Film festival features famed moviesARTS
Largest submission pool in its history allows DeadCENTER to show the best
TAMMY BOYD Life and Arts reporter
Over 1,000 f i lms were submitted to the 2014 DeadCENTER film festival, the largest applicant pool in the festival’s history. Just over 100 films were eventually chosen to show at the festival, encompassing a wide va-riety of formats, styles and genres that ensured there was something for everyone.
As with many film festivals, short films ruled at DeadCENTER. Over 800 of the submitted films were shorts, as were about 65 of the films chosen to screen at DeadCENTER. The shorts were organized into several collections, including the always-popular Okie Shorts, short films from Oklahoma filmmakers, and Comedy Shorts.
Other shorts collections included All in the Family, a look at the sometimes-dysfunctional collectives we come from, Friday the 13th Shorts, a collection of horror films in recognition of Friday the 13th occurring during DeadCENTER, and KidsFEST, a collection of shorts ap-propriate for the younger members of the family.
Similar diversity was found in the narrative films screened at the festival. Comedy kicked off the festival on Thursday night with the first showing of Comedy Shorts and the festival’s opening film “The Trip to Italy.” Other narrative films ready to tickle the funny bone included “Frank,” “The Dramatics” and “Rough Cut.”
Horror had a strong showing on Friday the 13th with the cult classic “Children of the Corn” as well as the new film “Army of Frankensteins,” which was shot on location in Oklahoma. The two feature-length films were accom-panied by a Friday the 13th shorts collection.
Suspense and thrillers were also well represented in narrative films. The winner of the Grand Jury Narrative Feature this year was “Hellion,” which tells the story of 13-year-old Jacob, whose obsession with metal music and motocross unsettles his family. In addition,
DeadCENTER executive director Lance McDaniel directed the Catholic thriller “Light From the Darkroom.” And 2013’s Academy Award winner for Best Short Film (Live Action), “Curfew,” was expanded to the feature-length film “Before I Disappear.”
The documentaries at this year’s DeadCENTER were equally impressive. The winner of this year’s Grand Jury Documentary Feature was “Alive Inside,” which follows Dan Cohen as he uses iPods to work with nursing home res-idents suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia. This year’s Special Jury Prize went to another documentary, “The Case Against 8,” which chronicles the fight to overturn California’s Proposition 8, banning gay marriage.
Biographies were well represented among this year’s documentaries, particularly those on female activists. The first woman showcased this year was Edith Gaylord in the film “The Quiet Philanthropist: The Edith Gaylord Story.” Another Oklahoma woman, LaDonna Harris, was featured in the documentary, “LaDonna Harris: Indian 101.”
This year’s Special Jury Oklahoma winner was “Sewing Hope,” the story of Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe and her ef-forts to rebuild the lives of Ugandan girls traumatized by Joseph Kony and his Lord’s Resistance Army.
A discussion of DeadCENTER films would not be com-plete without mentioning this year’s Best Oklahoma Film, “The Posthuman Project.” Dazzling special effects and a heartwarming story provide family fun in this campy sci-fi story.

Sooner talents take the screen in OKCAlumni’s short films obtain roles in international cinema celebrationTammy BoydLife and Arts reporter
At last week’s DeadCENTER Film Festival, five alumni screened four short films, two in the Okie Shorts collection and two in the Comedy Shorts collection. As entertaining as these films were, the participation of all but one alum in the Q&A sessions after the films was far more entertain-ing. Comedy was the most popular film style, although the alumni deftly wove in elements of suspense and science fiction as well.
The Comedy Shorts were part of the DeadCENTER opening night on Thursday. An hour before the shorts were scheduled to start, the theater was already full of at-tendees waiting to see what has become one of the festi-val’s favorite collections of shorts.
The OU alumni in the Comedy Shorts collection were shown back-to-back in the middle. The first film was Chris Ivanovskis’s “Because You Watched,” which told the hys-terical, and somewhat terrifying, story of Mike trying to straighten out his Netflix queue after his roommate, Adam, used his account to watch and rate films on topics like “why Hitler was right” and “how to kill your roommate.” Nearly all of the movie titles featured in the film were actu-al movies you can rent from Netflix.
The next film in the Comedy Shorts was Bryce Holland’s “Life’s a Bitch, and then You’re Dead,” which was a ro-mantic comedy told from the boyfriend’s point of view. Unfortunately, the boyfriend is now a zombie. Even more unfortunate, as the title suggests, everyone dies.
Friday night was the first showing of the Okie Shorts col-lection. Like the Comedy Shorts, the theater was packed
well in advance of the actual show time. A large number of the filmmakers were present, as were their families and friends — not to mention the festival attendees and the press.
Ted Satterfield’s “The Lightning Round,” which won the 2012 DeadCENTER screenplay prize, was the fourth film shown. The film tells the story of a couple trying to get to know one another better by asking each other five ques-tions in a rapid “lightning round” format. Both receive un-expected answers from the other and, from there, things rapidly unravel.
Todd Greenlee’s and Robert Johnson’s film “Landmarks” was screened several films later. “Landmarks” tells the story of a man traversing a dangerous valley known to cause hallucinations that lead travelers to their death. He is braving the valley to recover the body of his dead brother, DeaDcenter Photos ProviDeD
one of the landmarks found in the valley. Although the man finds his brother’s body with the help of a guide (or so he thinks), he is unable to bring his brother’s body home.
A p p r o x i m a t e l y 6 5 s h o r t f i l m s w e r e s h o w n a t DeadCENTER, chosen from an applicant pool of a little over 800. Although none of the OU shorts took home any awards this year, the films were entertaining and engaging nonetheless. And it was encouraging to see both how ro-bust the film scene is in Oklahoma, as well as what a strong role OU plays in it.

Get ready to bleedCrimson Creamand
Annual camp seeks to inspire, connect incoming students to the university through play
Mark a. ruedy & Stefanie tapkeNews Reporters
Camp Crimson is back for 2014, kicking off June 18 with a session specifically tailored toward transfer students, helping to make the transition to OU as smooth as possible.
“We have a saying that here at OU. There are two types of students: those that went to Camp Crimson and those that wish they had.” said Bliss Brown, Camp Crimson orienta-tion guide. “Camp Crimson not only allows new students to connect with one another, but it also teaches them about the common traditions that thread us together as a Sooner fami-ly, together as one.”
Meeting thousands of new faces, memorizing the location of every building, mastering a school schedule and trying to find organizations of interest are just a few of the tasks await-ing OU freshman. On a campus as big as OU’s, becoming ori-ented can seem like a daunting task.
The goal of Camp Crimson: Transfer session is to aquaint transfer students with OU traditions and familiarize them with OU campus in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Camp al-lows students to make new friends and mentors in their soon-to-be second home.
“Just having that one familiar face come August can be incredibly helpful,” said Blessing Ikpa, Camp Crimson crew member.
Making connections with influential faculty and staff mem-bers is another benefit offered to campers each year through the Namesake program.
Each Camp Crimson session honors an OU faculty or staff member for his or her service on campus by making him or her a Camp Crimson Namesake. Being a Camp Crimson Namesake allows outstanding faculty and staff members to connect with a segment of OU’s incoming class in a special way.
“The Namesake program has proven to be rewarding for both faculty and staff and the campers,” said John Gramlich, Camp Crimson orientation guide.
This year’s Camp Crimson transfer session honors Andy Roop, OU’s executive director of recruitment services, as its namesake.
As director of recruitment services, Roop understands the importance of Camp Crimson’s influence on recruiting and assisting new students in adjusting to OU.
“Camp Crimson is a great opportunity for recruitment at OU,” said Roop. “It allows us to reassure students they made
the right decision in picking OU. We can ease any fears they might have about their move here, especially those of transfer students.”
The Camp Crimson: Transfer session runs from June 18 through June 20. Students in all sessions can look forward to exploring campus, meeting influential staff, faculty and students, making new friends and, of course, singing plen-ty of Boomer Sooner. Subsequent sessions run Wednesday through Friday every week until July 25, except for the week of July 4.
As of June 13, over 2,000 incoming students signed up to attend the five sessions offered this summer, according to the Camp Crimson Facebook page.
Camp Crimson assures all participants that even though over 2,000 students are attending, they will still have the opportunity to make friends. The program breaks the stu-dents into smaller groups to help better acquaint them with other incoming students and help them establish lasting friendships.

Tony Ragle/The Daily
Counselors make up the famous “welcome tunnel” and swarm campers as they arrive at the dorms for Camp Crimson ‘13. The “welcome tun-nel” is one of the first notable excentric moments the campers experience.
Tony Ragle/The Daily1: Camp Crimson Counselors party on the sidewalk between Walker and Couch Dorms to get campers ready for 3 days of fun at Camp Crimson.
Tony Ragle/The Daily2: Campers test out their boats made from cardboard and tape in a race at the pool party on Thursday Night. The three teammates of the winning team received limited editions OU Tank tops after their victory.
Tony Ragle/The Daily3: Students sing “Ain’t No Thang” by Ronald Jenkees at Crimson Chaos. The song is introduced as a Camp Crimson tradition.
Andy Roop is the executive director of Recruitment Services. He graduated from OU in 1998 with a Bachelor of Science and received a Master of Science in Higher Education Administration in 2001, also from OU. His fa-vorite place on campus is the entrance to the South Oval. He enjoys spending time with his son and listening to music, as long as it isn’t country, according to his online OU profile.
• “Transfer students coming to OU from community colleges or smaller private schools often arrive believing myths about moving to a bigger, public university like OU. These rumors often make them unsure and feel unpre-pared for what lies ahead of them, but we’re here to make sure they’re ready and they’re confident as well.”
• “Often, many students transferring from other four-year public universities assume their experience at OU will be nearly identical to that of their previous school, when in fact there are usually many differences. We aim to show campers how different their experience here at OU can be.”
• “I hope they are able to connect with each other (other transfers) and also current students and realize that OU isn’t as big as they think that it is.”

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 2014
You are so sensitive to the needs of others that you could get into fi nancial trouble if you are too giving. Lots of changes are present, so make sure you have the funds on hand to follow your dreams. Invest in you, not someone else.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Donʼt become lazy in your work habits. Your peers depend on you to do your best. There are skilled people willing to jump in and take your place. Protect your reputation.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You should concentrate on romantic and sentimental issues. Itʼs likely someone you love feels the same way, so make plans to do something special. Self-improvement projects will pay off.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Consider remodeling or redesigning your home. Check out real estate in your region to get a host of good ideas that will help improve your domestic scene.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Donʼt make any spur-of-the-moment decisions. Question the motives of someone who is trying to talk you into a controversial or unproven investment. Protect your assets.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Let everyone know about your innovative ideas. Applying your creative talents to your work will help you outmaneuver any competition you encounter. Put your best foot forward.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --Invest in you. Donʼt hesitate to seize an opportunity. Get the ball rolling and turn your dreams into reality. Itʼs up to you to make things happen.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Donʼt wait until itʼs too late. If something isnʼt going your way, deal with it head-on. Youʼll feel much better once you know you have nothing to worry about.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --Listen to the voice of experience. Your friends and relatives want to help. They have faith in your talents and will do the best they can on your behalf.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You will gain a lot of meaningful insight and information if you listen to an older or more experienced friend or relative. Free your head of distractions and offer your undivided attention.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You may feel let down if someone decides to do things without you. Let him or her have some space, and look for an activity you can pursue on your own.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - A little exploring could lead you to discover what is going on behind the scenes. Someone will try to withhold vital information regarding a decision you need to make.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Donʼt let restlessness lead to trouble. A good cure for boredom is doing yard work or home repairs. You can avoid complaints if you take care of responsibilities without being asked.

Engineering students created an app to help children understand the weather by sim-ulating flight plans. This will give them a bird’s eye perspective of real-life weather situa-tions, including tornados.
“Storm Evader,” made for the iPad, was created as a game with typical functions like ca-reer mode, free play and tutorials, only with hidden meteorology themes. Players select a date in the past year, and the app will access the weather activity that occurred that day. Players then have to plan their simulated flights according to the weather from that day.
Amy McGovern, associate professor of computer science and adjunct associate pro-fessor of meteorology, started the proj-ect over two years ago.
“We really wanted to focus on finding a way to combine research and outreach, and I think we have,” McGovern said.
McGovern received a $600,000 grant from the National Science Foundation. She went on to form a team of three College of Engineering students, David Harrison, Marissa Been and Andrea Balfour.
Together they worked full time over the past two summers and part time in the fall and spring to create “Storm Evader.”
“It was hard but fun work,” Harrison said. “Our goal was to get a young audi-ence interested in weather.”
By using everyday activities, they have tried to show the relationship of interpreting weather into a real world application. The team chose attempt to convey this message through a game in hopes to make weather more relatable to children.
“Ultimately we just want to make weather fun,” Beene said.The team originally met in McGovern’s classes, which is where they began the process
of making the app. In the coming year, they hope their game can educate students across the nation about how weather patterns work.
“It feels good to reach out to people,” said Balfour. “Being able to work together on some-thing that would become available to the public was really cool, because I would not have that opportunity otherwise.”
They are in the process of creating more games to be released in the following years. “Storm Evader” is free to download under the OU educational license.
