High school is, to put it gently, a little odd. For four years, gross, sweaty teenagers are clumped together and are expected to learn, socialize, get involved in activities, mature and figure out their life plan. With so much to do, most fail to do at least one of these things. There is so much foolishness that goes on that holding a shred of sanity along with a diploma at the end of it all deems an individual lucky. Sometimes, there just needs to be a way to vent. Enter Senior Year Series.
The newly created web series, www.SeniorYearSeries.com. was in initially the festering love brain child of Conrad Vanlandingham and Sean Murphy, and has thus expanded to involve everyone in the communications senior class. Along with the actual episodic series, it has also become their website to post films they have entered in competitions. The site is still in its infancy, with plenty of growing to do, and it feeds off the views of others like the plant feeds off blood in Little Shop of Horrors. Having the site up and running for roughly three months, it garners approximately 200 views weekly – a fair amount, but certainly one that could improve.
Each episode is somewhere between four to seven minutes long, and is an episodic look at two best friends, played by Clay Tucker and Sean Murphy, enduring their senior year. To describe the two main characters bluntly, they are awful people.
The team in charge of Senior Year Series relies on the boredom of similar adolescents, the sort of people capable of seeing things, for improvement. So the next time a boring situation arises, fill that awkward void of silence with this simple statement, “Watch Senior Year Series. At SeniorYearSeries.com.” Problem solved. Be entertained or suddenly socially outcast. Either way, faithful viewer, you’re welcome.
