6 Do you think a lip dub of your school is a good
idea? What would you like to show in your
school? Can you think of a song you would like
to use?

Do you do any subjects that aren't here?

What are your favourite subjects?
How do you tell the world your school is special? Make a 'Iip dub' video! That's
what the students and teachers from the Friends' School in Lisburn, Northern
Ireland did. The result was an overnight Internet hit!

When PE teacher S ephen Robinson
decided to make lip dub about Friends'
School in Lisburn, the students were very
excited. Their 11-minute video tells the
story of a girl's first day at their school,
She arrives at the school, the door opens
and the music begins. The teachers at the
Friends' school weren't surprised when
their students chose the music from the
American TV programme Friends. At their
school friends are important.
Nearly 1,000 students and teachers worked
on the lip dub. The students wrote their
ideas on big boards and decided which
places in the school they wanted to show.
They made it with a digital camcorder, a
tripod and a computer. The cameraperson
filmed the students in classrooms, the
science lab and the gym. There was Irish
dancing, gymnastics and rock climbing.
Even the cooks from the school canteen
danced and sango In the first 48 hours more
than 65,000 people watched it.

A lip dub is a kind of music video. A

group of people sing and dance and a
cameraperson filrns them. Later a filmmaker
adds the original song to the video. In the
video you hear the original songo You don't
hear the people on the video. The idea for
the first school lip dub came from Germany.
You can watch some school lip dubs on
Internet sites such as YouTube.
G-~-
The lip dub ends at the sports field.
The students and teachers are dancing,
running, singing and having fun. They say
they enjoyed every minute of the video.
Some students described it as a fantastic
and amazing experience. One thing is sure:
they all love their school.
