This Austin school made an epic lip dub video to a Killers song and the band noticed

Thinking lip dub videos are so 2000-and-late? Wrong.

Austin’s Liberal Arts and Science Academy, a magnet school at Lyndon B. Johnson High School in Austin ISD, made a lip dub video to The Killers’ “All These Things That I’ve Done.”

And sure, maybe lip dub videos stopped being “a thing” back in 2011, but that doesn’t change the fact that the video is pretty amazing. Clearly, a lot of preparation and rehearsal went into it, and it turned out pretty cool:

The video is somewhat of a tradition for the school. According to Vanessa Mokry, the audio video production teacher at LASA, said this is the third lip dub video they’ve done, and while they’ve never thought of it as a “tradition,” it’s becoming one.

It all started in 2013, when Mokry said a student showed her a video done by another school. So the students in her Advanced AV Production class decided to plan, direct and shoot a lip dub video to “Under Pressure” by Queen and David Bowie.
