Few days back, I was in my BBA class listening a very famous song “The black eyed peas I gotta feeling” with lips were following the song just like “lip-dubbing”.My class—mate came to me and asked “What are you doing mann?”. (I don’t know may be he was blind). Can’t u see? “Lipdub”. He anxiously watched me for couple of seconds and then asked me a question after scratching his head!!! What is Lipdub? I was surprised to know that he was 100% empty as far as concern about the history of this term and later I explained him that what actually the lipdub is?
Maybe some of you are not aware of this term “Lipdub” which is going to happen for the first time in the history of Bahria University Karachi. May be some of you thinking about Lipdub, some event sponsored by “lipton”. Actually it is not! “Aao bahrians tum ko sunaey Lipdub ki Mazaidar kahani! Aik tha raja or Aik thi rani”. Well lipdub has nothing to do with this “Farigh” statement. Let us back to our track.
A lip dub is a type of video that combines lip synching and audio dubbing to make a music video. It is made by filming individuals or a group of people lip synching while listening to a song or any recorded audio then dubbing over it in post editing with the original audio of the song. There is often some form of mobile audio device used such as an MP3 player. Often they look like simple music videos, although many involve a lot of preparation and production. Lip dubs can be done in a single unedited shot that often travels through different rooms and situations within a building. They have become popular with the advent of mass participatory video content sites like YouTube.
“Kingwood High School's Audio Video Production class produced Taio Cruz's Dynamite Lip Dub. Over 300 students and administrators participated in the making of the video”.
I really liked this Lip dub. This school chose a really dynamic song to go with it, and it really works in this Lipdub. As soon as the video starts, you’re in it. Maybe a bit too much from the very beginning, an introduction might have been nice. In each scene, there are lots of people but everything seems to have been well prepared and organized. They all seem to know what they have to do and it’s no mess, which can happen in some Lip dubs with many participants. They wear costumes or types of clothing which gives this Lipdub a nice theme.
Jake Lodwick, the co-founder of Vimeo, coined the term "lip dubbing" on December 14, 2006, in a video entitled Lip Dubbing: Endless Dream. I won’t go with the history of lipdub too long because I don’t want to mess-up with the description of the topic which is relevant to entertainment.
Recently CBM organised a successful lipdub video which is by-far a great achievement for Paki-university, with having more than 70,000+ hits on youtube so far, I think they did a tremendous Job. On October 21st 2011, seven hundred students came all decked out to pledge allegiance to the first university LipDub in Pakistan. Get ready to explore a wicked, crazy and rocking side of Pakistan. A Bahrian like you today has to prove his/her worth and needs to light it up like a dynamite.. cause baby you’re a firework!
A LipDub generally attempts to bring together students to interact with peers they likely never would have met, promote Bahria University globally, while strengthening the bond with our corporate community locally and act like a video diary or a time capsule for all Bahria University students to carry back with them after they graduate from this university.All these events are leading bahria to a skier with the minds of BBA-8C behind all this plan, New talent is coming-up with Bahria University bagged the highest number of awards in IBA youth festival, We can say that bahria is changing, progressing and moving.
The most awaited event of the season "lipdub" is ready to serve. All the registration are being taken place from 12th of March.
So you all bahrians! Are you ready for change? Are you ready to make this video memorable? Let’s go for it!!
good idea
