Back in October I went to Ankara, Turkey to speak at the Video Vortex 3 conference. This was my first trip to Europe and it was amazing. Here are seven minutes of little moments from my 5 days there.
I thought about adding notes to the video but they felt out of place so I’m putting them here. The first half of the video is from the conference at Bilkent University and out at various places in Ankara. The second half of the video is from our trip to Cappadocia. On the way there we stopped at a huge dry salt lake (it kind of looks like the moon). The tunnel we crawled through was part of an underground city there in Cappadocia. The pop song at the beginning and end is one that we heard on the radio – the singer is encouraging listeners to make a video for the song and upload it to YouTube. I also have a bunch of pictures on Flickr.

nice! did you notice all the (HUGE) Turkish flags everywhere & full sized advertisements covering the buildings. I worked on a project in istanbul earlier this year and spent some time there but didn’t make it to Ankara. did you have turkish coffee at a coffee (smoke) house? I preferred the cay (tea).
Yes the flags were everywhere and I did get to have some Turkish coffee which I loved.
Very nicely edited together Michael. Such a beautiful area too.
Great video
hello Michael,
this is indeed a great video that summarizes the couple of days nicely. And now, I regret being sick and having a lot to do on your excursion to Cappadocia. “This is a dead end?”
