"Hit the (five minute) showers!!"

 

As part of last week’s Green Week here at Ole Miss, we worked up a special commercial to run at the Sunday afternoon baseball game.  Assistant A.D. Jamil Northcutt came up with the hard-charging “Skipper Green” as the green-awareness coach for the Ole Miss Athletics Offices.  As you can see from the commercial, Skipper Green has an aggressive method for message delivery.

The production spanned Thursday afternoon and all day Friday for shooting and editing.  Student-workers Alyssa Manhold and Hunter Palmer pitched in on the shoot and we couldn’t have done it without them.  Matthew Graves was, as always,  keeping the whole thing together through a frantically-paced shoot.  

Thanks to Jamil Northcutt, Pete Boone, and everyone in athletics who took time out of their day to help spread the word on Green Week.  We had a lot of fun making the spot.

1971 Ole Miss Recruiting Film unearthed

 

I don’t know much about this film.  It is a part of our archive here at the Media and Documentary Projects Center, and was produced by our staff 38 years ago.  The title on the film canister says “1971 Recruiting Film”.  It might be missing a narration track, as there is no voice-over at all.  It is a bit disjointed, but nonetheless a nice slice-of-life look at the Ole Miss campus in the early 70’s.

This film transfer is part of our ongoing efforts to preserve the film history of the University.  I’ll try to keep posting some of these films as I get them transferred and preserved.  If you have any questions about this film, give us a call at 662-915-3475.
