Science Films 2022

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2022 | STEPHEN BRONI | No Comments

Science Academy 2022 Science Film students were tasked with exploring their favourite aspect of science and communicating their ideas through the medium of a short 3-4 minute film. They attended four 90 minute workshops at our January Science camp- planned and developed their ideas between January and July camps and shot the footage they needed in their home area- and completed final editing during a further four 90 minute workshops during our July Science camp. The project was tutored by Karthic Sanjiva Sivanandham from NHNZ Productions and an alumni of the Otago University Department of Science Communication and Max Balloch, 2nd year Marine Science and Science Communication student. Max is also a Science Academy Alumni from our 2020 Cohort.
