I really love this video because it reminds me of all the good things we have done over the past years at david thompson im a student here and all my friends love it so thank you dt!!! good work
I'm one of the finalists in the Tyee's short film contest, and I'm actually voting for this video by David Thompson students--it impressed me by its choreography, shooting, editing, and the energy of the students. I hope this video gets wide distribution on YouTube and through the school system. Not so much for its message--we all know that recycling is "good" and throwing stuff out is "bad"--but for its exuberant display of the best part of being young, optimistic, and engaged with the world.
Your kids' Lipdub moved me to tears with their overwhelming positive energy, passion, & commitment to both creating the video and the environment. They are the diametric opposite of the stereotypical teenager who sits in their room and doesn't care about anything (which we know doesn't actually exist!). How refreshing to see kids so tuned in to how cool what they're doing actually is.
I was one of the co-producers and I've received wonderful feedback. I wanted to share some of the comments with everyone here. Sorry they have to remain anonymous.
Your Green Team’s lipdub just crossed my desk and I think it is fantastic! Congratulations to your team! It is fun and very connected to the whole school green spirit.
Saw the lip dub and loved it! Awesome job organizing that :)
@CrazyAsianize As the director I actually volunteered my time for this entire production. I was not paid, so I hope this misconception doesn't continue.
Love this vid only because I go to this school. Anyway, if people are going to make fun of this vid because of the awkward kids hired, I am with Purenain with this one. If you haven't noticed, David Thompson is a SCHOOL, not some random place. Those people happen to be students, not hired actors. If you aren't going to see the whole thing till you get to the credits, then stop saying half-assed stuff when you don't know yourself. In the credits, it CLEARLY shows that this was made by students...
C'mon guys, can we be a little bit more mature here??? The point of this video was to raise awareness of how to take care of our planet one apple at a time... we dont need any racist or negative comments here. And for those who insist on being a hater, chillax, life is short, so dont make it a bad one.
You Guys should stop hating because they did their best and they weren't hired at all. And they only got one day and were so dedicated for staying at school on a Saturday for 9 hours! This was made only to spread the message of going green.
I think half of these commenters are missing the point of this video. I go to this school and I was in this video, and there was no segregation, nor were we "awkward" kids "hired" to be in this video. We're not actors, we're not used to spending time in front of the camera. So stop being racist and saying 'that asian guy" or "this white guy", and stop pointing out every single, little mistake you see, this video's not perfect, cause we're just kids, doing what we can to promote dreaming green!
@shcaring Well by all means, please move schools. I am sure, based on your comment, that you would bring nothing of any value whatsoever to the school anyways.
Great job to all the participants! Excellent intiatives at DT! It's not easy putting something like this together. Kudos to every person involved. Getting the word out about GO GREEN is what is most important. :)
The process doesn't look complete: some kids can't lip dub, some can't do their parts as they look completely clueless, and some of their dancing wasn't all that great. Other than that, the editing looks great and the concept is lovely.
An absolute waste of money, whoever is in charge of Green Team doesn't know the least bit about sustainability. If they wanted to be green, they could have not done something that used so much energy. The school was even opened on a Saturday for about 8 or 9 hours. Imagine that, a full school with lights turned on, for only about 200 people. Fucking bullshit.
@604qwerty You have a valid point, but I did observe the school doing a pretty good job in keeping power consumption to a minimum. The only lights that were turned on were for areas that were being filmed, otherwise the rest of the school was completely shut down.
@604qwerty Thats not even 1/5 of the school... besides more than half of this video was filmed outside of the school either in the courtyard or parking lot. So chill out dude.
Just wanted to say that it was pleasure being your director, every single one of you were AMAZING! All of you should be really proud of this production =)
Awesome job everyone! The video looks great! Looking nice and green DT! Thumbs up to the people who made this happen, and also to the fantastic SVNH Leos in their bright red shirts! :)
The money we used was not the school's. It was a grant that that BioCycle receiver from the Generation Green Competition. The message behind this video was to show how green the school are.
5 dislikes come on dude that sexy man with the carrots should have one million views and u should watch the other people as well because they lead up to my sexy carrot scene that is the whole lip dub pretty much and I <3 that guy (myself)
@LtMechMillanKilo >> the apples were going into compost bins. They look like recycling bins but they aren't. And we only asked the people to "VOLUNTEER" themselves to do the parts >> Note to self: THIS IS A LIPDUB! AND WE ARE NOT PROFESSIONALS.
