…and I do hate to disagree with Jonah – still, I feel compelled to note the following with regard to this video:
- Olivet Nazarene University is a dry school. A seriously dry school.
- The students in that video made no attempt to hide their location. Or their names.
- No actual drinking took place in that video.
- I think that we can also assume that there were multiple takes for most of those shots.
- In other words, this was five college students making a movie. With a soundtrack. Probably a script. Definitely a tripod – those weren’t hand-held camera shots. I’ve been playing with video footage myself lately, and it’s not easy.
- Most importantly, that was an interesting movie. Not the easiest thing in the world to find on YouTube, honestly.
So I think maybe their parents aren’t completely wasting their money.

Agree with your disagreement. nt

Don’t leave the party, hijack it back!
The only poll that counts is the one at the ballot box.

Nothing wrong in the video. Better pong-ing than hallucinating with drugs.

The silent movie is much better than Sean Penn’s corny movies.
Way to go, ONU guys!
Maybe..
tjexcite (Diary) Friday, May 1st at 8:01PM EST (link)It was homework for a engineering class, some of those ricochet shots are quite complicated if one takes the geometry needed to bounce of 3 table and a drawer. and have the table just at the right angle to send the ball in the right direction. But that too may be over thinking it.
When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all
I'm thinking a media communications class

From the looks of it, some of those guys probably have a future in the advertising biz.

more likely homework for the VFX class
I cannot keep my story straight on my political affiliation. Friday, May 1st at 8:25PM EST (link)I think it was mostly faked, but that’s still a ton of work, and they all deserve jobs.
Like how they put the ping pong balls in Forrest Gump.

Awesome!
youthgrunt (Diary) Saturday, May 2nd at 12:04PM EST (link)I loved it. I always thought that if you spent all your time studying at college you get burned out, anyway. This is a great way to unwind-even if it is not for a class as others have suggested.
If they are running a 1.5 GPA then I might think otherwise. But I see no reason to make such an assumption.
Can we get them to make conservative videos, we might be a bit better off.
Or hire them to produce RNC commericals...
SoFiMil (Diary) Saturday, May 2nd at 12:26PM EST (link)That was really well done. Entertaining, unlike a PowerPoint slide show. Who’s the director? I nominate him/her for a Noble Peace Prize.
