I am not quite up on this Lip dub phenomenon, but, from what I gather, it’s a fairly big hit with the kids these days and their wacky internets. This afternoon, my old pal Tommy forwarded a little video to a bunch of us that some students from our High School alma mater put together. I was impressed by the fact that they: did it in one take, had a steadycam, and got to do something like this as part of a class. I hope these dag-blasted kids appreciate what they’ve got these days.
Why, when I was their age, we didn’t have fancy Video Production Classes — we sat in our classes without joy, and were lucky to steal a few minutes in Study Hall for some “Magic: The Gathering”, or enjoy a stolen chocolate milk bag from the cafeteria. And, by God, we liked it.
(If we wanted to humiliate ourselves on video, we did it on our own time.)
