(Hampton, VA) Two videographers at the Langley Research Center are among NASA's
best, according to the agency's Videographer of the Year 2009 awards.
Mike Bibbo, co-producer of the half-hour TV show "NASA 360," and
Rob Lorkiewicz of NASA Langley's Media Services Branch placed in the top three
in NASA's video production category. Bibbo, who works for the National Institute
of Aerospace, came in second for the "NASA 360: Desert Rats and Analog
Testing" program. Lorkiewicz came in third for his "Aerothermodynamics
Lab Capabilities" video." He works for Crewestone Technologies, Inc.
Both are contractors at NASA Langley.
The "NASA 360: D-RATS" segment tells the story of how NASA researchers
conduct field tests to make sure the equipment they're building for future space
missions will work correctly, hundreds of thousands of miles away from Earth.
Lorkiewicz's "Aerothermodynamics Lab Capabilities Video" was commissioned
by NASA Langley to show customers how wind tunnels can contribute to their research.
A panel of "motion media professionals" from NASA and national organizations
judged videos in three Videographer of the Year categories: documentation, production
and on-orbit. They rated the three-minute entries on professional excellence,
technical quality, originality, creativity within restrictions of the project,
and applicability to NASA and its mission. Other winners were from NASA's Kennedy,
Johnson and Marshall Space Centers.
Awardees receive a plaque and/or a certificate. Winners were announced April
13 during NASA's digital TV working group meeting held during the National Association
of Broadcasters 2010 conference in Las Vegas.
