Brief
We were asked to film 4
experiments for the Pharmacology team which used human tissue fluids; naturally
these experiments cannot be conducted time and time again for each pharmacy
student cohort, so that every student can have a good close view. A 2D
animation was also commissioned from us to illustrate The Counter-Current
Multiplier, a specific renal function that was particularly time consuming to
explain to students. The videos were intended for online video delivery via the
university VLE, in order to replace tutors having to repeatedly demonstrate
them live.

The 4 videos were filmed in
the teaching labs as direct presentations to camera by the lecturers, as a
translation of the live lectures to a video. The 2D graphic video was
storyboarded and scripted, then voiced by David Poyner, and animated by our
graphic designer. Some
of the 4 videos were edited into chapters for easy viewing, then encoded for
upload to the Blackboard VLE. The animation took longer to finalise (due to the
complexity of the physiological process) but was delivered over Summer 2010 and
in use by the teaching staff from Autumn Term 2010.
