Interdisciplinary collaboration Digital Media Studio staff partnered with English Professor Michael Kramp to teach seven comprehensive filmmaking workshops for his Mothers of Sierra Leone Documentary Filmmaking course. The instruction covered fundamental techniques and best practices, offer ing hands-on training for camera, microphone, drones, and lighting equipment. The workshops culminated in post-production sessions, providing beginner and advanced instruction in Adobe Premiere Pro editing software. Equipped with their newly developed skills and CITLprovided equipment, students traveled to Sierra Leone to film on-site. Kramp, who is co-director of the Mothers of Sierra Leone project along side Dr. Fathima Wakeel, expressed his gratitude for the collaboration. He emphasized the critical role of CITL’s support, especially through DMS staff who trained students in film production and drone operation. “During this recent trip, we completed filming for a series of films tied to postnatal care,” Kramp shared. “We also developed a new 12-month study at three rural health sites to evaluate the efficacy of our films and address health disparities in West Africa.” This cross-college, interdisciplinary effort highlights the value of collaboration between academic departments and CITL’s expertise in supporting high-impact research. Cross-college research projects are inevitably complex and, well, messy. I am deeply grateful for the support and expert guidance that you and your office have provided. – MICHAEL KRAMP, Professor, English Tomas Gonzalez-Fernandez, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Bioengineering PROJECT: To collaborate with CITL staff on the cre ation of high production value instructional videos so as to implement a flipped classroom and devote class meetings to hands-on demonstrations, group work, and active learning.
