Where am I? One last clue from earlier this morning:
OK, one more clue:
Yes! Notre Dame! How did you guess? How do you do it? The exterior photo above is of O’Neill Hall, a building they’ve just recently opened after a $25 million dollar gift that helped change everything about the football stadium. Which is why I’m visiting. I’m taking a tour of their new television facilities. They have a gorgeous new setup and it is being used for classes, athletics and for the church. It is a unique situation Notre Dame has, of course, and it sounds like they are putting a great strategy together.
When you hear about 4K or HDR shoots, it is probably coming through a camera like this.
That’s a pretty nice multiview you have there, Irish. This is one of a handful of control rooms that are are all tied together. They built out a quality facility:
It was a nice day trip. We had breakfast, heard about how they built their gear out, enjoyed a fire alarm, had lunch, took a tour of their new production facilities and then it is time to get back on the road.
Incidentally, I’ve now enjoyed two fire alarms in two college buildings on two college campuses within 24 hours.
Anyway, this is an exterior shot of the famed Notre Dame Stadium:
Apropos of all of that, you can see the highlights from my previous trip to South Bend here and here
It was such a lovely, gray day in South Bend that I took a walk in some of the off-campus touristy areas. And I saw this:
You lose two shoes, well, that’ll happen. You lose one shoe, that’s a story.
Also, I discovered that they have Limebike. No locks or bike mounting system necessary. They charge $1 per ride and, like a good pusher, your first ride free.
On the way back, I stopped off at IKEA. It was their opening day. I went to IKEA during the grand opening.
It wasn’t as bad as Christmas shopping, to be honest. And I managed to pick up all three things I wanted.
