Joplin High School students are featured in a music video posted Monday on YouTube.

The 11th and 12th grade students have produced a lip dub video to songs by the Black Eyed Peas and Katy Perry.

Video Production students organized the effort, casting those who would lip sync and mapping out the shoot through the mall and new school.

Hollywood photographer, Simon Jays, used a steady cam to do the shooting.  Jays works for HBO on the show "True Blood" and visited with the TV Production classes.

The video took two weeks to plan, three rehearsals and 1,000 students.

Teachers promise another video will be made starring freshman and sophomores at Memorial High School.
