The following is a guest blog post from Allision Beale.
After the successful production of 19 OER demonstration and dissection anatomy videos for our A&P students in 2022 (check out the PHYL 141L playlist and PHYL 142L playlist of videos), Dr. I-Chia Shih and I began to tackle the production of functional anatomy videos. Our latest collaboration project encompassed producing approximately 40 short videos demonstrating the assessment of skeletal muscles covered in our PHYL 141L course. These videos are used in a functional skeletal muscle lab activity that mirrors a standard nursing school activity. The amazing results may be viewed in the Functional Anatomy playlist.

The EMC Video Production unit provided video support for this project. Production services included: lighting, photography, audio voice overs, and post production editing and graphic treatments. The team included: Camden Barruga and Theopholius (Theo) O’Neal, with Camden serving as photographer, sound, editing and remastering, while Theo turned into a phenomenal model alongside his regular duties assisting in the production process.

We look forward to continuing our collaboration with the EMC making additional videos to support lab activities in both PHYL 141L and 142L. In the near future, we hope to collaborate in the production of video lectures to support the new OER A&P textbook Dr. Shih and I are in the process of developing.
