If you've never seen a lip dub video, here's your chance.
After weeks of intense planning, students at Cobb County's Harrison High School pulled it off, thanks to help of hundreds of classmates.
"The kids are so proud of themselves, and they should be," Harrison broadcasting teacher Blake Tippens told the AJC.
Hundreds of students from various campus groups participated in the lip dub, which is a music video done in one take, without editing. The final product, which promotes a message of students helping each other through rough times, was shown to students Friday, just days after the shoot.
"It was electric," Tippens said of the school's reaction to the video.
To promote school unit, the students in charge of the video encouraged all students to participate, Tippens said. And the turnout was overwhelming. Even rain couldn't deter the students, who made the decision to shoot the final scene in the school's gym rather than in the football stadium.
"For one moment in time, it was no longer the band kids or the science kids or the athletes," Tippens said. "For one moment in time, we were a family.”
