Assembled some more of WBNS' large HD video archive. This was shot 12 Years ago today, October 28, 1998, at OSU.
The campus doesn't look too different. The paths on the oval have been redone, as well as the library. I wish they had shot the Ohio Union but couldn't find anything of it. Enjoy!

Biggest difference: nobody was checking their cell phone.

Very bland looking clothing from 1995-99 but classier than today's.

The campus doesn't look too different.Ha! Too bad there's no footage of the Medical Center, Lane Avenue or South Campus. ;) Those areas of campus have drastically changed.
Anyway, great video footage! Love seeing this stuff. Thanks Dave!
To add to that: The business school was a year from completion, architecture school was that really old building (forget the name), RPAC didn't exist, John Glenn Institute was Page Hall (I think), Hagerty Hall was still the business school, and The Schott was just built...
You can see the stadium wasn't renovated yet... They added the top deck and new pressbox in like 2000-2001.
I'll try to get some other Columbus video edited in the next month or two. It's when I have time. We have the 670 cap being built, lots of downtown shots, and people wearing really ugly business attire.

That's beautiful. I love this series, and can't wait to see more!
Thank you again for posting this.
Also, 1998 was 12 years ago? I still feel like the late 90s were recent, even though I would have been in high school at the time. Other than websites, I'm still surprised by how not-dated stuff from the late 90s feels to me. I don't know if that's a matter of culture not changing that much (which is funny, because the aughts was anything but a stable decade), or if it's just a matter of me being older in the 90s than I was in the 80s, so I connect with it more.

No ipods, cell phones, Ugg boots, Northface jackets, or PINK sweatpants. Those kids must have been poor!

I may sound like an old-timer, but life was just better on campus in 1998... I miss it... no low-rise jeans and whale-tails, people actually talked to each other on campus with no ipod/cellphone bubbles... the fashions of the day right now disappoint me in a big way.
now I have a sad face watching that video. 1998 was a bad year personally, but still a good year in a lot of ways.
