SWS Theme decided!

Traditionally every year to keep the 2 separate awards separate, we give them their own identities/themes.  And this year's Student Works Show theme has just been unveiled...  vintage Pop (Comic) Art!

It gives a nod to the early 1960s vintage black-tie theme of the Arties, but keeps the two distinctly different.  Plus the student works show gallery always lends itself to be a little more hip & spunky/edgy ;)


If you're still trying to figure out how the Arties are different from the SWS, we've laid it out exactly for you...check out the info in the new Facebook Event, to explain what these events are all about.  While you're there, RSVP to let us know you'll be there, and invite JBU friends & family too!

PS- Here are a bunch of great images to inspire your attire for the evening Arties event; just click the blue numbers:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.
Also check out the links in our last post, and here's one cool modern twist on the look.

Arties/SWS: Dates, Times

Just an up date on new confirmed details...

Student Works Show submissions accepted between February 9th-11th (Wed-Fri.).  The Student Works will all be hung in the gellary which opens Feb. 17th.
All entries are $5, and $3 for COAST members.  Check back soon for some more specifics on changes to the Cinema category this year.
Any student can submit multiple works, that are original & created after last year's SWS.

The SWS Gallery Reception will be from 6-7p, before the Arties award ceremony, at 7:30p in the downtown Community Building.  The SWS & Arties winners are announced at the big event- Thursday night, March 10th.

This year's Arties theme is "Vintage Black-tie"...late '50s/'60s.  You know, 'frocks' & fedoras.  For inspiration think Mad Men, or even the wardrobe of White Collar's Neal Caffrey, for the guys.

SWS / ARTIES just around the Corner!

Just an 'early' reminder to start working on your pieces to submit to the Student Works Show held every Spring semester.

Every Spring COAST puts on a Student Works Show where any student can submit as many pieces of original art work from that year, as they'd like.  They all get judged by professionals in the fields, and every piece is exhibited in the Art Building's Gallery for one big student Art Show.  Plus there are always big cash prizes for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd places of each art category!

This year's SWS Gallery exhibit is a little earlier than usual: February 17th - March 18th, 2011.  The deadline to submit your art will be even earlier, so that there is plenty of time to judge before getting it put up in the Gallery.  
So start spreading the word now, and working on the pieces you'll want to enter for those big prizes!

And don't forget the big cherry on top. It's all wrapped up with the big ARTIES award ceremony event where the SWS winners will also be announced & the prizes distributed.  A really fun, exciting event for the whole creative JBU community! 


More detailed info on dates, rules, etc. coming soon...

We're starting to get things rolling for a new year of COAST, and we want to make it a great one. Full of events pertinent to you, and truly involving all of the communicative art departments this year...that includes you, Music/Broadcast/Communication students!

Please be on the lookout here and on campus bulletin boards for posts & posters with more info as more events roll along.

"Chalk-It-Up," is happening this Saturday, September 18th, from 10am to Noon.
The city of Siloam Springs puts on this event every year. Local kids come for face painting, sidewalk chalk, Pla-Doh, jewelry making and other art activities.

COAST students have helped out 2 years running, and this year we've volunteered again to bring students to help run the different booths, and we would love your help! This is your opportunity to get involved! Anybody (COAST member or not) is welcome to come help.

We will meet at the Flagpoles, Saturday morning before 9:30a. We will leave at 9:30 to travel to the La-Z-Boy Softball Complex in town. Drivers are needed as well, if you have a car and can help shuttle people to the event, please come prepared to drive.

"The Crossing" screenings! (Update)

What you've all been waiting for! Many of you couldn't make it, only got to see the last bit, or couldn't get a great view in the standing-room-only, due to the throngs of viewers who showed up to the premiere night.

So we'll be having a few more screenings before the semester is out. Come Monday through Thursday this week, at 8pm in the smaller Theatre room, ART 112, in the Art building.
Come watch it again and bring a friend!

Thanks!
-KWA :)

All-COAST Meeting: Calligraphy Workshop

One of our last all-COAST meetings of the year, Mr. Andrus is giving a Calligraphy Workshop on Thursday night (the 22nd) from 6:30-8p in Art 115.

Come have fun learning a beautiful new artistic technique. A great break from the stresses of the semester, and a fun time with your fellow art students.

We'd also really appreciate you take a second to RSVP to the Facebook Event, so we have plenty of materials for everyone (though you don't have to, to come anyway).
See you there!

-KWA :)

The Crossing: behind the scenes

Once again, thank you everyone for coming out to see the premier of COAST's first annual SFS short film. Stay posted for information on how to get the DVD.

Something I forgot to mention was that at the premier Andrew Armstrong, the president of COAST, announced the second annual short film production. COAST invites you to be part of next year's big production! The Student Filmmaker Society will be taking script submissions Fall semester, 2010. You're script could be the next movie we produce. So if you have a script idea, start writing now!

Check out this Facebook photo album to see more photos from the premier. Also, become a fan of The Crossing fan page on Facebook for more content.

Here is the latest movie trailer, edited by Steven Wold, that made its first appearance at the Arties in March.



Okay, now for some behind the scenes photos:
This album has photos from the auditions
and this album has photos from our location scouting.

I'll update this post soon with more links to photos.

The Crossing: Update

On Friday evening JBU students, faculty, and other ladies and gentlemen packed into the Bynum Theater to see the first showing of The Crossing.

For the first COAST SFS annual student film, I think it's a good start. Over 40 JBU students were involved in the making of this film, and it is definitely something each one of them can be proud of.

This whole semester has been filled with production work and with students putting in long hours to shoot and edit this film. The last day of shooting involved three locations and lasted over 14 hours for the crew and some of the actors. Powered by sugar, caffeine, and determination, several students ignored the existence of sleep in order to finish the editing in time for the premier.

I directed the film and put a lot of hours into the making of it, but The Crossing can't rightly be called my film. So many students took responsibility and fulfilled their roles, remained dedicated through the whole production, and on many occasions went beyond the call of duty to make this thing happen.

That's what I'm so excited about; the fact that so many people put so much work into this film. This wasn't a class project they did for a grade. This was film making for the love of film making. Coming out of this, those who were on the cast and crew now have extra experience and skills they can take to the next COAST film, their own class projects, even a job or internship on a crew. To those who worked on this film, I congratulate you for a job well done.

We're still working on some editing tweaks, but in the meantime we will be showing the film several more times in the JBU Art Building. Stay posted for more info on the schedule.

We had a lot of fun making this film and would love to share some of our experience with you. Check back later for more behind the scenes photos and information. For now, check out this map to see the places where we shot the movie.














Thanks everyone for coming to see the premier!

"The Crossing" to premiere tonight!

** UPDATE: Location has changed to the Bynum Theatre due to inclimate weather! Read more below.**
COAST's Student Filmmakers Society has completed its first annual student short film production!

The original working title has officially been changed to The Crossing, and will make its debut at the first SFS movie premiere tonight at 9pm in the Bynum Theatre of the Walton Health Complex on campus (the theatre is immediately inside the front entrance of the WHC).

The premiere is immediately following the Art Department's Senior Portfolio Show tonight from 4:30 to 9p. So come support the JBU Art students, see their beautiful works from the past few years, and then head right over to enjoy the first COAST student film production. Plus there'll be rootbeer floats, and possibly other yummy snacks like popcorn and the like.

We can't wait for you to see all the great work the students have put into this project!
--
Since the title change there is also a new official Facebook Page
under construction (but currently accessible) for The Crossing, as we work to transfer all that data to the new page. So don't forget to become a fan, and check back here for more information as it comes.

If you become a Facebook Fan you'll receive more information on The Crossing DVD coming soon, to be sold in the JBU Bookstore or online.


Hope to see you all there tonight!

COAST's Quartermaster production update



The 1st Annual COAST SFS short film production is well under way. We are already almost 1/2 way through, having completed principle photography for 7 of 16 script pages. And things are going really well.

One very short teaser has already been edited and put together with music, by Producer, Andrew Armstrong (see below). The Quartermaster also has it's own Facebook page now, where you can view the teaser in full HD!




The little bit of footage seen in this first cut together teaser is already receiving big praise, and looks top of the line, rivaling some of the best HD video currently being produced in the mainstream.


Director, Jesse Daniel, specifically points out how integral his amazing crew has been through the whole production. He explains how great it is that with each shoot they only get better and better at working cohesively as a team and getting things going smoothly and with professionalism...really aiding in the great turn out of footage we're seeing so far.



--
Make
sure and become a 'follower' of this blog and add it to your Google Reader, or RSS feed to keep up-to-date on what's happening with this exciting student-led production! And become a fan, on Facebook, too.

"The Quartermaster"


Production Update, 02/10/2010


Cast:


Call-back auditions were held Monday, February 1.

These auditions will help to determine which actors

will fill one remaining lead role and two remaining

supporting roles, they serve as follow-up to the

initial auditions held the previous week, enabling

Director Jesse Daniel to narrow his options and

make the best possible casting decision about key

roles in the upcoming film. So far, the production

has formally hired eight actors and is in the

process of choosing two more.


Crew:


The production team of “The Quartermaster” is

expanding rapidly as students and faculty across

the JBU campus begin to gain interest in the

project. In the first week of February alone the

production has hired three Russian translators,

two production photographers, two camera operators

and a graphic designer. Some positions that still

need to be filled include Editors, Production Assistants,

Gaffers, Sound Technicians and additional volunteers

for a PR team.


Equipment:


“The Quartermaster” will be the first COAST film to

be shot entirely on digital SLR cameras. Using

this cutting-edge technology, in combination with

the innovative Redrock Micro System (provided by

the Digital Media Department at JBU), the

filmmakers will be able to shoot in the very best

high-definition video, with all the advantages of a

flexible, handheld camera system.


Schedule:


In order to make the most of the available time

frame, the producers of “The Quartermaster” are

fast-tracking the production schedule, and plan to

begin principle photography on 02/11/2010.

Although production is already well underway,

additional help is still welcomed.

For information about how you can volunteer to help

on the production of “The Quartermaster” and

receive title credit for your work, please contact

one of the following people.
