WOW!!!! This video was incredible!!!! I've wanted to go to BIOLA for a LOOOONNNNGGGG time to major in film and this is my deciding factor!!!!! Great job!!!!!!
This is a very well made video, but i believe the core of what Biola is about it missing. Biola was founded on Christian beliefs and stands firm on the laws and morals of Christ, which the world will never take away. Biola Rocks because Jesus is the center of education. GO JESUS CHRIST!
President corey rocks and more lol :). This video does an pretty good job in showing what biola is like but... it's so much better than anything a video can explain. If anyone sees this and wonders if he/she should come... don't think twice. Just come :D.
Yeah, I thought you would have won, still it is very unprofessional not to notify all the people in the contest. well, have fun, where are you guys going after all?
I watched our video first and thought it was pretty good and then watched a bunch of other ones in the contest and realized that ours is frickin good!
Biola and it's students and families have strong Christian values and high standards both academically and moraly. I praise God my son graduated from this school last year. It was like going to Mr. Roger's neighborhood when I visted. The love is real because it is from up above.
Hey, it is cool to be all spirited for Biola and such. But the whole APU is crap thing is a little lame. Show the love, we as a school are better than that.
I have to say, parts were good but scooters and throwing footballs to ourselves is not a accurate representation of biola. there a freshmen thing overall and I think we can be known for better stuff. but aside from that it was pretty good.
Unless you're a member of an independent, fundamental, soul-winning, separated, King James bible preaching, hellfire and damnation Baptist church, you can't call yourself a Christian.
This is a terrific video people and I am very proud of you and BIOLA University. My daughter is a senior at BIOLA and her experience with this university has been fantastic. Christ is the center of this educational facility so let's keep it that way. If you feel adversely about another university, lift it up in prayer. Competition is a healthy thing through Christ but never say or post anything you may have to explain to your Redeemer later on. God bless you all on this awesome competition!
This is Logan Lisle, Darren's little brother. I looked up things on APU.. and it sucks! ahha Biola looks so much better. I'm going to go there!! WHOOH WHOOH!!!
The whole APU Biola rivalry is perfectly fine. That is until people such as yourself attack the other school's spirituality. Have you set foot on APU's campus? Have you spent a day on our campus? Have you been to our chapel, sat in a D-Group, talked with our President, or served with our ministry and missions teams?
Your post only makes you look bad, you should try to represent Biola a little better.
I have and I beleive at a college you should be accepted no matter what, I felt like when I was there, that I was looked upon as a heathen. I also got the fact that APU only cares about how good the sports is, I hardly heard anything from the side on acedemics.
Biola is extraordinarily open about it's unique niche and mission as a religious university. If you did not share the theological views of the Biola community and were thus "looked down upon as a heathen", it means that you LIED on your application and claimed to share the core beliefs of the community, when in fact you did not. I am not advocating looking down on others, but Biola screens applicants just for that reason.
Biola Nursing NCLEX pass rates are MUCH higher than APU's - google it. And do you really think APU's business school is going to be one of the best on the west coast? Better than Stanford, USC, Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, UCI, UW, Biola? How many business schools can be better than you before you're no longer one of the "best" on the west coast?
It amuses me that this is a video representing Biola and you, an APU troll, are here on our thread complaining. Awesome.
ccabalkaproductions - where did you get the background music? I would like to find good bg music that is not cheesy. Are there any resources you can point me to? Thanks!
As a former female athlete at Biola, I was disappointed to see this video show only one shot of a women's athletic team (volleyball), while 99% of the video (the sport shots) were of the men's teams. Come on Biola! What a shame! Represent those female athletes!
As an alumnus, I couldn't agree more. The video captures the essential heartbeat of what the university is all about, bringing in both the immediate reactions of students and the underlying orientation to develop Christian leaders in their chosen fields. Thanks for the great work! --Walt, BS-CE '85
Rocking fun entertainment. Looking good Darren ;). I got a huge grin plastered on my face when Marshall sang (good job man!). Great video, and you'd better win! As a music major, I kinda wish you would have showed something from the music department though rather than mock rock, but oh well, you're the experts.
Well, I just watched all the others and unless there are more submissions, I gotta say that there are only one or two that come even close. Great job guys. Very impressive on it's own merits and clearly one of the best of the bunch!
Yep, that's the Biola I remember nearly *30* years ago: very cool and rockin' place with little spikes of dorky-ness sprinkled in for good measure. Loved the school, very glad I went, still love the place. Was offered a *much* better education than I was able to recieve.
Great to see the old stompin' ground. As we proudly yelled in the early 80's, "GOOOOOOOOOO BIOLAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" But why is that gal at 5:12 wearing a USC sweatshirt?
If you are a rich, white, 18 yr old dude you will be in heaven at this school. My friend went here and well, she looked like every other chick in the video. She said the girls are even wilder at Christian colleges. Plus that guy in the video is probably the only one that goes to that school, good thinking man! So there's a little secret for you, Biola gone wild!
Actually, not necessarily. There are a few Eastern Orthodox and rarely a Catholic. The rest are Protestants. So it really depends on what you mean by "born again"
I will say this, if a Christian University is what you're looking for, Biola is one of the best! I learned it wasn't for me, but outside of my leftover student loans, I don't regret my time there one bit!
May I just say, I go to Biola, I'm a film student and I think it's so well done. Also, ever since I heard of this video it's been 24/7 open on my screen (muted mind you :D) and all i do is just refresh over and over and over again..
enjoyed the video! brought back lots of memories to me and my wife! So glad that as a school it's stay on course to what's it's called to be. - Biola Alumni '96
this is a very good video!!! i have 2 friends that go here.... one is a freshman the other a sophmore..they are both on the cross country running team.... =]
you really should of put a few pics of them one!!
but i think you guys are going to win you have a very good video and tons of views!
This video is really cool, but there are still so many more reasons why BIOLA ROCKS!!!! That didn't get put in because of time or whatever. Like: Even though we are a Christian school we still have people from different religions like Buddhism and Musilm come and share their beliefs as Distinguished speakers, we can pray and worship on campus in public without fear of criticism, after 100 year we still have kept our original purpose and stayed true to our beliefs, we value diversity
I agree with Liquid. However, had it been Ryan McMican at the beginning, that would have been incredible. Ryan McMican would be the star of your show, for He is the answer as to why your school rocks. Ryan McMican could have thrown the football from endzone to the other, and still caught it in time, without trying to play a trick on the camera by just throwing it high. No, His superiority is legit.
Next time you make this video Ryan McMican needs to be in it, or perhaps make a new video called the real reason Biola rocks, and the answer to that would definitely be, Ryan McMican.
Why isn't Ryan McMican in this video? That is the main reason Biola rocks, cause of Ryan McMican. Ryan McMican is why your school rocks, it's cause of him. That should be in the video. Ryan McMican should be in the video. Like, a 30ft tall Ryan McMican, beacuse he is the greatest...EVER. Ryan McMican. Oh and, Ryan McMican, Ryan McMican, Ryan McMican. Reason Biola rocks = you guessed it, Ryan McMican.
I graduated from Biola in Dec of 2000 from the Liberal Studies program and completed my masters in 2002. If it weren't for Biola, I would NOT be a missionary teacher in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil right now. It never would have even occurred to me! The amazing Bible classes and the Intercultural Studies classes I took COMPLETELY prepared me for everything I would encounter on the mission field. You guys are awesome to promote such a wonderful school. I loved the video and will share it. Good luck!
Colin, that was pretty darned awesome. I am proud to say I spent 4 years in the CMA department after this. I think the video did a good job presenting Biola as a University with normal people who enjoy normal things in a normal way, but with uncommon values and standards.
Great job on the video. Our daughter went to Biola. Met her husband there over 10 years ago! It's a wonderful school with a wonderful student body in a Godly enviornment in the middle of L.A.! Who'da thunk?! The ONLY thing I would have like to see was that awesome baseball team ....
My years at Biola University were some of the best learning experiences of my life. I am lastingly thankful for that campus, those professors and those classes.
Uh, yea Biola Rocks... was this even a question? Well this video will prove it! Great job guys! If you win you need to make a video of your trip and post it.
this is a great video guys and you did an amazing production with it. As for you az536 im sure all the students would immediatly choose biola because "the amazing schools of business and psychology? The nationally renowned Torrey Honors Institute? Our state of the art library?"
Yeah all those reasons want to make me go to biola much more than watching this video did
good luck guys i know you will win this and dont listen to dumb people who pretend to know what the fuck they are talking about
Wow. I'm sorry that you've felt the need to take this from respectful disagreement to blatant sarcasm and rudeness.
Listen guys (who made the video)--I think your intention and your production quality was excellent. We can all agree that different things appeal to different people. A person of my temperament is obviously not your target market. ;) I think we can all agree that there are a great many things to love about BU =) Truce? I never meant to offend, just disagree. Good luck to you.
please watch your language dude, I'm not sure you are a proper representation of what a fan of Biola would be --Biola is great b/c of of the God it serves
If you'd actually read my comments, you'll see that I don't wish the video was more preachy. Excellent academics, cutting edge technology and resources, highly intelligent professors and multiculturalism (all aspects I mentioned) are all decidedly "non preachy" topics and very highly desirable in *any* University.
My husband and I are both Alumni and I've got to say that that is one of the most disappointing pieces of promotional material I've ever seen. I saw little to nothing of the actual reasons to attend Biola University: a Christ centered education, a challenge toward a life of service to God, Godly professors and staff, intentional community, an atmosphere of accountability and exhortation, academic excellence, a variety of degree programs, and community involvement.
Why not mention the amazing schools of business and psychology? The nationally renowned Torrey Honors Institute? The professors on the cutting edge of literature, media and research? Our state of the art library? Our student run chapel services? Our international student body? Our world-renowned missions conference?
Az536, I see what your saying, but I think you have missed the point.
This wasn't a promotional video for Biola, but a student representation of why Biola rocks..
We did remember to mention things such as the amazing community, Godly professors and students, a Christ centered education, God's presence, and Dr. Corey stated a lot of our school's mission.
Keep in mind, it is a 5 minute long video (with a 10 min limit) and we feel we touched on many of the important things Biola has to offer.
I didn't miss the point at all. I realize that this was a student presentation, but Biola endorsed it the second they emailed it to all the alumni.
We shouldn't be ashamed of these things and frankly, I'm astonished that all of those amazing qualities that made us love Biola so much took a significant back seat to Mock Rock, Basketball, and the Cafe (which really ISN'T that amazing).
We are to be set apart from this world. This video succeeded in making us look exactly like everyone else.
I should add that I thought the production quality itself was very well done and you should be proud. I was just sorely disappointed in the content and the disproportionate amount of time spent on unimportant things. Biola IS Amazing but I think this video sells it short. But, at least we can agree that it's a great school and I wish you success. I'm glad to see you love it as much as we did.
I was surprised to see that they had sent this out to the alumni and staff, but I guess they were just excited to see that Biola actually has a chance at winning this contest and making itself known... I have to agree with what other posters have said about not alienating the audience... the contest is definitely in a secular mindset, so I think we should differentiate between sanctification and alienation for sure... I think it shows a good balance between fun and preachy...
I've applied to transfer here for Fall 2010. So excited already!

You did win the basketball game last year. But APU has how many Director Cups now? And how many in a row?
All this to say that APU will be right for some people, Biola for others. Both schools are great, don't hate APU for false reasons.

This video is really cool, but there are still so many more reasons why BIOLA ROCKS!!!! That didn't get put in because of time or whatever. Like: Even though we are a Christian school we still have people from different religions like Buddhism and Musilm come and share their beliefs as Distinguished speakers, we can pray and worship on campus in public without fear of criticism, after 100 year we still have kept our original purpose and stayed true to our beliefs, we value diversity

I agree with Liquid. However, had it been Ryan McMican at the beginning, that would have been incredible. Ryan McMican would be the star of your show, for He is the answer as to why your school rocks. Ryan McMican could have thrown the football from endzone to the other, and still caught it in time, without trying to play a trick on the camera by just throwing it high. No, His superiority is legit.

Next time you make this video Ryan McMican needs to be in it, or perhaps make a new video called the real reason Biola rocks, and the answer to that would definitely be, Ryan McMican.
RyanMcMicanLuver 3 years ago
Why isn't Ryan McMican in this video? That is the main reason Biola rocks, cause of Ryan McMican. Ryan McMican is why your school rocks, it's cause of him. That should be in the video. Ryan McMican should be in the video. Like, a 30ft tall Ryan McMican, beacuse he is the greatest...EVER. Ryan McMican. Oh and, Ryan McMican, Ryan McMican, Ryan McMican. Reason Biola rocks = you guessed it, Ryan McMican.

I graduated from Biola in Dec of 2000 from the Liberal Studies program and completed my masters in 2002. If it weren't for Biola, I would NOT be a missionary teacher in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil right now. It never would have even occurred to me! The amazing Bible classes and the Intercultural Studies classes I took COMPLETELY prepared me for everything I would encounter on the mission field. You guys are awesome to promote such a wonderful school. I loved the video and will share it. Good luck!

Colin, that was pretty darned awesome. I am proud to say I spent 4 years in the CMA department after this. I think the video did a good job presenting Biola as a University with normal people who enjoy normal things in a normal way, but with uncommon values and standards.

yo az... when was the last time you went to the cafe. Are you kidding me. It's awesome.
Also, 1998 Biola Baseball team. One of the best in Biola history, both on and off the field!
This video is the outright winner. Great production!

Great job on the video. Our daughter went to Biola. Met her husband there over 10 years ago! It's a wonderful school with a wonderful student body in a Godly enviornment in the middle of L.A.! Who'da thunk?! The ONLY thing I would have like to see was that awesome baseball team ....

this is a great video guys and you did an amazing production with it. As for you az536 im sure all the students would immediatly choose biola because "the amazing schools of business and psychology? The nationally renowned Torrey Honors Institute? Our state of the art library?"
Yeah all those reasons want to make me go to biola much more than watching this video did
good luck guys i know you will win this and dont listen to dumb people who pretend to know what the fuck they are talking about
sk84ever515 3 years ago
Wow. I'm sorry that you've felt the need to take this from respectful disagreement to blatant sarcasm and rudeness.
Listen guys (who made the video)--I think your intention and your production quality was excellent. We can all agree that different things appeal to different people. A person of my temperament is obviously not your target market. ;) I think we can all agree that there are a great many things to love about BU =) Truce? I never meant to offend, just disagree. Good luck to you.

please watch your language dude, I'm not sure you are a proper representation of what a fan of Biola would be --Biola is great b/c of of the God it serves

CaliKing1982 3 years ago
wow. Are we seriously arguing over this video?
It was a good video. It showed BU and all aspects of it. The mention of a 30ft. Jesus is pretty obvious I think.
Leave it alone, don't just look for something to be wrong with it because it didn't say "we're a Christian school" every other sentence.
digitallaughtervids 3 years ago 2
If you'd actually read my comments, you'll see that I don't wish the video was more preachy. Excellent academics, cutting edge technology and resources, highly intelligent professors and multiculturalism (all aspects I mentioned) are all decidedly "non preachy" topics and very highly desirable in *any* University.
az536 3 years ago
96 alum. Well done, proud of the video. Can't wait to show my kids.
hansfull 3 years ago
Wow.
My husband and I are both Alumni and I've got to say that that is one of the most disappointing pieces of promotional material I've ever seen. I saw little to nothing of the actual reasons to attend Biola University: a Christ centered education, a challenge toward a life of service to God, Godly professors and staff, intentional community, an atmosphere of accountability and exhortation, academic excellence, a variety of degree programs, and community involvement.
az536 3 years ago
Why not mention the amazing schools of business and psychology? The nationally renowned Torrey Honors Institute? The professors on the cutting edge of literature, media and research? Our state of the art library? Our student run chapel services? Our international student body? Our world-renowned missions conference?
az536 3 years ago
Az536, I see what your saying, but I think you have missed the point.
This wasn't a promotional video for Biola, but a student representation of why Biola rocks..
We did remember to mention things such as the amazing community, Godly professors and students, a Christ centered education, God's presence, and Dr. Corey stated a lot of our school's mission.
Keep in mind, it is a 5 minute long video (with a 10 min limit) and we feel we touched on many of the important things Biola has to offer.
ccabalkaproductions 3 years ago
I didn't miss the point at all. I realize that this was a student presentation, but Biola endorsed it the second they emailed it to all the alumni.
We shouldn't be ashamed of these things and frankly, I'm astonished that all of those amazing qualities that made us love Biola so much took a significant back seat to Mock Rock, Basketball, and the Cafe (which really ISN'T that amazing).
We are to be set apart from this world. This video succeeded in making us look exactly like everyone else.
az536 3 years ago
I should add that I thought the production quality itself was very well done and you should be proud. I was just sorely disappointed in the content and the disproportionate amount of time spent on unimportant things. Biola IS Amazing but I think this video sells it short. But, at least we can agree that it's a great school and I wish you success. I'm glad to see you love it as much as we did.
az536 3 years ago
I was surprised to see that they had sent this out to the alumni and staff, but I guess they were just excited to see that Biola actually has a chance at winning this contest and making itself known... I have to agree with what other posters have said about not alienating the audience... the contest is definitely in a secular mindset, so I think we should differentiate between sanctification and alienation for sure... I think it shows a good balance between fun and preachy...
