Our own lipdub!!!

For about one year ago the new word lip dub was spreaded into the whole world wide web. Especially on video platforms like or it became more and more popular. But what stands behind the word  lip dub and what does it really mean?

The term "lip dub" was coined by Jakob Lodwick, founder of Vimeo. (from imeo.com)

The idea and the word were formed by the founder of vimeo and became popular with publishing the world-wide first "office lipdub" by New York agency "Connected Ventures". This established a new way of company presentation in the web. Till this day many companies did it the same way with their own "office lipdub".

This year we have a big challenge: making our own lipdub, with our students, our school... We'll do this step by step.  Someone asked Are you nuts? We went crazy but... YES, WE CAN!!!

Coming soon...
