Largest High School Lip Dub

 Lip Dubbing is a process done by individuals synching their lips  while listening to a song. Every student and staff  at Piscata High School  were delighted to be part of the project  that it ended up being called a world record. A thundering 1,983 participants came out to record the lip dub of  Aretha Franklin music. If you have been to a film shooting site where a song sequence is being shot you would see the artist lip dubbing as the shots get canned into the camera.

It  is a type of a video  that combine individuals and groups to synch lips as they hear the music. So outwardly it would appear as though they are singing the song themselves while tapping the dance floor. In films when we see the final print on the cinema hall after the screenplay and cinematography we get an illusionary feel that the songs are being sung by the individuals portraying the characters of the film.  Lip dubs are usually filmed in a single, unedited shot that often travels through different rooms and situations within a building.

Susan Pascullo  the television production teacher at the high school came up with the idea to do a lip dub and convinced the principal Mr Wanko about her ambitious project .The principal was impressed and inspired took it as an opportunity for a school wide project to drive out anti bullying and heighten the school spirit.The lip dub was announced as a kick off for the School’s anti bullying campaign and  the school’s strong support to curb such activities.

Posters were hung all around to promote staff student participation so that the harmonious partnership could help get the message spread faster. Principal Wanko firmly believed that a lip dub would be enjoyed well by the public and the school students would receive the school’s underlying intentions well. Even the New jersey education department has come up with mandated policies for schools to combat  all forms of harassments and bullying tactfully.

The Largest High School Lip Dub counted to 1,983 participants of Piscata High School at Piscata, New Jersey, United States of America on June 15,2011.
