LIPDUB

A lip dub is a type of video that combines lip synching and audio dubbing to make a music video. It is made by filming individuals or a group of people lip synching while listening to a song or any recorded audio then dubbing over it in post editing with the original audio of the song. There is often some form of mobile audio device used such as MP3 players. Often they look like simple music videos, although many involve a lot of preparation and production.

Origin
Jakob Lodwick, the founder of Vimeo, coined the term "lip dubbing" on December 14, 2006, in a video entitled Lip Dubbing: Endless Dream. In the video's description, he wrote, "I walked around with a song playing in my headphones, and recorded myself singing. When I got home I opened it in iMovie and added an MP3 of the actual song, and synchronized it with my video. Is there a name for this? If not, I suggest 'lip dubbing'."
Lodwick also directed the Flagpole Sitta 'office lip dub' in April, 2007, which The Washington Post covered
A lip dub (Anglicism) or promo clip is singing playback in a video produced and clip by employees in the workplace and generally intended for delivery over the Internet or other networks.
Came from the Anglo-Saxon, the lip dub took off in 2007 with the one developed by Connected Ventures, a U.S. media agency. Conducted especially in the middle of communication, these videos typically seek to demonstrate creativity and good mood prevailing in a team or company. They may be associated with a desire to create buzz in order to receive a free promotion through the current craze for video on the Internet or a desire to create links between participants.
