A dream to the top of the Devon Energy Center comes true

Puts things in perspective, doesn’t it?

Good storytelling and visuals. It’s what we strive for in our multimedia efforts on NewsOK.com: text, video, photos and documents. We attempt to gather as much material as possible to tell the story and relay information.

Tim Money shot the above footage. He accompanied Steve Lackmeyer on an exclusive tour inside, around, up, down and out of the Devon Energy Center earlier this month. Money shot extensive footage. I’ll put together more of it soon.

Ran downtown Monday evening to deliver a DVD to Good Egg Dining Group. We produce some of their multimedia campaigns. Saw the below skyline view from the AGE office on 5th Street. Snapped the pic via iPhone. Then drove down to Kerr to shoot the above video.

Also saw downtown business stringing up Christmas lights. It’s that time of year.

Retro Metro OKC: What’s in your attic?

Steve Lackmeyer emailed me last week, inviting me to the Retro Metro OKC preview party at the Sieber Hotel in MidTown.

I interviewed Lackmeyer and Justin Tyler Moore about the project and its site RetroMetroOKC.org. Seems like a daunting process to me: organizing a local group of history enthusiasts and collecting people’s memories and tokens of the past.

It’s a great idea. The web site is cool. I admire these guys for their passion and expertise. Impressive.

As always, my friend and colleague Steve Lackmeyer has done a fine job with his latest article on the Plaza District, and how events held in that area are drawing business. You can read his article on NewsOK.com and watch the above video for 3 Things You Should Know about The Plaza District.

Skyline cam looks down on Devon Tower construction

Thanks to Devon Energy’s Chip Minty and Tony Thornton, Hines’ David Moore, our new friends at Earthcam, The Oklahoman’s Steve Lackmeyer, NewsOK’s Alan Herzberger and James Duncan, a six month odyssey to provide streaming video of the Devon Tower and OKC downtown growth is live to the planet.

Did I mention David Jones and Todd Fraser from my crew?

It takes a nation sometimes but the end result is a look from 50 floors up at the ongoing progress as OKC’s tallest structure grows.

On Sunday, I caught up with Tony and Steve (see video above) to capture footage of the concrete pour and a quick interview.

Yes, it was remarkably cold Sunday from atop the parking garage directly north of the construction site.

You can access the OKC Skyline cam here.

Steve Lackmeyer doesn’t like me

A few weeks ago I interviewed Steve Lackmeyer about the 2009 business storylines of downtown OKC. We conducted the interview on top of a downtown parking garage with the streetscape canyon behind us. Throughout the interview, Steve drifted away from me. We started the interview in one parking space and ended in another. In fact, you can watch Steve get his gangsta lean away from me in the video below.

Just kidding around here. This year we launched the video component to OKC Central. Steve has taken on his weekly video segment with seriousness, something I appreciate. He does a great job finding interesting interviews with the top movers and shakers around town.

Somewhat fun fact: Mike Koehler appeared out of nowhere (actually the nearby elevator) by the end of the interview. He was parked just behind David Jones who was shooting this segment.
