Opinion: 2016 Cowboys are built for Omaha N at h a n Ruiz Seni o r S p o rt s Rep o rt er

It seems success comes when you least expect it. That might just be the case for the Oklahoma State baseball team, which sits two victories from the College World Series after cruising through the Clemson Regional. Of course, those two wins won’t come easily for the Cowboys. They’ll travel about two hours east to Columbia, South Carolina, to face the Gamecocks in the Super Regionals. The winner of the best-of-three series, which begins Saturday, advances to Omaha, Nebraska. Throughout the ups and
downs of their season, the Cowboys and coach Josh Holliday preached they weren’t quite who they wanted to be. The bats weren’t there. The arms weren’t quite right. A glove or two could use some work. Still, they knew if they could piece it together, they were capable of greatness. “When we’re playing good ball,” center fielder Ryan Sluder said last month, “there’s nobody that can beat us.” A widely regarded top10 team heading into the season, OSU sputtered to begin the year. The Cowboys started 2-5, losing four straight games via walk-off, including all three losses in a sweep against North Carolina. After the UNC sweep, the Cowboys seemed overrated. The bullpen flopped. The lineup slumped. But they were only taking some time to settle in. An early season pitching change, moving Tyler Buffett to the back end of
the bullpen and sliding Trey Cobb from closer to starter, seemed to streamline the staff. OSU won 16 of its next 18 games, including beginning Big 12 play with a sweep of Kansas State. The lineup’s struggles continued as one of its biggest bats, Conor Costello, missed 19 games with a broken hamate hook in his left wrist. Those weaknesses became apparent as the Cowboys lost six of their next seven, averaging 3.3 runs per game and losing series to conference opponents West Virginia and Texas Tech, the latter of which swept the Cowboys at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium. “I still think we haven’t played our best baseball, and we just need to continue to improve and get better each day,” OSU shortstop Donnie Walton said after the sweep. “The adversity we’re going through now at the beginning is going to help us at the end.”
They again seemed to rest of the lineup was find their stride, going sparks. Another pitch12-2 heading into their ing switch of Buffett and Bedlam series, but the Cobb seemed to lock Sooners won two of three them both in. games to take the series.

same dominant bullpen the 2014 team had, or the same unhittable starter the 2015 team had. But it has the senior version of Walton, who will go down as an OSU great. It has J.R. Davis, the second baseman whose faith led him to the top of the Cowboys’ lineup. It has Garrett Benge, the junior college star who dreamed of being a Cowboy. It has Hassel, who blossomed into a key character for OSU after his Stillwater High School career. It has Hatch, who became the Big 12’s best pitcher after missing 15 months. It has a finally healthy Costello, whose presence alone makes the OSU lineup infinitely more dangerous. Put those pieces together at the right time, as the Cowboys have done, and OSU is built for Omaha. All that’s left is two more victories in the Palmetto State.

AT THE MOVIES: ON THE SET OF A LOCAL PICTURE How a Hollywood production company and locals came together to make “Stillwater”
Jordan Bishop Sta ff Rep o rt e r @JORDANBISHOP35
A dark house on a lonely street in Stillwater suddenly was transformed by the hubbub of film crews running around and extras waiting for their chance at the tiniest shot of fame, all illuminated by the ever-present prop lights. The past couple of weeks, the crime drama “Stillwater” was being filmed around town, from places like the set house and Stonewall to even the Stillwater Police Department. For a little while, Stillwater had been a Tinseltown of sorts. The last time Stillwater had any type of brush with Hollywood was 25 years earlier with the Christopher Walken picture, “All-American Murder,” so for many locals this was their first experience with a production crew. The plot for the film, which was announced to be a Lifetime movie without a set release date, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 2016
focuses on the story of a rookie cop in a small town who is thrown into a firestorm of crime and deception as she hunts down a killer trying to murder her fellow officer. Produced by Slightly Distorted Productions, based in Los Angeles, the movie was director James Cullen Bressack’s 13th outing. Bressack had mostly directed horror films before “Stillwater.” The movie was cowritten by Zach Ward, also known as the bully with the coonskin cap, Scut Farkus, in the holiday classic, “A Christmas Story.” Calls for extras went out a few days before principal photography began. The movie had quite the turnout of people ranging from OSU students and citizens trying to get just a face into the final cut of the film to “professional extras” who were aspiring actors looking to build connections within the industry. One Friday night, the film crew was trying to wrap up its scenes within the house and shot from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. so they could move on to other locations. With the house being the primary location in the film’s plot, the crew had been there for five days, trying to perfect every scene. Craig Kiriokos, the film’s production manager, said it was amazing they got to film in the primary

Extras for the movie “Stillwater” wait to be called to action during an all-night shoot.
location first because it made the rest of the film schedule go smoother. “It’s always nice when you can start your shoot at one location for a few days or a week and we were lucky enough to get a week here,” Kiriokos said. “… it’s basically been able to fill every part of the scenes that we needed to shoot so it’s perfect.” Kiriokos said when working in a low-budget production like “Stillwater,” the time is against the crew. While blockbusters get four to six months of principal photography, he gets two to three weeks. So like on this Friday night, when the crew didn’t finish all of its scenes the night
before, Kiriokos has to make sure everything runs smoothly outside until the scenes inside are done. Kiriokos and the crew outside are connected to the set by headsets. Each time the director begins refilming the scene, the outside crowd of about 30 extras and the crew members who aren’t needed for this scene go quiet. The calls of “pictures up” and “rolling” are the almighty words that everyone must abide by. Another indicator of when to be quiet is the red glow of floodlights meant to imitate police lights that fills the air as production assistants move the lights back and forth to shine through the windows of the house.

At the beginning of the night, many extras say it’s a cool feeling. After all, they’re on a movie set, but the magic of movies fades away into monotony and boredom after a bit. The extras were told to come by at 9 p.m. but the hours continue to fade by and approach midnight. Some extras start to leave disenchanted, but most stay, yearning for their one chance. Roger Fry, one such extra, has come to play the role of a reporter. He said the reason he came by was because him and his wife thought it would be cool to experience a movie set. Although Fry acknowledged the milling about was quite tedious, he didn’t mind.
“It’s kind of like the military, being told to hurry up and wait,” Fry said. Fry, like many if the extras heard about the casting call from a friend or read about it and because it’s a rare occurrence in Stillwater, Fry said he thought why not? Even some of the crew said they get bored between takes such as props master and OSU grad Brittany Lee. She doesn’t get much downtime between designing and bringing all the props onto the set but she said waiting is probably the worst part, but it is all worth it for the experience she’s getting, especially right out of college. “The worst part is the downtime and waiting while a scene is being filmed,” Lee said. “Because you’re just waiting to set up the next scene. But the best part has been learning constantly from the rest of the crew and my own experiences.” While the extras are waiting, the action still goes on inside the house as the crew tries to frantically meet deadline. Costume designer Alyssa Cawthon said she’s had about a week to work on the film’s wardrobe and when she’s used to three weeks of prep, it’s been a hectic week for her. Cawthon agreed with

Lee that while there are chaotic moments like trying to get the actors changed and screen-ready in 15 minutes between scenes sometimes to just watching during the actual filming because like the extras, everyone from the costume designer and props master to the extras stop everything when the word “rolling” is uttered. “It’s pretty chaotic right at first,” Cawthon said. “They’re demanding for the actors and I’m trying to get them dressed. There’s really chaotic moments but there’s also highs and lows, peaks and valleys because then we just watch the monitor and make sure that they look good.” Other people waiting around for action is a group of three guys hanging out in the back yard who are Keven Macafee, a digital image technician; Troy Scott, special effects extraordinaire and Chris McDaniel, the on-set paramedic. Unlike others, the trio are enjoying the downtime. Scott had one of his biggest scenes the day before involving making blood shoot out of some fingernails, so he’s relaxing this Friday night. McDaniel is happy because no news is good news in his profession and Macafee said he has the easiest job of all. Originally an assistant editor on such productions as NFL Films, Macafee said once he got into the movie industry, he didn’t feel as passionate for editing longer productions instead of the shorter ones he was used to. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 2016
He decided to be the DIT, which Macafee said sounds harder than it is. “There’s nothing to it,” Macafee said. “Normally you would just sit there until you get a film card, put it into a reader, basically a cartridge and dump it onto backup and that’s all automated. … I would say what you could take away from my position is that there’s a million positions on set and you come from a million different backgrounds.” Scott, a special effects vet for 30 years, said he’s in charge of anything that bleeds and said he got into the film industry because it was a hobby as a kid and then an interest and ultimately one project led to another. McDaniel said he’s only at the set as a precaution. He’s worked everything from concerts like Calf Fry to this movie set, which he calls a low-key event. “Things very rarely go wrong,” McDaniel said. “Usually it’s incidental things like a mosquito bite to an allergic reaction or someone has a headache. Very rarely do I have to do my job which is nice.” Finally, around 1 a.m. the director comes back and the 20-odd extras who are left including Fry and his group of reporters and a group of fake police officers, wearing authentic uniforms loaned to the set by the Stillwater Police Department, are called into action. Their scene is less than a minute long, as they’re told to heckle the main actress as she’s escorted to a police car by a real SPD officer.
Jordan Bishop/O’COLLY The front of the house the film crew used as the primary location for many of their scenes. The outside spotlights were the only lights used for the scenes on the first floor.
The wait is over and all the extras can hope for is that their one minute of exposure makes the final cut and hopefully someday they can see it. Such is the work of film. It seems magical, but like any other job it has its tedious moments, but for instances like when Fry gets to do something he’s never thought possible, it all seems worth it in the end. The cast and crew will continue on long after the extras leave, but for Kiriokos he said he wouldn’t want to do anything else or
else he said he would have never got a chance to film in a location he called as perfect as Stillwater. “At the end of the day, I was a retail manager for seven and a half years and I would put in eight to 10 hour days working in retail and would go home exhausted and miserable,” Kiriokos said. “Here I put in 12, 15, 16 hour days and still be happier than I ever was and while it’s different, it’s a great life.”
It’s pretty chaotic right at first. They’re demanding for the actors and I’m trying to get them dressed. There’s really chaotic moments but there’s also highs and lows, peaks and valleys.” Alyssa Cawthon Costume Designer

favor of costumes a la the 1990 film. It would look cheap as heck, sure, but I would rather be charmed by the goofiness of it all than be scared of their current design. Ultimately, the turtles’ designs aren’t even their biggest problems, as I don’t feel as if the characters themselves are handled properly, either. Depending on who’s writing for the character, Michelangelo’s bumbling demeanor can fall under either
charming or obnoxious. It’s definitely the latter this time around, but his stronger presence only exacerbates the issue. Michelangelo can work well in small doses, but here, it feels as if he has far more dialogue than any of his brothers. The movie occasionally tries to convince its audience that it’s about the group dynamic, but little of it feels earned. This property was never meant to be Shakespeare, but at its best, it captured
OCOLLY.COM
a sense of solidarity among the four turtles. With this film, we see the beginnings of a subplot that causes friction within the group. However, it ultimately feels like an afterthought and, again, the payoff isn’t earned. Meanwhile, their human allies are about as generic as they get. Megan Fox’s portrayal of reporter April O’Neil remains just as wooden, while Stephen Amell fails to capture Casey Jones’ roguish persona. Similarly, the villains are disappointments across the board. Shredder does virtually nothing that fans of the character would like to see him do, as he spends most of his screen time either spouting exposition or searching for a MacGuffin. His initial meeting with Krang is bafflingly abrupt, too. He forms an alliance with this stranger so quickly that it’s no wonder that things pan out the way that they do toward the end of the film. Speaking of which, Krang shows up in only two
or three scenes throughout the film. His motivations are about as threadbare as they come, and his novelty as a classic “Turtles” villain wears off quickly. Nearly every scene that features henchmen Bebop and Rocksteady takes the movie from justanother-bad-film to man-I’m-embarrassed-just-sittingin-this-theatre. Their sense of humor speaks to one of the film’s fundamental problems. Similarly to the “Transformers” movies, this one has an identity crisis in that some of the jokes are too childish for adults to enjoy, while others are too risqué for kids. Who’s this movie ultimately aimed at? “Out of the Shadows” banks too much on nostalgia alone. If you want to re-experience a bunch of elements from your childhood, trust me: you’ll have a much better time dusting off your Super Nintendo and playing “Turtles in Time.” entertainment@ocolly.com
