October 2010

Fall is flying by, and there's a flurry of work. We started the month off on the right foot by landing two new projects that we're excited to gear up for. The first is a film to accompany a new exhibit at the Smithsonian American Art Museum featuring decorative arts from the White House. The film will be comprised of a series of interview with first daughters, recounting what it was like to live with these historical objects.

We will also soon begin work on media for the War in the Pacific National Park in Guam, sure to be a fascinating project. It will be comprised of several interactive video stations, audio and video programs, as well as interactive games.

The work we did for the African Burial Ground National Monument Visitor Center was recently honored with the National Interpretive Design Project Achievement Award, praising the overall design and accessibility of the exhibit. Next time you're in New York it's worth a visit.

We're also headed to Guinea to film the Inuit circus group Artcirq, as they collaborate with an African circus group and tour the area with an original, multicultural show. Check out the new Artcirq website for updates from the field.

In other news, the new Regional History Museum at Tryon Palace officially opened to the public this month, packed full with NLP media, images, sounds, virtual tours, games, and general audiovisual wonderment. Research and writing have begun for a number of first person testimonial films for the Lao Gai Research Foundation in Washington DC. We've also begun work on the next batch of archival-driven journeys through Indiana's history at the Indiana Historical Society. And our first shoot for the new Mob Museum in Las Vegas is on the calendar.

Stay warm. Stay tuned.
