Very, very well done and I am so happy that the Order of Pie made it in!! They were one of my favourite things on campus, nothing made my day like watching them stomping around campus with the stocks in arms and capes fluttering in the wind. :)
This is why Shawn Slavin recovered from Flight 190, so he could spread his unbelievable talent in a million different directions. I'm amazed and was that EVER the best 10 minutes I've spent in a long time. Makes me proud to know Shawn and makes me proud to be a UVic mom. (Is there an actual head count of how many people were in it? You were all fantastic.)
This video has by far the best acrobatics of any lip dub. Backflips, unicycles up stairs, tightrope walking, people hanging sideways... Tremendous effort and really show the physical energy of our campus! PS: The bus going by at 0:17 reading "UVic" was a really nice touch (!)
I've watched it a dozen times and it always brings a smile to my face, I'll never get sick of it! I couldn't give a sh*t if it's the 'best' lipdub, or if there were flaws. It's a beautiful example of community spirit, pride, dedication and how much fun we had. I'm so honoured I was able to take part. My university experience is richer because of it and I'll cherish the memories forever. :) Spammers, derogatory / sexist / racist commentators and nay-saying critics can go to hell.
As an alumnus I'm really proud to see the great job everyone did. Everyone seemed so exuberant, and there was so much hilarious individuality in each shot. The Billy Mays guy was the first person in the video to make me laugh out loud, but not the last. I hope you make this an annual competition with the Spanish UVIC. Focus on where you can make it even better instead of knocking your first effort too much.
You all did a great job on this video. I work at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo and I am proud to say that this UVIC did an incredible job. Lipdubs are about fun and getting students involved. Everyone criticizing the little details is missing the point.
UVic UVic!!! I am soooo glad that UVic (in CANADA) is the University I am getting my degree at!! Awesome profs, Awesome students, Awesome staff, Awesome town...!! Just wish I could have been there to join in on the fun. UVic ROCKS!!!!!
this collaborated event is using lipdub as merely the mean to showcase our school and our city. and more importantly, letting everyone participated, experienced, and wittnessed it to realise that the solidarity, unity, and enthusiasm of this community is strong. being there myself from 7:00am in the morning to 5:00pm in the afternoon for the shooting, not to mention all the volunteers and crews worked even harder, the collaborated effort from everyone involved is spirit gold
Creator, Producer, and Director, WTG Shawn! I loved the beginning when you were speaking, I've seen that expression one thousand times, I guess that is sort of a straight face!
Some ppl would say why bother, to much time on their hands but I think its fantastic that all these ppl can get together and create something like this. Well done
I do wish that the camera work had been smoother (so many times, peoples' heads were cut off, or the action took place just off camera), that people had actually looked like they knew the words, and that it had all looked a bit more polished. But the sheer number of people and the high energy of this are amazing, and it's so full of witty use of the space. Knowing how little time you all had to pull this together, I have to applaud you! Bravo UVic, wish I could have been there.
Best handling of a cast this size that I've seen yet. Everyone got some face time and the camera didn't move so fast that you felt rushed. Very good effort. Nice work!
i love UVic since i have taken a program there this summer, this video make me remind the happy time i spent there! that's really great. i think im falling in love with UVic deeper now.
yeah I agree. It's great, and fun but I wouldn't brag that it's better than the other one, it's awesome that you guys did it and were able to include anyone who wanted to do. Looks like you had a blast. Congratulations!
I saw this on CBC News this morning. Haven't seen this much "co-operation" in a long time. It reminds me of high school, for some reason. ;) Great work, UVic!!
Thumbs up for all the participants watching this 3 or 4 times with friends and pointing themselves out to generate half of the hits so far! Awesome video Lethbridge Alberta!
What an awesome video! I'd like to personally thank Shawn for making sure that this video is available in Germany (which has super tight music licensing laws) so that I (and the rest of the country) can enjoy it! Go Uvic go!
hi UVIC.. i really like this lipdub and i think its totally different from UBC's lipdub.. somehow the last part when everyone's dancing made me cry... UVIC is no doubt the best university for lovers : ) i still like UBC since it's more energetic. but thumb up for this one, it made my heart melt.
You guys make me proud to live in Victoria! as if I needed another reason! this is amazing. Kudos to Shawn Slavin and all participants for doing an amazing job!
@StephanieSymondsShow wow that's great! that's what i loved about doing this project too - the energy and enthusiasm is entirely authentic! such a great vibe
Very Cool!! I really enjoyed this. You guys (and gals) really showed what 'team effort' is all about. I think it's funny though, it starts out with Train's Soul Sister. I was just telling my co-workers how sick I am of this song being played to death on the radio and now on TV commercials. I adore Michael Buble, so this was perfect for me!! Great job! You should be very proud!!
Still one of the happiest making videos I have ever seen
Highlight: The transitions from Library entrance to the 3rd floor are superb! Great work!!!!
2010 fashion... omg. love this
Wow! I have so many favourite parts - so many surprises. Congratulations, Shawn, Chelsea, & everybody else!
This is awesome! Great choice of song, Buble is the best!
This is soooo awesome!! Good job Canadian UVic! We Rule!
Great job everyone. You did amazing, UVic.
Great job everyone you made me very proud to be apart of this world especially Canada
Love the whole thing.....not a UVIC student but have a few friends in the video, great choice of songs = ) way to go !!!!!
Very, very well done and I am so happy that the Order of Pie made it in!! They were one of my favourite things on campus, nothing made my day like watching them stomping around campus with the stocks in arms and capes fluttering in the wind. :)

I love UVic. This makes my heart fill with even more love for my old campus and it's great people.
Woohoo! UVic Lipdub 2010 is live! :D Great to be a part of this project! Memories to last a lifetime..
This video has by far the best acrobatics of any lip dub. Backflips, unicycles up stairs, tightrope walking, people hanging sideways... Tremendous effort and really show the physical energy of our campus!
PS: The bus going by at 0:17 reading "UVic" was a really nice touch (!)
Came to evaluate attractiveness of humans at UVic as part of my decision about going. Quite impressed.
I've watched it a dozen times and it always brings a smile to my face, I'll never get sick of it! I couldn't give a sh*t if it's the 'best' lipdub, or if there were flaws.

Spammers, derogatory / sexist / racist commentators and nay-saying critics can go to hell.
All participants, this is FANTASTIC! Well done, Shawn, you are a genius.
Oh my god guys! We rock! It turned out so well, UVic is the best!
UBC and U Vic...best lipdubs ever caught on film.
Still proud of OUR UVIC, such a great lipdub! Loved my time at this school.
As an alumnus I'm really proud to see the great job everyone did. Everyone seemed so exuberant, and there was so much hilarious individuality in each shot. The Billy Mays guy was the first person in the video to make me laugh out loud, but not the last.
I hope you make this an annual competition with the Spanish UVIC. Focus on where you can make it even better instead of knocking your first effort too much.
This was such a magical day. I am grateful for the opportunity to volunteer and help out. Love Waldo!

Just wish I could have been there to join in on the fun.
UVic ROCKS!!!!!
Dear UVic,
You rock. Super proud of the video.
Love,
UBC & other universities in Canada.
this deserves way more viewings. You just feel happy after watching it.

All of a sudden, I am so damn proud of UVic now.
Some ppl would say why bother, to much time on their hands but I think its fantastic that all these ppl can get together and create something like this. Well done
Best LipDub I've seen, hands down
AWESOME. This turned out even better than I had hoped!
This is why this UVic is my UVic!
I do wish that the camera work had been smoother (so many times, peoples' heads were cut off, or the action took place just off camera), that people had actually looked like they knew the words, and that it had all looked a bit more polished.

This is amazing. I wish my university could pull this kind of thing off. Hats off to you!
I LOVED being a part of this unique day. So much fun (Dr. Yu & the 3 young ladies). Thanks to Shawn and everyone, awesome job UVic!
That's my school! Love this.
Way to go, Uvic! One more reason BC is amazing.
- Fellow UBC student!
The lipdub looks like a success!!! So proud to be going to uvic
Finally up! I loved seeing people I've met on campus crop up here and there.
Best handling of a cast this size that I've seen yet. Everyone got some face time and the camera didn't move so fast that you felt rushed. Very good effort. Nice work!
Awesome! Well done UVic.
I never realized how many gingers we have in Victoria.
No effing way!!! I am amazed and rick-roll'd at the same time. I absolutely LOVE you guys! Hope to see more of this!
Ahh! I love this video! I remember waiting for it to hit RUclips, its still just as good almost a year later.
Awesome! This lipdub is amazing and just teeming with school spirit!
