Lancer Productions continues to roll out the exciting nights with the Lankford Chill that took place on Friday, Sept. 6. The event began at 6 p.m. and ran until midnight.
Throughout the night students were able to come in and play video games on different gaming systems including ones such as PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii. Through the effective use of green screen technology, the students were also able to put themselves into different music videos. They were given access to a wide variety of costumes and props provided by Lancer Productions as well.
“I felt the event went well and the people who came out seemed to have a great time,” said Director of Late Night Programming,Jeffrey Reason. “I’m glad we could provide an alternative to going out and partying or just sitting in their rooms. I feel as long as we were able to enhance someone’s Friday night, then it’s all worth it.” Reason ran the event and prepared for it, while Katie Vaughn and James Bardin assisted with it and were present for it as well.
According to Reason, the most popular videos shown were that of Michael Jackson.
The room was set up so that projection screens were displayed against the walls of the Student Union upstairs in the ballroom. These played the video games while the music video center was set up towards the back of the room.
Students spend Friday night playing action-packed video games in the Student Union.
