This book the first of its kind helps scientists and engineers of all stages and disciplines
share their work in a new way-with movies. Today much of scientific communication is embedded
in papers and presentations but these documents don't often extend outside of a specific
academic field. By adding movies as a medium of communication scientists and engineers can
better communicate with their colleagues while also increasing their reach to students
professors peers potential collaborators and the public. Scientific films help translate
complex technical topics into more accessible and consumable messages. By following Lauren
Murphy's filmmaking formula - planning shooting and editing - readers will create their very
own scientific films that look professional and polished. Using tools as simple as a smartphone
readers can develop short personal stories with no cost or experience needed. This book will
guide readers through all steps of the movie making process to a finished product. Readers will
evolve their creative thinking skills and use their movies to improve classroom presentations
network across student organizations present at conferences recruit students for their labs
secure grant money and more. Adding a movie to your body of work can be the tool that sparks
interest in audiences to learn more-driving traffic to your publications research projects
and websites. This book will help you develop new skills to become a better communicator while
spreading your ideas and research to new audiences.
