- Pittsburgh Film Office Movie Tour
- Duquesne Incline
- WQED
Artist Alexis Gideon joined us at the library to present his stop motion animated films. Gideon writes, scores, directs, and performs each of his films live. He shared his process and movies before we departed.
We then took the Official Film Office Movie Tour, a three hour behind the scenes visit to locations where movies such as the Dark Knight, Flashdance, and Inspector Gadget were shot. We went up the Duquesne Incline, enjoyed snacks, and watched a few scenes from movies filmed in Pittsburgh.
Our last stop was the studio of WQED. We learned the history of WQED as we toured the WQED-FM 89.3 studio, the Fred Rogers Studio, Studios B and C, the HD Sony Master Control Room. Plus, we hung out with Rick Sebak!
