Pittsburgh's Creative Scene



Pittsburgh is finally starting to gain national traction as a place where technology, art and creativity meet.

Best part about this video is how little thay had to stretch to make it. I can think of a lot of great area companies, game makers, ad agencies, designers and particularly architects that were not included. Also doesn't include the very large number of area firms applying creative technologies to things like weapon systems--something that they might not want to hype.

It's an easy come easy go situation, in that many of these start ups may not be around in a little while, but it looks like there's a lot more on the way.

A few of the companies listed.

Schell Games
Deep Local
Body Media
Songwhale
Maya Design
ModCloth
4 Moms
Interbots
Lightwave International
Beatbots
Animal
LEMUR
Evil Genius Designs

Some stuff they left out.

Yinzcam
Edge Studio
Slate XP
Left Right Studios
Etcetera Edutainment
ClankWorks
