Ole Miss Mini Tour!

I love Ole Miss and love putting videos like this together to share just how beautiful our campus is. Thanks to Felicity Flesher for some awesome video she shot. Hope you enjoy!

Meet Me in Southaven.

Last week we spent a few days in Southaven to produce a 30-second regional spot for the Ole Miss Southaven campus. The commercial will showcase several Ole Miss students from all walks of life who are earning their degree at Southaven. It was a great chance to use our Red One Digital Cinema Camera and really test its legs in a variety of locations. Special thanks to Karen Tuttle and Matt Minshew for their hard work during the shoot and Pam Starling for producing the spot. Check back soon for the finished commercial.  – Matthew

 

MDP shines at the OFF.

I hope you will indulge my expressing the pride I feel for the folks I am lucky enough to work with every day. Their talent was showcased at the Oxford Film festival. Nice job Micah Ginn and Matthew Graves–“The Hanging of Big Todd Wade,” Matthew Graves–“Oh Christmas Triage,” and Joe York– “Mississippi Innocence,” which played to 4 full houses.

Thanks also to Karen Tuttle for keeping us all on track and for assuming videographer duties during the festival.  –Andy

 

Let's Shoot This Thing

Last week we spent some time with the Ole Miss Rifle team producing a spot for them. Here’s a look behind the scenes of the shoot. I have a tendency while shooting to ask for one more take 5 or 6 times before I actually mean it! Check back in few days for the final cut.  Special thanks to Micah Ginn, Matt Minshew, Karen Tuttle, and Kim Duff for their help on the spot.

Ole Miss Moments

A collection of still and video moments that capture the spirit of the University of Mississippi. Produced by Karen Tuttle of the Media & Documentary Projects Center.

Pathway to Reconcilation

MDP was at the Overby Center tonight for “Ole Miss and the People of the World: A Symposium on Reconciliation.”  The panel, sponored by the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation, and moderated by Chanellor Dan Jones, looked at ways we can work toward reconciliation with nations we have historically had strained relations with.

A Capitol Event

The Overby Center hosted a unique press conference style conversation with Govemor Barbour this week.  Karen jostled for position to make sure we could record the event, which will be on OMTV soon.

The Giants Are Coming

Here are some set-up pics from today’s shoot at Tad Smith Colliseum. Micah Ginn and Matthew Graves are producing an update to the successful “Basketball Giants” spot for the Ole Miss Men’s Basketball team. Apparently, this blue cloth was all that was holding Karen (pictured) back from grabbing the players. Check back soon for the finished spot.

Covering the Campus

In addition to our own documentary work and working with student filmmakers, the Media and Documentary Projects Center helps produce and record campus events.  October has been an especially busy month (and we haven’t even gotten to the Southern Foodways Alliance Symposium yet!).

A New Batch of Storytellers

Here are some pics from the Filmmaking Workshop that Micah and I have been teaching this week. The class was a whirlwind experience in filmmaking, covering things like camera, lighting, sound, acting, directing and screenwriting; culminating in a final short scene that the class filmed in three different groups. Pictured are some of the students conferring with their storyboards and setting up their shots. Special thanks goes out to Karen Tuttle and Chris Williams who stepped up huge today and played the actors for each of the three scenes. Everybody worked really hard today getting their film in the can. Now all that’s left to do is edit and pop up the popcorn. Check back soon for the finished scenes.

Media Production was there in force to cover the listening session for the newly announced Chancellor, Dr. Dan Jones. Pictured is Greg Grey, our ringer from Memphis, Andy Harper and Karen Tuttle who were streaming the all day Q&A sessions over the web. Not pictured are Micah Ginn and Matthew Graves who were there documenting the event and providing a news package for use over satellite (or “the bird” as the insiders call it). Congratulations to Chancellor Jones for his accomplishment and we at the Media and Documentary Projects Center look forward to working with him.
