Lipsynch music video filmed with just one travelling camera

There is a trend of groups of people producing their own lipsynched videos to pop music tracks with just one camera travelling around a building. Theo Spark has featured two recently, can you suggest any other good ones?

Wikipedia informs me that these videos are called Lip Dubs and there are loads, here are some of my favourites, many of which seem to be made in Israel...

This is the most popular Israeli lip dub made at Dizengoff Center, in Tel Aviv, Israel, for "If We Ever Meet Again" (Timbaland ft. Katy Perry). Unlike most other lip dubs, it was filmed in a vibrant public mall, so the actors blend in the crowd and emerge from it.



Universitat de Vic (Vic, Spain) - This lip dub features over 900 people lipsynching to the song "Hey, Soul Sister" by Train.

L'institute Français de Tel Aviv (Israel) - The first lip dub in Tel Aviv, made by the crew and students of the French institute in Tel Aviv. The song is Rockollection by Laurent Voulzy.



The first lip dub in Israel, made by 4th year Visual Communications Students, at the Holon Technological Institute's School of Design. The song is "Let's Get it Started" by the Black Eyed Peas.

And finally the biggest one to date... Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Catalonia, Spain) -
A group of students of the Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) presented in June of 2010 a lip dub with 1,200 participants, a current world record.[4] Participants included students, teachers and administrative personnel. The chosen song was "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" and the last scene included 700 persons dancing at the same time.

The last one is a touch 'FAME' but it like the others is guaranteed to raise a smile.
