Some were: cast and sixteen were crew- members for the John Jack- man directed film Wesley. Based on the life of the co- founder of the Methodist church, the film was a per- fect way for students to gain experience. J think that this experi- ence ties into a lot of what we learned in all of our classes... 1 would rate it an A+ experience, said Tom- my Flagerty, who was a grip and an extra for the film. I would recommend this type of internship to anybody _ who wanted to major in film production. Aaron Putnam, a_ best boy grip and extra, added, On this job, I learned the necessary skills to survive on a film set... I learned things that could only be learned through experience, and not in a class. The film has not only sparked buzz among film majors, but also with film- loving students. The film is inspired by the life of one man, John Wesley, who evolves from an Anglican priest to a reformist for the growing Methodist church. Wesley is set to premiere at the Fine and Performing Axts Center in high defini- tion. Arledge Armenaki was director of photography for Whe film. He took some time | from his schedule to explain the importance of the Wes- ley project and his job pro- cess. : My main roll is to cre- _ ate. the visual image that embodies the directors vi- sion... It is a multi-step process, said Armenaki.

When you are shooting a scene, all the voiced and scripted ideas have to be captured. What was your initial re- action that made you want to sign onto this project? When asked what enticed him to take on the project, Armenaki replied, I was very interested in filming a feature length histori- cal film. It was going to be a huge challenge. We had many major challenges, for instance we had to build a ship, Armenaki explained. Since the film was made on a tight budget, it allowed. the student interns to fill shoes that they would have never been able to try on a big budget fill.
