Multimedia Show- Help Needed

I’m sending this again because I never saw it come through the list and I don’t know if it ever did.

Jarred Marlatt needs some filmmakers to help with a show he’s doing (which I hope hasn’t passed already!) He explains that it “revolves around the story of a man and his insanity. The story takes place after World War II and examines the often-blurry line between reality and dreams. Many scenes require video and often have characters walk off stage and onto the screen. Because of technological nature of the show, we would like to extend a request to the MFA for at least two camera operators, a video editor, and a sound/lighting person. If interested, they could get in contact with me directly at jm232346@muhlenberg.edu, or through my Stage Manager Jean-Marie at JS233042@gws3.muhlenberg.edu. If this could be relayed to the MFA that would be a big help.”

DIY Conference

I’m participating in a major Do It Yourself Video conference in early Feb (more info here: http://www.video24-7.org/.) The organizers want to make a quick and dirty film as an introduction to the conference, and so are asking for as many people as possible to submit video of themselves or others reading the following script. (Link and text below:)

I’m emailing you guys who have made Quick and Dirty movies or answered MFA weekly challenges to find out if any of you can/would film yourselves or someone else, either with a webcamera or a digital camera (you can record in quicktime with an Isight, for instance.)

The deadline is THIS Thursday, though, so it’s seriously quick and dirty! I just thought one of you guys might want to come play. Creativity is welcome–you can read or perform or do anything else with the script.

If you want to, you can upload the footage to sendspace (sendspace.com) and send me a link and I’ll send it on to DIY.

Cheers,

FC

Film Review Program

Hello again,

As I mentioned at the meeting last week, the film studies program will be starting a broadcast film review program this fall. This involves having student reviewers who will see films before the release date, then write and record reviews to be broadcast Friday nights on WMUH and also podcast.

We’re looking for a pool of about 10 reviewers, including one coordinator, to do this. You would write a review about once a month or so (assuming two get written a week).

The only catch is that some of the films might require going to Philadelphia, since that is where the preview screenings are. If you don’t have a car or access to one, we might be able to match you up with someone who does, so don’t let that exclude you.

You’ll get some training, a great resume addition, and a small “scholarship” to go with it. (Don’t think “pay your tuition” scholarship, think “pay for 1 textbook” scholarship)

To apply, you need to submit an application by campus mail by next Friday. Basically, you should explain why you think you should be chosen, describe any background or experience you have, including Muhlenberg film courses, and tell us how this will help you in the future.

Experience is not necessary – we’re primarily looking for people who are responsible, engaged, and enthusiastic. A passion for writing is a big plus.

Submit your application letters to Professor McEwan by campus mail or drop them off in Walson Hall (that little tiny brick building behind the science building) before Friday, September 21.

Good luck,
Professor McEwanfi
