LIPDUBS

 

WHAT IS A LIPDUB?


A lipdub is a type of music video. In the video people lip-sync to music, and later the original version of the music is dubbed in, replacing any audio that was recorded during the making of the video.

ELEMENTS TO MAKE A GOOD LIPDUB

• When moving the camera, don’t only move forward, in one direction. A good lip dub turns directions constantly, moves forward, backward and sideways, turning corners, entering rooms, moving up and down stairs. It also points in directions other than only straight ahead.

 

• The cast should wear a variety of clothes/costumes, use lots of different props, and perform a lot of different actions.

 

•   The cast needs to look like they are having a good time. The video is supposed to be fun, not work.

 

• The camera moves past some people and moves with others.

 

• When people lead the camera from one scene to another, the people on the next scene should already be on the move as the previous one slow or go off camera. .

 

• The video is about the people,  It’s important to keep the camera close enough to fill much of the viewing area.

•   There should be at least one massive crowd scene.
