Frankenstein Video Wins Multiple Awards
NLM's Altemus and Detweiler Prove Winning Team
In 1998, NLM's Audiovisual Program Development Branch produced an
8-minute video entitled, "Frankenstein: Discovering the Secrets of
Nature," for presentation at the Fifty Year Reunion of the Markle
Scholars in Academic Medicine, in Phoenix, AZ on September 17, 1998.
This original program featured video of the NLM exhibit about
Frankenstein, scenes from the Universal Studio's classic 1931 film,
"Frankenstein," the Visible Human Project, and footage shot in the
anatomy lab at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
"It was very well received at the reunion," explained co-producer
Mike Detweiler, an audiovisual program specialist with APDB, "and
generated many favorable comments." In the first quarter of 1999, he
and co-producer Anne Altemus, a medical illustrator with APDB,
submitted the video for three prestigious industry awards. The
Frankenstein video won three of the highest honors in its
category.
- In February of 1999, the videotape was presented with the
Communicator Awards' "Crystal Award," scoring 90+ points out of a
possible 100.
- In March, it was chosen a 20th Anniversary Classic Telly Award
"Gold Medal Winner." The prize recognizes the best video
production of the last 20 years.
- In August, it won a Cine Awards "Golden Eagle," scoring 9 out
of a possible10 points.
The program was carefully scrutinized and graded by three
independent panels of award-winning professionals. These awards
recognize individuals and companies in the non-network TV field
whose talent and creativity achieves a high standard of excellence
that elevates them to the best in the field, and serves as a
standard for the industry.
