Chicago Auto Show Wrap-Up

From Alex Navrotski ‘09…

I spent a lot of my time last week working with pictures and video for the Chicago Auto Show Web site. My internship is best described by the multimedia galleries at http://www.chicagoautoshow.com/multimedia/2009VideoGallery.asp and http://www.chicagoautoshow.com/multimedia/gallery/index.asp.

Professional photographers and videographers captured most of the footage, but I did chase Gov. Quinn around with my camcorder after the ribbon-cutting ceremony. I mixed it up with the network news guys from ABC, CBS, Fox and WGN while the Governor toured the show floor. Standing 6-foot-4 is definitely an advantage because these camera crews like to crowd each other out to get a good shot.

I also spent a bit of time on the Chicago Auto Show Twitter account at http://twitter.com/chiautoshow09. It was very good at getting out only the most interesting and important stuff from the show.
