DULUTH — A video broadcast journalism class at Duluth High School has put together a lip-dub version of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe," a video that's already got more than 12,000 views on YouTube.
The film clip, which was shot and edited by student Trevor Jackson, was something that Amy Thomas' video broadcast journalism class had been talking about doing for several weeks.
"There were so many other lip-dubs of the song online, and we decided to jump on the bandwagon and do it too," Thomas said.
She said it was a "fun experience" for those at the school who chose to help lip-sync the song (including Principal Jason Lane).
"The principal was very supportive from the get-go," Thomas said.
She added that it was a good chance for students in the journalism class "to learn some practical lessons on camera shots and angles...we got to touch on many things we've learned about through shooting this video."

The chemistry teacher Mr. Edgar is the one that presented the DHS teachers' petition of concerns (to an unresponsive GCPS school board) a year and a half ago. The Duluth and Berkeley Lake Mayors (both formerly employed by GCPS) also made statements with no affect on the school board's actions. Since that time, the teachers and community have really stepped up to create a positive collaborative environment and it shows. Eddie Owens and Jen Falk have assisted with bringing anti-bullying workshops and awareness to our community and schools. Thanks for showing LOCAL leadership Duluth. Get educated school board!
