Video Production

Producing Scholarly Video

We provide support to faculty and students who would like to incorporate video into their teaching and research. Faculty and students may pursue options including:

  • Creating stand-alone multimedia pieces
  • Developing multimodal works where video and audio work in tandem with other forms of information and expression

We are available to consult with faculty and students about the technical and conceptual methods for incorporating v into pedagogy and scholarship.
ECDS is dedicated to making its multimedia content fully accessible, including captioning all newly created video content. In addition, we provide support to faculty and students who want to caption their media.

Steppin' Documentary

This documentary produced by the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship is an attempt to explore some of the social aspects of Chicago Steppin in one of its thriving newer markets of Atlanta, Georgia.

Hearing the Call

In this documentary video, Craig Womack and Steve Bransford explore the continuance of the Creek language, spoken by tribal people in Oklahoma and Florida, by centering upon the life of the Creek community leader, feminist, and activist, Rosemary McCombs Maxey. A reflective essay by Womack on the challenges and opportunities facing Creek language speakers accompanies the video.

Marie-Séraphique 3D Journey

The Marie-Séraphique was a French Trans-Atlantic ship active in the trade of enslaved persons from 1769 to 1774. Making use of unique surviving illustrations and details from historical texts, 3D modelers at the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship reconstructed the Marie-Séraphique and rendered out this video with accompanying voiceover.

Ossabaw Island Flyover

In this narrated video and companion essay, Anthony Martin and Steve Bransford survey the ecosystems of Ossabaw Island (a barrier island on the Georgia coast) and the interconnections of natural and human histories on the island. Martin’s audio commentary describes a variety of environmental features. This video essay complements two other Georgia barrier island flyovers: St. Catherines and Sapelo.
