Come Together
Dear DART students:
So as you may have heard, Brock has decided to make a lip dub video to Come Together by The Beatles. You can check out the Facebook group at http://bit.ly/cometogetherbrock ..or if you have no idea what a lip dub is, you can check out other lip dubs on YouTube such as UQAM's I've Got A Feeling at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zcOFN_VBVo .
Now the purpose of this message is to ask for your participation in this unique Brock event. The shoot will happen on Saturday, March 27th at 12 noon... meaning we'd need you at the school from sometime in between 10-11:30 until about 1 (or earlier if we get it in the first take - as it is filmed in only one continuous take!). I will have more conclusive details shortly.
If you are interested, please e-mail me at va08td@brocku.ca with your full name and e-mail address where you can be contacted. I will probably also make a facebook group this weekend if that would be more convenient. Furthermore, our portion of the lip dub will be filmed in SOS for the lyrics of approximately He bag production until Come together..., so e-mail me if you guys have any ideas for what we can do or wear!
If you know anyone else who would like to join, please pass on the message and have them contact me as soon as possible! SPREAD THE WORD!
The more the merrier, and this will be a lot of fun! If you don't contact me however, you can still participate! Just show up at Brock on Saturday, March 27th in either Brock Wear or a crazy costume, and we'll make sure that you get involved!
**so to SUMMARIZE**
- Come Together; Lip Dub - http://bit.ly/cometogetherbrock
- Saturday, March 27th (approx. 10am-1pm)
- E-mail me at va08td@brocku.ca with your full name and e-mail address
- Spread the word!
Thank-you so much for taking the time to read this e-mail!
Your participation and ideas would be greatly appreciated!
