nclud National Geo

This is part 2 of District of Columbia trip with Ohio University Multimedia Society. At this moment I am sill gathering interviews from everyone on the team and should be available next week for viewing. We all took a lunch break before heading over to Nat Geo and met with Ryan, alumni Animator.  

We also got a chance to check out their new production room. This is all still in Nat Geo building. It was nice to see a production room with all the light stands and cameras. 

Our last stop is nclud, a creative web design department that has dogs! Everyone were loving the dogs in the space. We talked to several of the web team and saw their open space. "Bigger Space, Bigger Price," they said. Which a design space should be able to cultivate their ideas.

DC was so much fun! I went with a bunch of the coolest people on the planet (cool centrally located in Ohio University) These are some of the photographs so far on my trip. I'm working on a multimedia piece for the university soon as a get some web interviews and other photographs! For now you have to "just" scroll through the photographs. The distance from Athens, Ohio to DC was about 6 hours in an 18 passenger van. By the time we arrived at the Helix Hotel, were were well aware of our comfort zone. 

We were all waiting outside of the Helix Hotel waiting confirmation of our roon numbers. Majority of the girls had their own pillow. Gina's pillow was extra special because it was an actual creature.

Saturday morning, bright and early. Our group were split between PBS kids and NPR. I went to PBS kids because I am a  kid for one. No hard feelings to NPR. (I do listen to Morning Edition in the morning) Ocean Elier, Web Designer and former OU Alumni shows his work he did for PBS Kids Go website. He said, "Big Paper, Big Ideas." ( I wrote that in my moleskine book :3) I thought it was interesting to work beyond the starts 8.5x11 paper. He also said, "You don't have to grow up." I don't want to grow up. 

Next on our list to do was tour the White House. Sadly, photographs were prohibited, but I took pictures in the entrance hall of Eisenhower Executive Office. Walked a bunch of stairs and saw the We The People website.

More to come :D
