A Brief History of Medicine.
We want to give a big New York hello to Matthew Holt, Indu Subaiya and all the good folk attending the Health 2.0 Conference in San Francisco.
Fard Johnmar is representing the greater ScribeMedia family and shooting an episode for the Digital Health Revolution, a new show we’re producing that chronicles how the Internet, computers, mobile phones and other technologies are impacting health globally.
Here at the home front, we had a flurry of late nights putting together a video to open the Health 2.0 conference. You can see it above: A Brief History of Medicine… . We could/should add, “American Style.”
A lot was left on the cutting room floor in order to keep this within the few minute time frame we were operating under. However, new favorite person in medical history is Andreas Vesalius. His anatomical sketches are amazing.
For those who’ve seen it, the video’s an obvious homage to Michael Wesch’s Web 2.0… The Machine is Us/ing Us.
The music’s by Luxxury (hilarious video and site), the words are based off a ream of notes sent our way, and the video’s the work of Alexandra Lerman… some of you might know her as Pharma Girl.
Enjoy.

Watch the video for the opening of Health 2.o This is a real work of cinematic art. I am hard pressed to make this entry 25 words or more to satisfy the requirement of this mindless blog do…
Great video. Awsome. You did a great job.

A History Of Healthcare…
Last month, I attended the Health 2.0 Conference in San Francisco. One highlight of the meeting was a video produced by my friends at Scribe Media illustrating the history of healthcare. Great stuff. Click here to view….
Brilliant and compelling video!
I like the format, and the flexibility of mixing audio, text and images. And then remixing it some more. You could basically tell any story this way which keeps things interesting.
We left a lot on the cutting room floor and are thinking of remixing some more and going long with it, say 8-9 minutes. There’s just so much more that could be mentioned, increased context that could be given, etc.
For example, the story of Andrease Vesalius and his anatomical studies is incredible, and that’s not even touching on Leonardo Da Vinci or the cultural movements at the time that made human dissection something of a suspicious art. We barely touch on Pasteur, Koch and others who brought biology to medicine. Forget about the pharmaceutical advances throughout the 20th century. Ditto the genomic discoveries.
Tools used:
Me: SnapZPro for capturing text.
Luxxury: Reason and Ableton Live for music.
Sasha: Motion to mix and match.
