Elmo goes to the NIU campus to explore what life is like in the college dorms. This video is for the housing and dining contest 2009!

This is my video that I made for the NIU dorms contest. It talks all about why I am going to move into the NIU dorms and why other people should to. It includes great experiences that you'll pick up by living at the dorms and why NIU dorms is the best atmosphere for your college career. It highlights three main reasons why anyone looking to attend NIU should stay at the dorms and those reasons are as follows: 1. Friends 2. Food 3. The Best Place for a Good Start (to your college career)\ In the video, I interviewed a few residences and someone interviewed me as well and we all talked about our experiences in and out of the NIU dorms. Since I don't live in the dorms yet, I added a new perspective to going to college but not experiencing the same thing as students who are living on campus do. Each person expresses the fun and joy they've had living at the NIU dorms. I, Suzanne Vanderwiel, made the video myself. My friends helped and it made the video editing and producing much easier, but only I am entering the contest. Editor: Suzanne Vanderwiel Interviewers: Meg Antkowiak and Suzanne Vanderwiel Interviewees: Meg Antkowiak, Brian Kita, Ryan Uchima, Suzanne Vanderwiel, Alex Wohead, Sarah K. (OOPS I FORGOT TO EDIT YOUR NAME INTO THE VID SOO SORRY GIRL!!!!!) Music (Background) by: Suzanne Vanderwiel Music: "Hello There" by: Cheap Trick Rock Band 2 is owned by Harmonix!

Eric Melin from Scene-Stealers.com and guest host Billy Brimblecom, drummer extraordinaire, review the new 3D stop-motion animation film "Coraline" and talk about its relation to Tim Burton and "The Nightmare Before Christmas." All the ads seem to suggest Tim Burton without actually saying his name, so that is addressed-- along with the spookiness of a kids' fantasy written by Neil Gaiman (of "Sandman" comics fame) and the idea of 3D accentuating the movie without being too gimmicky. Also, don't forget to enter our Oscar Pick 'em Contest for 2009. Enjoy this on-camera review from Scene-Stealers.com!
