The Silver Screen

Long before "Wasssup!" Budweiser made commercial history with three frogs and later a weasel. Ever wonder how they got those frogs to talk, or that lovable weasel to dance? The University's Film and Media Society put on a program at the Virginia Film Festival last weekend to help students learn about such puzzling imagery. The program, "Storming the Media," is just one example of the society's efforts dedicated to assisting students' work in filmmaking, as well as encouraging general interest in independent films. One of the renowned guests the FMS brought to the program is Stan Winston, who spoke at the Festival on his creature special effects studio.
