Week 2: Happy Holidays
I remember posting this video right before Christmas break our freshman year.  We had a few days of good flurries and this one evening of heavy snow.  It’s sort of an understood tradition at Virginia Tech that at the first snow, all the freshman in the dorms on campus head down to the drillfield to battle the Corp of Cadets in a massive snowball fight.  The Corp of Cadets try to do their best real American warrior bit, but in the end the sheer number of freshman pouring out of the dorms is enough to eliminate any chance of CoC success.  There are some shots of this snowball fight, but they don’t really do it justice.  I also remember someone taking off the door to someone’s mini-fridge, and using that as a sled down the steps on campus.  Funny how innovative we can be with stuff like that.  Watching this now, I realize how unimpressive our infatuation with bush diving really was, but it was something crazy and fun to us regardless.  I think I enjoy movies we made like this one, because we basically just ran around with a camera filming a fun evening together.  The stuff may look rather pointless and silly, but we weren’t aiming for Hollywood stuntman appeal or even Jackass type material.  Just a few friends documenting their carefree collegiate times, and loving every minute of it. :)
