Will Anderson '13, David Gwynn '13 and Matt Carter '14 did a guest spot May 29.
Anderson, Gwynn and Carter, cinema students in the School of Communications, shot their video in and around Fonville Fountain outside of Alamance with fellow 2013 graduates Lucie Miller, Sarah Davenport, Alexis Deprey and Patrick Cunningham. Gwynn said the idea for the video came from Davenport, who said the closeness of this Elon-based tight-knit group of friends was similar to that of the characters on “Friends.”
But how did the students get access to the famous fountain for their two-night shoot?
“We had to weigh whether to go behind the university’s back and do it or ask permission,” Gwynn said. “(Vice President and Dean of Student Life Smith Jackson) let us do it.”
