What do Sonic the Hedgehog, Rapunzel, pharmaceutical black box warnings, Waldo, and a camera jib have in common?
Over the last 48 hours, they’ve been involved in NUAMPS projects. We began downtown with Northwestern University’s School of Law, documenting a symposium entitled The Pharmaceutical Industry: Economics, Regulation, and Legal Issues. Instructors and participants from all around the country came to discuss topics ranging from drug development and consumer advertising to the safety and risks of prescription drugs.
The program continued on Tuesday, where operations split in two – my group continued the downtown shoot, and Mark ventured north to set up our six camera shoot for the annual Waa Mu show tonight, One for the Books. The stage is a gigantic bookshelf, complete with secret windows, doorways, library codes up to my head, and towering spines past raised curtains. Each number is book-themed, from an assassin sent out on a search and kill mission for Waldo, to a full cast number of tap dancers learning from Tap for Dummies.
I was assaulted backstage during a rehearsal when Bell threw a piece of bread at her Beast and missed. Astronauts were attacked by a colossal cave beast, zombies danced, and Harry Potter sang.
Such are the perils of this line of work.
My downtown group changed locations to the Lurie Center where we shot the annual Scott Lecture, this year entitled Communicating with Hedgehogs. Featuring Richard A. Scott (pictured above), Professor of Developmental Biology, Genetics, and Bioengineering from Stanford University, he discussed specific proteins signals called Sonic hedgehog (named after exactly who you think it’s named after) and their role in cerebellum development and tumors.
Next week: Cataloguing the personal genome with George Church!
Here at NUAMPS we have a busy night ahead of us. We are shooting the Waa Mu Performance here at Cahn Auditorium, and right now we are preparing for the show. This is a full team effort with Harlan at the helm, and the web team helping out the video team, more specifically Chris Wallace on Stage Cam 1, and Dave Look working with Don Kenyon on sound. We also have some of our part-time workers Erin Kitzinger, Carole Wefler, and Sean Clark doing on camera and doing PA work. And last but not least we have 2 of our student employees working the show tonight. So it is certainly going to be a goulash of talented people on stage and off tonight, and by curtain close, it most definitely will be “One for the Books.”

NUAMPS Video Production Specialist

Hello! My name is Mark Skala, and I am delighted to be a new staff member at NUAMPS. I originally hail from Oak Lawn, a suburb just southwest of the city. I went to school at Bradley University in Peoria, and ended up with a degree in Multimedia with a concentration in video. I graduated in May of ‘08, and shortly after that I moved to the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago. Being the ex-station manager of Bradley’s student radio station, I am very into music of all sorts. I consider myself a beer enthusiast, I used to play racquetball, and I whistle everywhere I go. (I actually can’t stop.) But at the end of the day my only true love is video, and I am extremely excited to be a new addition to the NUAMPS team!
