July – 2024 – Science Academy Blog, University of Otago, New Zealand

Science Academy 2024 Science Film students were tasked with making a short 2–4 minute film on an aspect of science close to their heart using only their cell phones and i-movie software. They were introduced to science filmmaking techniques over four 90-minute workshops at our January Science camp. They then planned and developed their ideas between January and July camps and shot the footage they needed in their home area, completing final editing during a further four 90-minute workshops during our July Science camp. The project was tutored by Max Balloch, Otago University Science Communication graduate, Philosophy student and an alumnus of the Science Academy 2020. Max is also an award winning podcaster.
