Video on Sustainability at Williams (2009)
Amy Johns (Zilkha Center) & Marsupials

This video is made to be presented to the freshman class during First Year Orientations. The purpose is to illustrate the concepts of sustainability at Williams and show them how to be green first year students.

Data Visualization (2008)
Amy Johns (CES) & Cyanide Delirium

This project involved creating time-lapse movies that showed visual changes as well as energy output fluctuations of the 7.2 kW solar array on the roof of the Morley Science Center. The movies, spanning from July 2007 to June 2008, comprise sequences of hourly solar array images synchronized with a dynamic chart dispalying each image's corresponding energy output. Organized into monthly and entire year clips, the movies capture the solar array in different weather conditions and their effect on energy output. The movies will be used in the future by students in GEOS 206 - Renewable Energy and the Sustainable Campus, as well as future interns in the Zilkha Center for Environmental Initiatives.

Renewable Energy Data Visualization (2007)
Dethier, David; Johns, Amy (CES) & Business Socks

The Renewable Energy Data Visualization” project features a pair of animations illustrating the basics behind alternative energy sources. Using Adobe Flash, Team Business Socks developed two short movies—one exploring solar electric systems, and the other solar hot water systems. These animations, with colorful images and straightforward narration, are intended to appeal to college students by offering an alternative to the dry quality of industry models.
