The Black Eyed Peas hit single "I Gotta Feeling" was everywhere this summer and continues to gain popularity with it's anthemic declaration to simply have a great time! Well, it looks like the students majoring in communications at l'Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) had a great time creating this video for the song.
Using one single moving shot, throughout what I can only assume to be one of the University's buildings, a little of two hours of organization time, and nearly 200 students, they have created a well choreographed and smile-inducing interpretation to do the BEP proud. I don't even want to think about the logistical nightmares in organizing something like this but I am impressed! No doubt we will be seeing some imitators in the future; if not with this song than with another!
Be sure to watch the video a couple times to catch hidden bits of humor you may have missed during your first viewing. Some things, like Wonder Woman and Waldo (of "Where's" variety) doing make sense other than the fact that they are having a good time, but watch for the costumes of the students on the stairs and the details like the days of the week on the shot glasses and kid eating a "Sunday." I also like how intricate some of the parts are, with some lip-syncers only mouthing a sound that goes relatively unnoticed in the audio otherwise.
