“The thing to remember about zombies is that they're brain-dead hulks prone to staggering around aimlessly,”
reports a release from Juniata College, “so it's doubly amazing that a
group of Juniata College filmmakers were able to enliven the living dead
long enough to complete a movie that won the college a $12,000 prize.”
Juniata earned first place recognition for "Showtime," a zombie film
created for "Show Us Your ETC," a contest sponsored by ETC Inc.
(Electronic Theatre Controls). The company specializes in theater
lighting. For first prize the firm bestowed a theatrical lighting board
on Juniata's film team, which will control lighting and effects lighting
in the Suzanne von Liebig Theatre. The equipment is worth more than
$12,000. "This was filmed right before finals in December so many people
on campus were walking around like zombies anyway," says Gus Redmond, a
sophomore from Bethesda, Md., who originated the project when he
discovered the online contest on the ETC website.
