We deployed a dozen creative media students to the eye of Storm Ali as 45 mph winds whipped around the Clonmel Digital Campus. You can hear the wind rush behind the excited voices of students at Ground Zero as they reported the event onto their Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter pages.

This was a dynamic tasking and that meant rushing out into the adverse weather without a firm understanding of the specific deliverables. We wanted to get high resolution still photographs in landscape mode. Several of the still photos needed to be in square format at 1400 x 1400 pixel dimensions. We needed several 360 panoramic images snapped at ground level and at waist level. The audio should be recorded in high quality MP3 format. HD video needed to be recorded in both landscape and portrait mode.

We didn't succeed in getting all those specific media objects in the short time period allotted and several of the media objects were not uploaded to the correct shared collaborative space.

Two of our creative photographers took the Ricoh Theta S outside for a panoramic look at the campus and the wind damage.

Winds in excess of 40 mph uprooted several delicate trees.
