UBC LipDub : Raise Your Glass & Celebrity Status

UBC LipDub : Raise Your Glass & Celebrity Status

Last week, UCB (University of British Columbia) released a LipDub video promoting their school and raising money for Make a Wish Foundation. On Saturday March 26, 2011, over 1000 people gathered to rock out and lipsynch to Raise Your Glass (P!nk) and Celebrity Status (Marianas Trench). Lots of different elements in this video. It kicks off with a spoof of the Old Spice guy, then shows off the diversity of the school population along with various student activities. (Looks like a large Asian population over at UCB.) The school campus look pretty fun with unicorns, Power Rangers, scuba divers and more. The most impressive part of the student made video is the helicopter fly over shot. Stay til the end of the video to see some of the behind the scenes action.
