Cartoon Network on Location at Oglethorpe…and Looking for Extras

Did you know? The character Oglethorpe from Cartoon Network's Aqua Teen Hunger Force was named after Oglethorpe University. His fellow Plutonian, Emory, was named after our neighbor Atlanta university.

This Wednesday, September 1, the Cartoon Network will be on the Oglethorpe campus filming a music video intro for Tower Prep, a new live action show coming to the Cartoon Network in October.

A band will perform the show’s intro song on stage in the midst of small pyrotechnics and a crowd of “fans.” OU students, this could be you!

For this exciting shoot, extras are needed to make up the “crowd.” All are welcome, but you must be 18 or older. Guys need to wear khaki or grey cargo pants, if you have them, and girls should wear a school uniform-like pleated skirt, if possible. If not, wear jeans. 

Set-up will begins in the late afternoon and cameras will roll from 9 p.m. until approximately 1 a.m.  If you’re interested in being an extra in the video, gather on the lawn by Lupton Hall, in front of the keyhole turnaround at 8 p.m. The video shoot will take place in front of the Library on the Quad.
