My Highschool - Video Wars

I have graduated highschool already, but when I did attend I went to WGSS. Whooooo Gators!
The teachers and students have wars in various things and try to beat the other at whatever it may be. We had student-teacher basketball games, dodge ball games, and various things like that.
More recently, the students did a LipDub. If you don't know what a lipdub is then go search them up on Youtube. Basically, it's a bunch of people lip-syncing to songs and showing school spirit and such. I don't know if all lipdubs are done by school necessarily, but a lot of them are.

But first, the teachers at my school did a flashmob during the annual Christmas assembly. It ended up on the news even. Christmas 2010.
Here it is. The view where you see the left sides of everyone from the back-side is where I was filming from. I was in video classes for a couple years so I got to know my teacher really well. He got me, a friend of mine, my boyfriend, and a couple other random people to film it. It was kinda fun because we got to know about it when no one else knew.

Next is the student lipdub! It was coordinated by students and included all students (I think). I was in the little team in which my friend was the leader of (student council member and student body vice president, she had the authority to do it :P). I was in charge of a random hallway on the upper floor, and had to yell at people at random times to run to various places. Early 2011.
This is it. It was a lot of fun to make, and only took like two tries.

Okay so now we have the Staff Lipdub. Let me just say that they had an unfair advantage. Since they are the teachers and staff they are allowed to use all of the equipment, go into any room, and do it whenever they wanted to. For the student one, we could only do it right after school, and had limited amounts of people and things we could use. The teachers, because they had so much freedom, also made theirs like twice as long as ours. And, since the one doing the filming and editing and whatnot was the same teacher that had helped a little/watched us struggle with the student one, he knew what he was doing. Late 2011.


Happy viewing :P
