Rock and Roll ‘Em Heineken Funds SCA Music Videos
For the second consecutive year, Heineken has awarded two teams of SCA graduate students $40,000 each to create music videos. By providing the opportunity to work with sizable budgets and professional clients, the contest opens students’ eyes to a possible post-graduation career path.
Prepping a scene for the deSoL Sing It All Night music video shoot.
“A lot of the students don’t really know exactly what they want to do when they enter the program,” said senior lecturer Brenda Goodman, who serves as USC’s point person for the contest, along with adjunct faculty member Jeffrey Obrow. “They know that they have a love of media, film, and communicating ideas through moving pictures, but what kind of storytelling they’re going to do is one of the things that we work with them on during their time at USC. I know for the teams last year that the contest opened up the world of music videos to them in a way that they really hadn’t thought about before.”
The two teams were selected from more than 90 students who met with this year’s bands, deSoL and Lifehouse, and submitted treatments, storyboards, rough budgets, reels, and bios. The bands, Goodman, Obrow, Heineken’s Marketing Manager Pattie Falch, and Julie Mulholland from Heineken’s entertainment marketing agency, Mulholland Drive Entertainment, selected the winners.
Director Michael Callahan and producer Anthony Bushman, both second-year production students, teamed up to create the video for Lifehouse’s song Make Me Over. Set in a cluttered warehouse, the narrative follows a one-armed, legless mannequin who comes to life, replaces his missing appendages, and tries to win the love of a lady in a red dress. Unfortunately, unlike him, she is completely inanimate.
“We had a great conversation with Jason Wade, the lead singer and songwriter, about the message of the song,” said Bushman. “We took it to mean that someone is trying to make himself over, make himself better for someone else, but not seeing that he doesn’t need to change because he’s great as he is. And Mike and I both think that it’s a very important message, because he and I were the outcasts in grade school and didn’t have that many friends, and we both turned out pretty well. And we didn’t try to fit into what was most socially acceptable at the time.”
For deSoL’s song Sing It All Night, director Brent McHenry, a second-year production student, and the producing team of third-year production student Philip Hodges and second-year Stark student Nadia Munla crafted a video featuring the band’s lead singer, Albie Monterrosa, mailing a postcard from a gas station in the desert to his sweetheart in New York. On the front of the postcard is a superimposed moving image of the band performing on a beach, and, as the missive filters through the mail system, the music affects the people who hear it.
“Their music is a fusion of Latino rhythms with more contemporary rock,” said McHenry. “That fusion ties into this theme that they pride themselves on, which is their music’s ability to unite a diverse group of people and to appeal to a wide variety of different music lovers. So this idea of unity is what inspired this postcard that can connect people across a wide distance.”

Working with established bands made the students’ own transition into professional life seem like a more imminent reality. “Tony Bushman, the producer from the Lifehouse video, called me last week,” said McHenry. “He said, ‘Man, I’m on a break from the editing lab, and I’m getting dinner right now at Panda Express, and I’m pretty sure that your song, deSoL, is playing on the radio.’ And as he says that, I hear Albie in the background on the speakers. That was pretty cool.”
The music videos, which are scheduled to be completed by mid-November, will premiere at a gala event on December 5 at the Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills.
They will also be posted on Heineken’s Web site at heinekenandfilm.com.
Hey everyone, there hasn’t been a lot going on with the guys lately, so there’s not too much for me to post. I did add all of the Interact Submissions today. There were like 40 of them, lol. It took me a while, but I’m glad I got them done. There should be a new interact game online soon. Any ideas?

Hey everyone! Ahh, I know this week was more than long for me — maybe you guys missed the site too? I hope you guys can enjoy the site more thoroughly now. There are a ton of things I’ve fixed on the site, but I’ll keep the details small because it;s mostly me cleaning up. Lol. There are new photos, videos, a new poll, forum contest finalists for you to vote on, and a new layout! I hope you guys like everything. I’ll attempt to list all the new stuff.
“Broken” has been #14 on VH1’s Top 20 Countdown for 3 consecutive weeks now, so I say let’s get it back in the Top 10 where it belongs. Click here to help out!
Please take a look at all of the forum contest entry photos below. Then, vote in the poll to decide the winner. Voting ends next Sunday, November 16th! I’ve chosen 10 that I think are the best and the most creative. Each entry was awesome, and I plan to set up an archive on the site for all of them soon. There’s a new forum picture contest I just started as well. Check it out here!
The most important thing regarding contest is that our big contest’s (the one with prizes located here) date has been extended once again! I just don’t have enough submissions to fairly have a contest. The new and final date is January 1, 2009. Please get a submission in if you haven’t done so already! I’m going to advertise the contest much more now, so hopefully that will help too! Tell your friends!
