing the lyrics
perfectly. |
