Lip Dubbing

Tagged: ,

Over at Ze’s Page, there is a modest little post about lip-dubbing. It’s pretty much like lip syncing only you wear headphones to sing along and then completely dub over the audio afterwards with the actual song. Gives it that music video effect. One of the upshots to using an iPod to sing along is that you could do it on, let’s say… a train.

Lip Dubbing: Crazy on Vimeo

So I watch this clip with this guy singing Crazy and I think, “Heh, that looks fun. Certainly an improvement on teenagers singing along to 50 Cent on YouTube.”

That video only vaguely prepared me for the awesomeness of the next clip. First, I’ve never heard of a band called Harvey Danger. Supposedly they had a big hit in the 90s and they’re resurfacing again now. Second, this clip is made by the guys who run the site, how interesting can it possibly be?

I mean sure, it starts with a cute girl quietly listening to her iPod. But you can’t always win on cuteness alone.

I heart this video. I heart it so very much.

on my comp at work all the emoticons on your blog show up about an inch down from where they are written. is this my problem or yours? or my computers? since i dont really care all that much about emoticon placement

Is it just me or do the MSN icons somehow just look a little better than the others? (y)
