Broadcast students are busily preparing for the annual senior lip dub. Scheduled to take place Friday afternoon, seniors will be allotted time during the school day to film, and are highly encouraged to bring props and costumes for the video. Senior broadcast students Anna Ellison and Kacy Guajardo are leading organizers of the effort.
“On Friday, there’s a community service project for seniors, every grade has something else to do, but we have the service project in the morning,” Ellison said. “We’re going to get, probably about an hour and a half that afternoon to film it.”
The song for the lip dub will be “Everybody Talks” by Neon Trees. A rehearsal for seniors with solos is set to take place on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m.
With the help of administration, the lip dub is being filmed much earlier this year in order to increase participation.
“We just wanted to make sure it was done early enough that if there was anything that went awry with it maybe technology wise, or there was a reason to add or take away from, there was time to edit if it needed to be done,” assistant principal Kristen Kinnard said.
The broadcast team is attempting to be as organized as possible with Ellison personally talking to seniors who requested solos, and working with Guajardo to address all aspects of the video prior to Friday.
“We felt that this was a good opportunity to take care of it [the lip dub], and get a lot of seniors involved,” Ellison said.
