About MiLife Carolina '04

Welcome!

The Tar Heel Mac Users Group at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is proud to present its inaugural MiLife Carolina Media Festival, which aims to celebrate college life through all of the Apple iLife applications; iMovie, iDVD, iPhoto, iTunes and Garage Band. The MiLife Carolina Media Festival is a presentation of original motion picture, musical and graphical presentations that represent the creative college mind.

Various universities across the nation have undertaken their own iMovieFests where college students compose works mainly using Apple's iMovie application. Among the most notable institutions are Emory University, Boston College and Georgia Institute of Technology. The Tar Heel MUG at UNC-CH is taking this idea to a whole new level in 2004 by incorporating all of the iLife applications in a diverse festival.

MiLife Carolina is a new form of campus event like none other in that it is all inclusive to any student of the university. Its goal is similar to other events in that it puts the inspiration where it should be - in the hands of the students. Like Emory's original Campus iMovieFest, the MiLife Festival endeavors to promote school spirit through teaching, inspiring and uniting the entire university population.

The Concept

Students are encouraged to undertake different digital life projects using the entire iLife suite of applications, the main theme being “Student life at UNC Chapel Hill." These projects can involve sports, student organizations, life as a freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, etc. Be creative in diverse ways!

Participants can use their own equipment and computers, but they can also use campus labs (UL, School of Ed). (see Resources)
