Project Overview
This was another video that grew out of an R&D 100 video submission. This project actually had three videos attached to it: One for an industry audience, one for a general audience (above), and one for internal training purposes that just focused on how batteries are disassembled. I worked closely with the postdoc on this one, with feedback from the PI, and spent multiple days in the lab working on different shots. It was a joy to work with this team, as the postdoc came to the table with multiple storytelling ideas and a deep knowledge of the work that allowed us to better capture the science (including putting an Osmo Pocket in one of the pressurized environments — don't do this without expert help!).
