Most college students attemptsat orming bands never really get o the ground. Even i they do, ew actually have the talent,knowledge and ambition to besuccess ul. Enter Quiet Corral,a six-piece band comprised o aLawrence native and ormer KUstudents. A er only a year anda hal together, the band will beplaying alongside rock superstarssuch as Bush, Incubus and JanesAddiction at Buzz Beach Ball onFriday, Aug. 19.

Isaac Flynn and his childhoodriend Garrett Childers o en

talked about starting a band, butit wasnt until Childers and singerJesse Braswell Roberts met at their

raternity that the pieces began toall into place. By early January

2010, all six members started play-ing together. By November, they had written and recorded theirsel -titled LP, available on i unes,which Braswell Roberts describesas olk rock with undeniable popsensibilities.

A er building a local ollow-ing, the guys went on tour thissummer and played with radio

avorites and platinum recordingartists Matt Nathanson and Mum-

ord & Sons.Teyre really cool. Tey were

really nice, really complimentary,said Flynn.

Te tour provided them ample

opportunities to play to crowdso various sizes and enthusi-asm levels.

Its unny, we play in ronto 20 people and 2,000 peo-ple, said Flynn. Its kind o humbling to play to a smallercrowd. Weve been really or-tunate because a lot o bandsthat have only been at it or ayear go out on tour and play in

ront o ten people and do thator fve to 10 years, and weve

de eated that a little earlier on,he said. Were just really or-tunate that weve had enoughconnections early on.

Tose connections includeaccess to Massachusetts St. re-cording studio Te Art House,which is co-owned by Flynn,his ather, and Quiet Corraldrummer Jim Barnes. It wasthe help o Kansas City ra-dio DJ Jeriney, who hosts theHomegrown Buzz programon 96.5 Te Buzz that show-cases local artists, that allowedQuiet Corral to become morewidely exposed. Te bandplayed at several Buzz concertsbe ore landing the Beach Ballgig. But the Quiet Corral guysarent letting the big crowdsand big name bands go to theirheads.

I think were just excited toplay as much as we can whereverwe can, said Braswell Roberts.

Flynn added: Were havingun. Just the idea o it being able

to turn into a career at the mo-ment is really exciting. I thatsthe case, it doesnt get much bet-ter than this. We dont really know what to expect, and maybe thatspart o the excitement.

It is just another Sunday eveningin the Kaw Valley Kickball League.Players from the Blue Collar PressRockets drip sweat as they try tofind a way to rally and pull off a victory. They have only won twogames this season, and every gamecounts as they try to improve theirrecord before the playoffs. SarahRiley stands at home base andwatches the big red ball roll towardher.

Riley and the other players onthe field are members of a leaguethat has become so popular thatthere is now a wait list for teamsthat want to play next season.The Bleeding Kansas DodgeballLeague, also played in Lawrence,has experienced similar success.But KU students have not yet fully embraced the playground sportstrend.

Kickball is an interesting exam-ple in that it is a huge hit with the

city parks and recreation leaguesand yet it has not really takenoff at KU, said Matt Beck, theintramural coordinator for KURecreational Services. Weve triedkickball leagues and tournamentsand receive very little interest inplaying.

Kickball is just one of the unconventional intramural sports KUoffers. In past years, schedulesincluded foosball, dodgeball, wal-lyball a hybrid of volleyball andhandball played in a racquetballcourt and quickball, a sportBeck described as a form of wiffle-

ball with similar rules to baseballand is played indoors.

Despite these unique offerings,Beck said that traditional sportslike basketball are more popularwith students, and although kick-ball is fun, it is not taken as seri-ously as other sports.

Riley, a senior from OverlandPark, said that the reason kickballgames havent taken off could bebecause the intramural programsare not promoted enough to getstudents attention, or that studentsare more comfortable playingfamiliar sports.

I think it would be great to seemore unconventional sports playedin Lawrence and on campus, Riley said. I think they draw a differ-ent crowd of people and get morepeople involved in some really funsports.

One notable sport introducedto KU last year was Quidditch, thepastime of the wizarding worlddepicted in the Harry Potter series.The Universitys club team goes to

tournaments and play opponentssuch as Louisiana State University,Wichita State University and TexasTech, said team member Zack Castilleja, a junior from KansasCity.

And there are plenty of opportu-nities for students to introduce new sports like Quidditch to campussaid Beck.

Im constantly looking for thenext big thing that we can add, butI am open to student suggestions,he said. Lets hear them.

LOS ANGELES Te FinalDestination series has skirteddeath many times.

Originally conceived as asample script or Te X-Filesin 1995, it made the unusualtransition into a eature lm veyears later. Tat horror moviewas thought o by executivesat New Line Cinema as a low budget one-o , but when it be-came a surprise hit, a sequel wasquickly cooked up.

By 2009, ourth entry TeFinal Destination was, as itstitle implied, intended to n-ish the series. But despite nega-tive reviews and an reactions,3-D projection saved the day.Domestic box-o ce sales rosemodestly to $66 million, and in-

ternational grosses nearly dou-bled rom the previous high to$120 million, sending producersback to the drawing board yetagain.

As Final Destination 5 hitstheaters in 3-D this Friday, the

uture o the ranchise aboutteenagers who cheat death only to meet a grisly demise as retri-bution is uncertain. Pre-releaseaudience polling indicates itcould open $10 million lowerthan the $27.4-million debut o Te Final Destination, per-haps in part because audienceinterest in 3-D has waned overthe last year.

Were really ortunate to havea concept that can keep goingand going with new cast mem-bers or writers or directors, saidCraig Perry, who has producedall ve Final Destination lms.We could even take these mov-ies into the Old West or outerspace. Its only up to how longthe audience will have us.

In an industry obsessed withrepeatable ranchises and costcontrol, Final Destinationmay be a Hollywood marketersdream: an idea with endless it-

erations. Each movie is builtaround a series o set pieces in

which young cast members all victim to, or narrowly escape,an unlikely but pain ul end. In-struments o killing in the fhentry include a bridge collapse,acupuncture needles, and eyesurgery.

Every sequel includes a new group o young, up-and-coming,inexpensive actors, such as Nich-olas DAgosto rom the V show Heroes, who leads the cast o the latest installment. And a -ter two directors worked on the

rst our lms, Steven Quale,who previously did second-unitwork or James C ameron on Av-atar and itanic, took chargeo FinalDes t ina-tion 5.

As ar e s u l t ,W a r n e rBros. labelNew Linewas ableto bringdown theb u d g e t

rom close to $50 million orTe Final Destination to a lit-tle over $40 million or the new movie.

Being able to re-create theexperience but keep costs downby never making this a star-driven ranchise means we havecontinued to eel its worth re-peating, said New Line produc-tion President Richard Brener.

Original co-screenwriter Je -rey Reddick had come up with

the concept o ate seeking re- venge on peopl e who nd a way to cheat death as a sample X-Files script in order to land anagent. But when it turned into a

eature in development at New Line, where Reddick worked asan assistant at the time, execu-tives were wary o the lack o aniconic villain like Freddy Krue-ger o A Nightmare on Elm

Street.Tat was always the hard part

about getting the studio to comeon board, Reddick said. For awhile they had me conceptual-ize death as a spectral gure.

In the modern world o hor-ror lms, where high-conceptseries with unseen villains likeParanormal Activity are redhot, Final Destination may be more relevant than ever. ButPerry said pumping out annualsequels, as Paramount is doing

or the third year in a row withParanormal, is impossible orhis ranchise given the extensivespecial e ects.

Te hardest part, however,is simply coming up with cre-

ative ways ormore kids todie. People in-

volved in ma k-ing 2009s TeFinal Destina-tion admit thepicture wascreatively lack-ing, citing un-inspired scenes

such as an explosion in a theaterwhere people are watching a3-D movie.

Teyre hoping to make upor it this time around with a

new idea in Final Destination5: People targeted or deathcan escape their ate by killinganother person. Initial skepti-cism among horror ans who

elt burned in 2009 might makeit tough to match the $27.4-mil-lion opening o Te Final Des-tination.

But i word o mouth is goodenough, the studio is hope ulthat this new entry could stillmatch the $186-million world-wide total o its predecessor andmerit another entry in 2013.

We dont have a script in development yet, Brener said, butwere always tossing around coolideas or a death.

LOS ANGELES Veteranmovie producer Jordan Kerner

spent nearly 10 years nding away to make Te Smur s, whichearned $35.6 million in its open-ing weekend in the U.S. But itsnot his long track record in Hol-lywood, which includes producingeverything rom Less Tan Zeroto Te Mighty Ducks, that in-terests me most. Its his other job:dean o the school o lmmakingat the University o North CarolinaSchool o the Arts.

I went to lm school mysel atNorthwest University, back whenwe still shot with 16-millimetercameras, lugged around Nagrasound recorders and edited ootageon ancient Moviolas. Wed occa-sionally be treated to lectures rom visiting lmmakers, whod regale uswith tall tales about their exploits.

But i you wanted any real-li e ex-perience, you had to move to L.A.and nd a job. Tanks to Kernersinnovative ideas, undergrads at

UNCSA are getting an educationnot just in theory and productionbut in the o en less-than-glamor-ous aspects o li e in the trencheso Hollywood.

Kerner has recruited a host o aculty members who still havetheir day jobs, which helps givestudents a grounding in the kindo problem-solving necessary tosurvive on a lm set. Trough ashadowing program, students getto spend weeks at a time on moviesets, seeing their pro essor in ac-tion. Nearly 80 students spent timeon Smur s.

We set it up as part o our in-ternship program, but not just toget co ee, but to see how moviesare really made, he said the otherday, sitting in his o ce on the Sony lot. Every two weeks, a new groupo students would establish resi-dency on the lm, listening to bud-get discussions he would have withthe studio or sitting in on script

revision meetings among Kerner,the screenwriters and director RajaGosnell.

During the shoot, i Raja went

up to talk to an actor, our kidswould be right there with him.Tey also got to spend time withour editors, visual e ects super- visor, sound designers and other

crew members. Sometimes thediscussions were di cult, but thatwas the whole point its a way to learn the whys and why nots o

lmmaking. (With it being 2011,students had to sign release ormspromising not to blog about whatthey saw.)

From the point o view o An-drew Porter, a 2010 graduate o the schools screenwriting pro-gram, the shadowing experienceon Smur s was an eye-opener.It was pretty amazing to watchthe dra s o all the scripts comethrough, and see what stayed andwhat was replaced, he said.

om Ackerman, a veteran direc-tor o photography on such lms asAnchorman and Balls o Fury,has been teaching cinematography

at UNCSA or three years. Hes alsoa big believer in the shadowingprocess, having brought a fock o students to spend time with him on

Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip-Wrecked, which will hit theatersthis Christmas. He also has his stu-dents listen in on his conversationswith his agent so they can develop

an understanding o the demandso the marketplace.Kerner never imagined him-

sel being a lm school dean inact, he never went to lm school

himsel . But a er surviving a reak staph in ection and enduring thedisappointing showing o a petproject, 2006s Charlottes Web,Kerner was looking or a new chal-lenge. He became dean in 2007,agreeing to split his time betweenLos Angeles and Winston-Salem,where his wi e and three daughtersnow live.

UNCSA, a state school with 270lm students and tuition ar below

institutions like USC or AFI, hasits share o prominent young al-ums, notably director David Gor-don Green (Pineapple Express),

writer-director Jody Hill (Observeand Report) and screenwriterravis Beacham (Clash o the i-

tans), who o en return to share

their experiences. But Kerner eltthe school needed more outsidepro essionals on the aculty, so herecruited a host o industry pros,including producer Bob Gosse and

Peter Bogdanovich, who teaches areshman lm class.My biggest concern with todays

lm schools is that they tend to o -er students ar more instruction in

technique than in actual ideas.But the student lms I watched

rom UNCSA were loaded withstrong ideas, wit and imagination which may come as a bit o asurprise, given that the dean is theguy producing commercial are likeTe Smur s. Kerner, though, seeshis work as dean as contributing toenhancing the business more thanany one movie he might make.

When I arrived, we had way too many student lms that were

ull o close-ups o smoking guns,employing the imagery o videogames, Kerner says. Filmmak-

ing isnt just about coolness andpose you need bigger subjectsto tell.

So Kerner started an American

Immersion project, where studentsgain a deeper understanding o character and story by spendingseveral weeks at places like theVeterans Arti cial Limb Hospital

in Philadelphia and Habitat orHumanity in New Orleans.Tey cant take cameras or re-

cording devices just a pad andpen, he says. Te whole idea isto go out and get to know people,hear their stories and get undertheir sk in.

As much as Kerner would enjoy seeing his students make lo y art,he is enough o a realist to realizethat they also need what it takes toactually land a job. Since much o the job market today is geared to-ward the Web, animation and Vcommercials, Kerner is a propo-nent o short- orm storytelling.

Our kids are going to have tothink clearly in short bursts, be-cause thats where the action is,he says. But we want them to have

their own voice, because having aunique voice is what sets you apartrom everyone else.

Last Harry Potter scene grows up before saying goodbyCOMMENTARY

LOS ANGELES No otherscene in the eight Harry Potter

lms created more angst or lm-makers than the epilogue o the

nal movie, Harry Potter and theDeathly Hallows Part 2, a moviethat last week crossed the $1 billionmark in the worldwide box o ce.

Tere were no chained drag-ons, hairy hippogri s or cracklingmagic energies in the sequence its a ew minutes o quiet dialoguebetween parents and their childrenin a train station but the anxiety o it all was so smothering that the

ranchises star, Daniel Radcli e, atone point wanted to sit out o thescene.

I think they should do it with

older actors and just leave us out o the scene, Radcli e said two yearsago during a quiet moment on thestone-foored movie set where hehas spent hal o his working li eand hal o his li e working. I thats whats going to look best,thats what we should do. Its tooimportant that the ending is doneright.

(By the way, this is an article youshouldnt read i you havent seenthe lm and want to remain in thedark as you walk into theaters.)

Te sticky issue or Radcli e, di-rector David Yates and the rest o the Potter team was the act thatthe epilogue takes place 19 yearsa er the storys climax at the smol-dering Hogwarts School o Witch-cra and Wizardry. In it, Harry andhis now-adult riends, Hermione

and Ron, are sending o their ownchildren to study at Hogwarts.Te plan was to age up Radcli e,Emma Watson, Rupert Grint andother young stars o the WarnerBros. ranchise so they could con- vincingly play their elder selves.

On the set in 2009, Radcli ewas leery o the plan to wear rub-ber xtures on his jaw and a alsehairline to age to 37. I worry it willbe a distraction, Radcli e said. Idont want people staring at our

aces and getting distracted romthat moment.

For Radcli e, the answer was tond adult actors to play the older

roles. It would be di cult or any moment in any lm to bear allthe weight coming down on theDeathly Hallows epilogue.

For all the billions o dollars the

movies and books have piled up, thelmmakers also had to account or

the emotional connection o , say, a20-year-old moviegoer who had lit-erally grown up with this vivid taleo loyalty, courage and loss.

Potter producer David Hey-man was thinking o that when hetold Radcli e that there was no way that three strangers could deliverthe nal lines o the three maincharacters right be ore the nal

ade to black.A er all we have been through

with these characters, the way thata generation has grown up withthem, they need to be the ones onscreen when its time to bring it toa close, said Heyman, who was akey decision-maker when Radcli eand his costars were cast in theirroles back in 2000. Teres an ex-

pectation even i it is not articu-lated that they need to be on thescreen when its coming to an end.

Te scene was nally lmed lastMay. A ew weeks later, Radcli ewas happy to say the challengehad been met. Te relie in his voice was clear even in the trans-Atlantic phone call rom London.I think we gured it out, he said.We did it with prosthetics, in theend, and Im sure there will be l ittlebits o visual e ects or retouchingon those moments when we do aclose-up. ... Its also a challenge tomake someone who is 19 or 20 an age where their ace is stillchanging and make them a ully grown adult. I think they looked

antastic, though, and, i I do say so, particularly mine.

Not everyone agreed.

Some images o the made-uptrio leaked to the Web, and some

ans thought Radcli es visage hadgone too ar into Old Man Potterterritory. Rupert (Grint, who playsRon) looked like he was about 75years old. With the triple chin andthe belly, he looked like he had re-ally lived as a lush, Heyman said.We knew we needed to rework themakeup.

So, in December, long a er themovie had wrapped, Yates and theproducers summoned their youngstars back to Leavesden Studios ora second, salvaging e ort.

Te epilogue was reshot, anddirector Yates said it was the rightthing to do despite the expense,inconvenience and murmurs o negativity in the press.
