The NIEHS Office of Communications and Public Liaison (OCPL) is taking home a Pegasus Award of Distinction (http://www.pegasusawards.com/) for one of its first video efforts, “Falling in love with research, students in the laboratory.” The 3 1/2 minute video mixes still and motion photography with sound to highlight the four poster winners from the 2011 NIH Summer Internship Program at NIEHS.

Written, produced, and directed by OCPL Science Writer/Editor Robin Arnette, Ph.D., the video features narration by OCPL Writer/Editor Ian Thomas. Contractor John Maruca of Image Associates handled filming, audio, and mixing for the video, which includes still photography by his colleague, Steve McCaw.
Not surprisingly, OCPL Director Christine Flowers was pleased by news of the award. “Winning a Pegasus says a lot about the creative talent of our team members who put together a terrific video at minimal cost,” she said.
The Pegasus Award is given to the top videos of the year in seven categories, recognizing exceptional work by non-broadcast professionals. Judged by broadcast and communications veterans, the award honors individuals, production companies, businesses, medical facilities, government agencies, educational institutions, and organizations from all over the United States.
