Winter term of Duck TV closed with a successful season finale on Wednesday, March 14th. The PR team decorated Fenton 110 with streamers, balloons, and, and lights (might I mention this was all done without tape) that dazzled the audience.

A main attraction at the screening was the food. Viewers enjoyed pizza and appreciated Virginia’s artistically decorated cupcakes.

The room was packed with energy, and each show received rounds of applause and laughter. Battle Trains astounded the audience with graphic yet edgy effects and professionally recorded opera-like soundtrack, while other shows offered viewers unexpected twists.

Awards were presented following the screening. The Ten Second Show won the audience award, almost tied with Battle Trains. The three producers of the Ten Second Show, Frank Krainock, Alex MacLeod, and Halden Hoodenpyl, were pleased with the results, but also with the progress of all of the shows on Duck TV this past term.

“I think it’s pretty clear that everyone has improved exponentially,” said Frank. “It looked more and more professional. I don’t think anyone was left behind.”

“It’s like a little mini film festival that you contributed to,” Halden commented. “We felt more like everyone was a group [at the screening].” During the middle of the term, not everyone attends the screenings and it is hard to push each other to improve.

At the finale, they felt united again, everyone enjoying each show together. “It’s kind of like a comraderie,” the decided. “You learn a lot from everyone.”

“I had this feeling…when we submitted the last episode of just being really happy and thankful for the 25 plus people that have actually made this whole thing possible for us.” said Alex.

The finale left members of Duck TV excited for next term. Thirteen shows have been announced, and auditions for editors, camera operators, actors, news and sports anchors, and more are taking place Thursday and Friday of Week 1 of Spring term.
