Fairfield Cribz

In the four years that I spent at Fairfield University, I never saw a student-produced television show that left me in awe.

Fairfield Cribz, a localized imitation of MTV's Cribs, changed all of that. To even call it an "imitation," would be degrading the true value of the production.

The exaggerated camera panning and zooming techniques are identical to the style used on the MTV version. Even the wide selection of pop-music clips that seem to "pop" up every 10 seconds, nailed the bullseye.

It was a wise decision, on the part of the producers, in choosing a bunch of bubbly, laid-back girls, who, legitimately, have a sweet house and a good sense of humor (e.g. the bed where "magic" happens). Doing so added an extra dimension to the episode, which also served to further engage the viewers' captivation.

The only sub-par element was the show's own logo. I seriously think I could make something better than that in Microsoft Paint. But as you can see, I had to stretch just to find a critique!

Student or not, the clip is definitely worth eight minutes of anyone's time.
