This morning, Micah Ginn and Matthew Graves went on location to the Oxford High School gymnasium to shoot footage for an upcoming basketball training video. This afternoon will be spent in the newly renovated studio to finish the shoot.
SROW Off!
This past weekend, the University of Mississippi hosted some 1,500 student orientation leaders for the Southern Regional Orientation Workshop (SROW). Micah Ginn and Andy Harper were there to record their Song, Skit, and Dance competition at the Tad Pad. It was a lively bunch and they showed tremendous spirit and sportsmanship (first time we’d seen other SEC schools doing the gator chomp in support of Florida!).
Keeping the Reunion on Track
This weekend, producer Micah Ginn directed the video content for the Ole Miss Black Alumni & Family Reunion held at the Inn at Ole Miss. The evening was a great success honoring several distinguished alumni. Pictured is Ginn at the computer and grad student Noah Bunn operating the video switcher. Check back this week for more info about this memorable weekend.
Brown Bags and Powder Blue Helmets
MDP Producer Micah Ginn enthralled those assembled at the Southern Studies brown bag this week with his lecture entitled “Football Flashbacks: Classic Film Footage from the Ole Miss Archives.” Micah is going through all of the Ole Miss football films, restoring them, and transferring the film to digital format. Along the way he has come across many gems, some of which he shared in his brown bag.

"Are You Ready?" Campaign in the Tad Pad
Momentum continues to grow with the Media and Documentary Projects Center Ole Miss “Are You Ready?” campaign. And while the Rebels couldn’t hold off the Crimson Tide’s hot shooting, the crowd enthusiastically welcomed David Huertas on the big screen.
Get Ready to Research
Here are some pics from our recent shoot at the Thad Cochran Research Center for the upcoming “Are You Ready?” Research Center spot we’re producing. On the left, Producers Micah Ginn and Matthew Graves set up for a dolly shot in one of the labs. In the shot on the right, Graves sets up for a trick shot we’re hoping to use where the scientist pours liquid into a beaker right on top of the camera. Stay tuned for the final spot and look for the finished beaker shot.
QEP Me!…One Last Time
Here is the final version of the University of Mississippi’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) spot we produced. Directed, shot, edited, and scored by Matthew Graves. Produced by Andy Harper and Matthew Graves. Check out the QEP website here.
"Are You Ready?" campaign spot: Gametime…
This ad is comprised of two very different elements. I took our camera out back during August practices and captured some sights and sounds of season preparation, then a month later I was in the tunnel under Vaught Hemingway Stadium as the team made their way onto the field amidst the screams and cheers of loyal fans. The reality that championships are won during the off-season was the inspiration for this ad. We generally never get to glimpse the hard work and sacrifice that goes into top-level performance on game day, but you can’t have the moment in the winner’s circle without spending the grueling hours earning it. The 2008 Rebel football squad earned it.
Produced by Micah Ginn
"Are You Ready?" David Huertas Spot
Recently Matthew Graves and I spent some time in the Tad Smith Coliseum,working with Robbie Coker of the basketball coaching staff and players David Huertas and Terrico White, to produce a couple of spots in the “Are You Ready?” campaign. Check back in a few days for the high-flying Terrico White spot. We had a lot of fun working with these talented student-athletes, and we thank them and Robbie Coker for helping us keep the “Are You Ready?” campaign going.
