Shore To Shore Lip Dub
Posted by Michelle Moquin on January 5th, 2010
I just have to brag this morning, but this is so worth bragging about. I just love creativity in motion.
On Christmas eve, my sister-in-law Barbara, who is the Dean of Students at Shorewood High in Seattle, WA., pulled out her mac and proudly showed me a music video that the students filmed. Watching it made me wish I was back in high school. No really, I admit it, my high school days were memorable and a ton of fun, but we didn’t do anything like this – Don’t I wish!
Anyway, I thought you would get a kick out of this too. These competitive collaborations are between two rivalry schools, Shorewood High and Shorecrest High – The challenge? It’s a ’lip dubbing’ musical video battle. Both schools display so much fun and creativity. And evidently everyone else thought so too. Enough to go viral and get over 500K views on youtube and…a feature segment on the Rachel Maddow show during the holidays. How cool is that? Check it out:
Pretty fun huh? And the battle continues. I’m looking forward to seeing what Shorecrest counters with. Who knows…this could be the beginning of Glee gone wild.
If you’re interested in seeing the videos in their entirety – click here for Shorewood and click here for Shorecrest.
ZL: It looks like it’s you and me babe. Wow, feels like the old days when I hardly had any readers. Thanks for being here with me. :)
Peace out…
Gratefully your blog host,
michelle

Hi Misch,
It’s my honor and privelige to be here with ya…like the old days pre-aliens, pre-everyone else : )
ask your sister in law when I can enroll – I want to do this thing, too. My high school days mood du hour most days was more like Bowling in Columbine. I’m telling you a creative podcast/YouTube vid could put you/me in the primetime, BABE!
I’m on my way to rollerblade with a friend who is suggesting for the 20-10 reinvention of ZL that I become a ‘motivational speaker’ bc I’m – in her words – inspirational, interesting and unusually well-balanced : ) I’m going to go with her on this one bc I need the input so I make ‘congruent for my current lifestyle’ decisions…or learn to live off the land…tee hee…!
Work tomorrow, that’s the advice from the ZL procrastinator who sees a 77 degree day out there and cannot say no to it!

Hi Michelle and Zen Lill; I am hoping your holiday season is being all that you could want it to be. Mine has been exactly what I expected it to be, and I made it through another year relatively unscathed.
I don’t know who is pushing the buttons either. I have an idea but I really don’t know for sure. I am pretty sure I will be able to post today, haven’t missed yet.
Both Howie and myself are O.K., I would comment more often if I had more to say. I have had a real case of writers block lately
Zen Lill how many unusually well balanced people do you think speak with aliens over the internet in their spare time;)I think that you would be great at motivational speaking
Happy New Year, Peace and Goodwill to all!!!!!!
Later girls,
Al

Al, to answer your question in a word: none!
And that spare time thing may be coming to an end in the next month, might just have to an ocassional voice, unfortunately the need to make money is making it’s way to the top of list of things that must be done. glad you and Howie are well, was going to ask after you two today, now I don’t have to : )
take care, Luv, Zen Lill
