Student project: "Uncovering Potential, Discovering Controversy"

Alumni Matthew G. Nickels and Joshua Beagle ('08) created this documentary in CFV 322: Documentary 1.

Matthew tells us more:

"Our intent in creating this piece was to inform people about the issue of stem cell research, in a balanced way. In addition we wanted to examine the environment and controversy behind stem cell politics. Most importantly, we wanted to understand the issue that our fathers (the producers' fathers) are both directly affected.

The idea was created when we were trying to figure out a topic for a documentary. Stem cell research became obvious because it was close to home and very controversial.

We shot in HD video using Sony HD cameras, and edited using final cut pro. The effects were created in After Effects, and some of the artwork and press material was created using Photoshop. The video was output to DVD and the internet using Compressor."
