“Science Storms” Exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry

film and television my films stuff I recommend

I recently worked with Cortina Productions to produce films for  an exhibit called Science Storms at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.  The exhibit opened in March and it has apparently been a big hit, especially with meteorologists!  To see Good Morning America’s Sam Champion visit the exhibit, click here:

Science Storms reveals the science behind seven natural phenomena—lightning, fire, tornados, avalanches, tsunamis, sunlight and atoms in motion and the museum describes the exhibit as “a perfect storm of physics, chemistry and curiosity.”  You can learn more about the exhibit at

As the producer , what I enjoy about the films is that the scientists  reveal what drives them to study these beautiful and sometimes dangerous phenomena.  So, in addition to learning  how tornadoes or form or what fire really is, you also learn what drives these adventurous (and sometimes mad) scientists to sit under moving avalanches or try to stop light. It helped me appreciate that science is not just gathering data or formulating equations; it’s a creative process fueled by both investigation and imagination.
