I think Jakob Lodwick (fameballer and creator of Vimeo.com) has claimed the term. In 2006 he posted a video of him singing along with a song and wrote this: "I walked around with a song playing in my headphones, and recorded myself singing. When I got home I opened it in iMovie and added an MP3 of the actual song, and synchronized it with my video. Is there a name for this? If not, I suggest "lip dubbing."
That claim might be a bit spurious, because people did this before, and maybe even used the term (which a cross between lip sync and audio dub.)
The always correct Wikipedia says: "A lip dub is a type of video that combines lip synching and audio dubbing to make a music video. It is made by filming individuals or a group of people lip synching while listening to a song or any recorded audio then dubbing over it in post editing with the original audio of the song."
The Lipdub Project, a sort of lipdub clearning house, says this: "A phenomenon that has mushroomed in recent years on the Web, the lipdub is a single-shot music video in which participants lip-synch a popular song. It is intended to demonstrate the creative energy and high spirits of an institution or company."
It killed my Firefox dead, though, every time I tried to load the msn version. (I'm on Linux). If anyone else is having the same problem, here's the youtube link.
cool.... I love the costumes...
ReplyDeleteWhen did it go from lip-synch to lip-dub? I'm just curious.
ReplyDeleteWell done - but the ones where they really sing are cooler:

Is that more than anyone needed to know?
