You’re at the office and looking for a mood booster? This video definitely kicks a LOT of positive energy out. Here is the story. Just imagine : Connected Ventures, a group of friends who work for: Vimeo, CollegeHumor, Busted Tees, and Defunker... It’s the end of the day and they have a camera. Then someone says “Hey... what if we’d make like a video... play a song and try to lip-dub it?”. Well, they did it and it looks fantastic.
Think about this (and view it again):
One sequence shot + lip sync.
From a production point of view : it's simply BRILLIANT ! Mood booster and a very positive image of team spirit. And guess what: they are hiring! Work environment, HR, PR, insight, generation next company... here we go! Congrats Guys! You rock!
PS : Thanks to Yann for the link (Yo dude... so, when do you start your blog?) ; )
Rock on! Yeah! Crank it up! I want to work with these guys. Do they outsource to old rockers like me.
Great post Luc.

Shake it up, baby. What a neat idea to get the energy level back up and to redefine the fun in karaoke.

Don't tell anyone at my agency!!! ;)

Hooray- that's awesome!

That is totally the same as where I work! Every Friday! If you remove the fun, the booze, the singing, the camera work and the laughter... it's totally the same.
Hmm... where do I send my resume?

Lewis,
They must do. Worth giving it a try, right!
Valeria,
Also a good redefinition of PR and HR. I think this is really smart!
Sean,
OK, let's go there man! (PS : don't tell anyone either, ok?) ; )
Roger,
Excellent reference! Didn't think of that one. Wasn't this song also in "American Pie"?
Hi Kathy,
Yeeehaaaa! Glad you liked it. Pleased you tracked it! Now let's just dub it! ; )
Tim,

Hey Marcus,
I just discovered the ipod challenge (thanks Gavin!). You are quite a singer, Mister! So is Sacrum (sending warmness to him!). Love the idea. Too bad I'm really missing time. But I keep it in mind.
