Saturday, January 16, 2010
The Shorewood/Shorecrest videos have now surpassed 900,000 views on YouTube and attracted worldwide attention.
Shorewood High School video production teacher Marty Ballew and student Javier Caceres will appear on a segment of “Rachael Ray” on Monday, January 18 at 3 p.m. on KIRO-TV Channel 7. Ballew and Caceres traveled to New York City this week for the show’s taping, and a film crew from “Rachael Ray” came to Shorewood on Jan. 8.
Set to Hall and Oates' "You Make My Dreams Come True," the Shorewood Video Production I class, led by teacher Marty Ballew and student Javier Caceres, filmed the video completely in reverse. The students even learned the lyrics backwards. It has become an instant Internet sensation and both videos have been praised on dozens of blogs worldwide. Ashton Kutcher and Ben Stiller have been "tweeting" about it on Twitter. The Shorewood video has received more than 500,000 views on YouTube since its debut.

Shorecrest’s "Hey Ya" video debuted in November and has become hugely popular as well on YouTube. The class, taught by Trent Mitchell, who has been friends since childhood with Ballew, filmed the lip-synched video to the popular Outkast song and challenged their cross-town rivals to match their efforts.
