Menton’s Tourism office lipdub

After Menton’s Mc Donald, let us present you the tourism office’s lipdub. It was done for the Lemon Festival in 2010 during which was organized a lipdub contest. Warning, this lipdub is for us an excellent example of what you shouldn’t do…

What can we say about it? That this lipdub represents the team of Menton’s tourism office? That it was done by FYL Creation? That we believe that employees had fun and the scenario was well defined? Yes, ok for all the points but we miss the point. This is for us a beautiful example of what you shouldn’t do!

1) People were slaughtered, scars and even blood! People trapped in a cage,… In short, we really wonder if such a black world corresponds to an tourism office? This promotional lipdub gives us no desire to go in this small town located in the south of France. Moreover this lipdub doesn’t show us a welcoming city. When Yves Lefevre told us in a recent commentary (see reviews of Mac Donald Menton) that he was preparing this lipdub, we really expected something more colorful, more pleasing and more fun.

A spotlight on Menton, showing a dynamic and positive city (Didier Leonetti).

2)  We are surprised by the reaction of the Director of the tourism office, Didier Leonetti, who seems to defend this achievement. For the spotlight, ok. On the other hand, Mr. Leonetti should explain us what does he mean by “dynamic and positive.” Is it positive to slaying someone?

3) There are lags between the sound and images, lighting issues, a video format (4 / 3) a bit old, framing hesitant… Our Lipdub Team is really surprised by the quality of this lipdub used for an external communication. More disappointing, this lipdub was created by a so called agency specialized in ‘professional Lipdub’ (Fyl Creation). Or perhaps, this lipdub was offered and the crew has struggled with board facilities. In this case, mea culpa.

Menton in 2 words :

Located in the south of France near the Italian border, Menton is a city where the lipdub gather more and more followers. This goes further whith the creation of a lipdub festival. This new video media communication has been integrated in the Lemon Festival for a contest which is specifically reserved for the lipdub. The tourism office of Menton will host you with pleasure and will make you discover this pretty little town … if you dare even go there!
