Northwest Invention Center Filmmaking

The Northwest Invention Center is now collaborating with a team of scientists-turned-filmmakers to provide film/video production services for researchers, museums, and other organizations.

Film and video can be an invaluable tool for instruction, complement and enrich curricula, and help revitalize public relations or publicity campaigns. This tool can help you reach out to new audiences with your exhibits, educational outreach, and science communication efforts.

We will work with you to develop innovative multimedia products that meet your demands and fit your budget. Pricing is flexible, with productions ranging from ultra-low-budget to broadcast quality. Production experience includes film, video (standard and Hi-Def), and computer graphics/animation. Experienced and certified in terrestrial and aquatic filmmaking, we can go anywhere a project may lead.

Our filmmakers are all former scientists who were not satisfied with the current state of science communication and have set out to bring creative new approaches to science filmmaking. Coming from diverse scientific backgrounds they have produced films on a wide variety of scientific subjects and are eager to find innovative solutions to meet your scientific and creative needs.

G' Day

After a chilly month in northernmost Sweden in February, we will be giving workshops at the Children’s Museum of Jordan and for Kids Invent! affiliates in Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi. Then we continue to QUESTACON in Canberra for a few days and several weeks of workshops in Western Australia with SciTech in Perth and the University of Western Australia. Packing for an 80 degree (F) temperature change will be a challenge.

Brrrr!

With sponsorship from the Fulbright Scholarship Board and the Institute for International Education we will be giving a series of hands-on workshops for teachers throughout the northern most province of Sweden in February. Technichus, the science center in Lulea, is hosting our visit. Our previous workshops there were well received and we are delighted to be returning.

Effective teaching

Students learn best when they are engaged in solving challenging problems. We engage students working in small teams to design and build solutions to fun problems. They learn and like learning. If you want students to learn science eagerly, contact us.
