The video It Must Really Suck To Be Four Year Strong Right Now by Four Year Strong is a great example of lip syncing. The video involves 20-30 fans of the band lip syncing the lyrics while walking down a street, every thirty seconds or so another group of fans come from behind them and take over the mock instruments, such as Guitar Hero guitars and blow up mics and guitars. The video has a real fun feel to it because it is obvious that the fans are enjoying the experience to star in one of their favourite bands video.
From watching the video it is clear that it may have taken many takes and planning to get all the timing right, but it seems they have succeeded in the end. The video is simple but effective; the single continues shot of the fans walking around in East London's Brick Lane looks amateur; however the fans performance makes it a fun enjoyable video to watch. The final scene where the actually band turn around and start singing completes the video and make's it what I think one of the best "fan" videos around
