Digg vs. Revision3, Battle of the Lip Dub Videos

by Scott Beale on April 23, 2008 · 14 comments

The gang at Digg recently had a great time making a lip dub video of the 1990 Deee-Lite song “Groove Is In The Heart”. The video shoot was organized by Mark Trammell, with Eddie Codel doing camera work.

Digg’s video was in response to the Revision3 lip dub video of “Need You Tonight” by INXS. Both videos were inspired by the infamous “Flagpole Sitta” lip dub video by Connected Ventures.

Big points to Digg for building the Kevin Rose suspense and technical dolly shot, but win goes to Rev3 for emotional conviction and tight lib dub skills. Tough to play Deee-Lite against INXS. As Randy, Paula, and Simon would say, “It’s all about song choice at this level.”

Digg takes it because they have a much better song than the guys at Revision 3 do, but I do have to say that Gator on guitar was totally epic!

All I have to say is digg version: 3 takes. Rev3 version: 6 takes!!

I think the challenge was met, owned and returned to sender in a nice big box of THAT’S RIGHT!

wait… I’m still stuck on the term “lip dub” — how is it different from “lip sync”??
