My friend Jack, a friend from the ad program, showed me this music video he made with a few friends. I think this is great…love the music video idea to show a pretty accurate representation of what it is like to live in Eugene and go to college at the U of O (Perhaps I am bias as I had so much fun with our 7Eleven hiphopera…).
Everything from showcasing the different sites of Eugene, campus bars, crazy bus station…and I have to say, Jack and his friend represent a good portion of students seen walking down the streets of the U of O.
If the U of O wanted to work on transparency, perhaps embedding videos such as these on the UO website would give potential and current students an opportunity to see exactly what goes down, rather than mailing out pamphlets with a hyper-diversified group of students in front of the U of O sign, adorned with duck paraphernalia from head to toe. Because, well…that just doesn’t happen. And certainly isn’t UO or Eugene. But, I digress.
Believing in Eugene:
For a second I thought this would be a remix to Asher Roth’s ‘I Love College.’ The ending is hilarious. Imagine if state schools took a ’09 Skittles approach to their official websites.
May I just say on a nerdy note that the camera work is REALLY impressive in this video?
