GRAND RAPIDS LIP DUB VIDEO

This isn't a typical Yes Tech! post, but this video gives me the chills and needs to be shared!  I think of all the planning for this video and the collaboration and technology involved and know that it was a HUGE undertaking.  The video was created in response to a Newsweek article that put  Grand Rapids, Michigan on the top ten list of "dying cities" in America.  Over 3,000 people participated in the filming and it shows off the beautiful scenery of downtown Grand Rapids.  I love the ending, videotaped from a helicopter  The video is almost 10 minutes in length, and is well worth your time.   Congratulations to the creators and the people of Grand Rapids!

  2. This is great example of a community creatively solving a problem without placing blame. I have read that Newsweek has since come out and ‘revised’ their story on GR. Kudos to GR for creating this video.
