<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">In 2015, Miles Kimball, Craig Baehr, and I put together a special issue of <i>TC</i> in which we reported on an extended mixed-method research project involving Communication officers at companies such as Microsoft,
Adobe, and Madcap Flare. We, too, saw evidence of the increasing demands on technical writers to learn about and use video in their day-to-day work. I’m not surprised to see Michael Alley’s post, and, having had an opportunity to work with him prior to his
move to PSU, I know he offers sound/wise counsel. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">You are wise to have your students gain experience with film. Next to writing and presentations, film is becoming a major medium of technical communication. Although I cannot
directly address your question, I do have one suggestion for you or others interested in teaching your students how to incorporate film: Consider having your institution bring in Lauren Murphy to run a workshop (</span><a href="https://www.whitepaper-video.com/">https://www.whitepaper-video.com/</a>)
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">on creating a scientific film.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Once a year, I have Lauren run this workshop both at Penn State and at a consortium of universities in Norway. Holding a bachelor’s degree both in mechanical engineering
and in film, Lauren brings a unique expertise to her workshops. Although she currently does film work for television shows out of New York City, she has developed an outstanding workshop for undergraduates and graduate students in engineering and the sciences
Perhaps the best testimony for her workshops are the films of her students:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
