The yearbook staff from Gilbert High School in Gilbert, S.C., is using the theme “Marvelous” for the theme of this year’s book, and that also ended up being the title of the video they submitted for Walsworth’s 2012 Video Contest.
As they explained, it’s going to be a super hero-themed yearbook. And the idea behind the video is “everyone can show heroic qualities, even the yearbook staff.”
Adviser Bevan Elliott and the yearbook staff at Keithley Middle School in Tacoma, Wash., tried a pretty simple approach with their video for Walsworth’s 2012 Video Contest. They decided to do a yearbook version of a Justin Bieber song.
Channeling Biebs seems like a pretty safe bet when making a video to appeal to a middle school crowd.
Our latest entry in the 2012 Video Contest comes from Northmont Middle School in Clayton, Ohio, and long-time readers of the Yearbooks Blog might remember this one as one of our past Videos of the Week.
Advisers Carrie Turner and Terra Spears decided to try their hand at rap to promote the yearbook and you can see the results for yourself below!
The yearbook at Hagerty High School in Oviedo, Fla., is called Fusion, which is what has led the yearbook staff to create a series of videos starring a talking yearbook called “Mistah Fusion.”
In this “Mistah Fusion” entry which was submitted for Walsworth’s 2012 Video Contest, he appears with one of Hagerty’s teachers, Mr. Adams, and chats about yearbook sales.
The yearbook staff from Gull Lake High School in Richland, Mich., submitted the video “Smile” into Walsworth’s 2012 Video Contest.
“Smile” uses time-lapse effects and a montage of several different Gull Lake students to demonstrate what life is like in a single day at the school.
Our latest entry in the 2012 Video Contest comes from the yearbook staff at Millennium Middle School in Sanford, Fla., who put together this music video mash-up of pop songs.
Of course all the dancing and lip-synching is fun stuff, but the staff made sure to get their yearbook message into the video as well.
Creating a parody of a currently popular song is an easy, fun way to create a good yearbook video. That’s just what the staff at Lake Brantley High School in Altamonte Springs, Fla., did with their entry in Walsworth’s 2012 Video Contest.
As you can see in the clip below, the Lake Brantley guys and girls had a good time making their own yearbook version of the hit song “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen.
Here’s another entry in Walsworth’s 2012 Video Contest, this one from Haltom High School in Haltom City, Texas.
The Haltom staff decided to seize upon the popularity of the recent hit song and video “Gangnam Style” by South Korean rapper Psy. “Gangnam Style” has become one of the most watched viral videos of all-time, with more than 480 million views, and Haltom’s video “Yearbook NOW” features the staff doing their own Gangnam Style dance.
This entry in Walsworth’s 2012 Video Contest from Hagerty High School in Oveido, Fla., is called “The Lab” and it will be pretty easy to spot that it’s a spoof of the popular TV show The Office.
As the staff said, “We’re poking some fun at the yearbook creation process, and hopefully getting people to buy a book after they laugh at us.”
Over the next several weeks, we’ll be featuring entries in Walsworth’s 2012 Video Contest here in the Yearbooks Blog.
The first entry comes from Damascus High School in Damascus, Md., and is called “Splash of Life.”
