Visual Science Storytelling
Wade Sisler is the executive television producer at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, and he has also worked at NASA HQ and the Ames Research Center in California. Trained in journalism at Baylor University and Scientific and Technical Still Photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology, he began working at NASA Ames in the mid ‘80s while finishing up his degree at RIT, and he says he never looked back. These days, Sisler is heavily involved in what he calls “Visual Science Storytelling.”
Sisler and other NASA Center employees around the nation use the discipline of television and video graphics to tell the story of projects, research, and missions created and managed by their particular center. The video, animation, and multimedia products they produce are for a variety of audiences both public and internally within the agency, and some of this content is also broadcast on NASA TV.
DCP: What brought you to NASA, and can you tell me a little about the background of video production at Goddard?
Sisler: For me, NASA was a great place because every time you turned over a rock, a mind-blowing story and often wonderful visual opportunity would crawl out. I liked that there were many new challenges and that many of the things I was to document had never been captured before. By the late ‘80s, I was dabbling in emerging multimedia, digital photography, and video, and while I hated the quality of the video image, I loved being able to go deeper into a story. Eventually, painfully, I made the shift to video and television just as the tools became affordable to small groups like the one we had at Ames. We felt lucky to be shooting on 3/4in. tape and were thrilled to eventually upgrade to Beta and then BetacamSP.
I transferred to NASA HQ in 1994 and then came to Goddard in 1997. At HQ, I worked on the IMAX films Mission to Mir and [Space Station 3D], and I also worked on projects with NASA TV.
How is Goddard different when it comes to the kinds of things you document with video?
When I came to Goddard, I found my true niche in scientific storytelling. Working here is a curious person's dream come true. The 9,000-plus scientists and engineers are literally changing the way humans see the universe and changing world we live in. NASA science provides insights into some of the most pressing problems and biggest questions of the day. Communicating the results of our missions is now woven into the DNA of our agency, and I think our team feels lucky to be working with an organization so passionate about sharing their story with the widest possible audience.
What are the main aspects of what you do?
There are really four main areas of challenge:
Visual science storytelling — translating complex stories with pictures, sound, and video
Creating or capturing absolutely compelling core content
Making that content widely available in multiple formats and multiple distribution channels
Doing all of the above very efficiently.
You've seen a lot of changes in the visual tools you use.
Sure. These days, the quality of the image is not an issue, of course. We now have end-to-end HD and shoot on Panasonic P2 and Varicam. A great deal of our work these days involves working with and directing animation and data visualization. Most of our important images are no longer shot with cameras, but are captured by satellites or are rendered in our visualizers' minds.
Interesting. And how do you share that content?
The biggest challenge we see is the fragmentation of the production/media world. We consider our customers to be a continuous spectrum of traditional print and broadcast media, web media portals, educators and students, museums, scientists, stakeholders — and, of course, the general public. The user community is fragmenting as the new media world carves up distribution channels into narrower and narrower slices. This fragmentation means that there are many more users creating many more products with our core content.
Can you describe the process of distribution?
Let's say we're producing material to illustrate the NASA mission objectives of a new kind of climate-observing satellite. Our work plan would usually call for creation of an animation illustrating the satellite at work. We would show it in action and illustrate how it works. We might also create contextual animation to help folks visualize the science behind the mission. Our producer will make sure to capture a few signature sequences that define a project.
These days, momentum has shifted to creating two- to three-minute reporter packages that can be used on places like NASA TV, web portals, and distributed via iTunes. The second part of our strategy is actively producing resource collections, which can be obtained via our fulfillment house or, increasingly, directly via online download.
Has HD and Internet streaming made inroads at Goddard?
HD has more than made inroads. Everything is HD. Even satellites are beginning to deliver HD. We've been shooting almost all HD for the past two years. It has been a little reach, but because we have such a high rate of reusing previous footage, it's been worth it. When the Solar Dynamics Observatory is launched next year, it will be sending down an HD image of the sun every second. Here comes the sun! We'll see all of the incoming space weather as never before. As far as web streaming goes, the new NASA portal will stream content and allow users to pull it down on demand. To get the uncompressed satellite footage and animations, producers will still need to go to the home centers like Goddard and JPL.
Can you tell me anything about Goddard’s work with stereo video?
We are working stereo video, but not with traditional cameras, for the most part. We do some work with the stereo pair of solar observatories. They produce essentially right-left eye images and we conducted our first press conference using the 3D images last April.
When NASA TV wants/needs programming from Goddard, is the footage sent via the WAN or via tape or hard drive, or another way?
We can send it via the WAN or directly via fiber. Goddard, like HQ and some of the other centers, is very connected to the various backbones. We conduct interviews with the networks and cable news outlet directly via the Bell Atlantic AVOC [a dedicated satellite two-way feed].
What can you tell me about the Scientific Visualization Studio at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center?
The Scientific Visualization Studio [SVS] turns raw satellite data into images. But this is much more than translating numbers to pixels. Frequently, these folks combine data from many satellites and sensors into a single comprehensive story. The mission of the SVS is to facilitate scientific inquiry and outreach within NASA programs through visualization. All the visualizations created by the SVS [currently totaling more than 2,700] are accessible to everyone through the website. More recent animations are provided as MPEG-1s and MPEG-2s. Some animations are available in high definition as well as standard NTSC format. Where possible, the original digital images used to make these animations have also been made accessible. Lastly, high- and low-resolution stills, created from the visualizations, are included, with previews for selective downloading [see svs.gsfc.nasa.gov].
Eric de Jong at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab is probably the unofficial leader on 3D within the agency. He has done quite a bit of 3D camera data viz work. Visit him at science.jpl.nasa.gov/people/deJong.
If there was one thing you’d like to share about digital multimedia content creation at Goddard, what would it be?
Our goal, and our mini slogan: One message, in many formats, through many channels, for many users!

Patrick van der Pijl: “So what is the business model of Easyjet about?” that’s what I ask in our workshops. Then people say:”It’s cheaper!” meaning that you pay less compared to traditional airlines. “That’s true, but what is the difference compared to traditional airlines?” I ask. -- More on www.businessmodelsinc.com -- llustration : Joeri Lefevre
Try to visualize a beautiful woman. Give it some seconds serious consideration. I shall wait patiently as long...
Now the woman you picture in you head, not only has form and shape, she most likely even have mannerisms and perhaps are wearing clothes. If so we can even with wisdom assume that the clothes she is wearing is consistent with, and thus reflect, the person she is and here is my point. She is to the mental effect almost a person, as your imagination is a VERY powerfull tool. - Mind you not even the Tihane-2 (The Chinese supercomputer) would be able to create in memory what you just did in seconds. (Further more, the Tihane-2 would probably answer that beauty is subjective and continue in long explanations to explain the beauty of binary simplicity, but be quite indifferent as in regard to the beauty of women.)
In your head, from the quest was launched, you started drawing upon your feminine resources of data in your eyes putting together a pretty much ”perfect” women ;o) But make no mistake, in a way she is VERY real, as she is created only and alone from YOUR subconscious imaginative spectrum of what a ”beautiful women” consist of. Those perceptions are not only VERY real, to you it is the whole world and thus, the very definition of beauty.
If you are a crossdresser, transvestite or transexual, you know very well what powers are to be drawn from within that imaginative spectrum, but make no mistake. When ordinary macho heterosexual men watch Expendables 1 (Macho hetero classic - 5 stars from my male side, Lisa says ”No comment!” shaking her head) they very much identify them self, with being amongst such group of battle scarred veterans, knowing each others weaknesses and strengths, using them in unison, like a team, working like clockwork and on backbone alone beating odds no sane person would bet a single dime on.
Women as well have their own visual identification spectrum and I stand accused making following statement without statistic documentation, but I have notion practically all women at some time, have imagined them self walking into a crowded room drawing all attention, dazzling everyone with the mere presence of their radiant beauty. But again, I might be mistaken and women not only may, but trust me will rightfully claim ”What the hell do I REALLY know about women.” and it is in fact quite true.
Never the less there is still much to be obtained from within, the almost magical imaginative spectrum.
You see, something happens to macho heterosexual men, watching not ONLY Expendables 1, but every film made in modern times that has to do with war, fighting, death, violence and murder (several times). Slowly, we find, such identification change such individuals. The same thing happens to T-girls who spend much time in the imaginative female spectrum, they change slowly, becoming more like that in reality as well, changing slowly.
Thus watching many movies on war identifying with being a vengeful warmachine, might actually in a stressfull situation, combined with a life crisis, trigger the hidden imaginative being nurtured by such imagination, making that person pick up a riffle going into warmode showing the world a thing or two. Where as a T-girl in same stressfull life crisis, very well might say ”Fuck it all.” pick up a pair of stilettos and wearing a tight skirt ”showing” (though in a more practical sense) the world a thing or two as well.
Today we had a meeting to talk about our vision for our research lab. In order to do so we were to visualize the current situation and / or our wish for the future. I did a combination of both. The vision part is in A possible future. My corresponding blog post where I talk a little bit about this visualization is Visions with Lego.

If you can visualize it, there used to be a gate hanging on these old hinges and cedar post. It seperated the old homestead from the work area of a small west texas ranch. If you close your eyes and listen closely, you can hear the old gate squeak and slam as a nine year old boy named Gail would run out of the yard at crack of dawn. Then again followed by his best friend a young hound dog pup. The gate was left ajar as they headed out on some wild adventure or expedition of an old indian burial ground; sometimes he would be off to follow his uncle around the oil patch for the day checking lines and pumps and such. As he left you could hear the sound of his fathers voice yelling out reminding him how he always left the gate open.
These post and hinges witnessed his return everyday with the spoils of those adventures - a baby rabbit, a litter of baby skunks, a horned toad, a grass snake, or an old indian war hatchet.
Then when he was older one day he returned home with his beautiful new bride. Her name was Kathryn. She was his pride and joy. The posts were awestruck at her beauty. And proudly received the new couple into her court yard.
Shortly after they were married Gail left thru the gate again one day to go fight in the world's biggest war in history. He was gone a very long time. The gate wondered if he would ever come back. Its post leaned and it drooped in sadness. Then after several years had past Gail returned again. Looking very sharp and handsome wearing his Class A dress uniform he proudly walked back thru this gate to be reunited with his beautiful young wife. The post stood proudly, the gate performed flawlessly, and the hinges sang his praises as he walked thru at last. Afterwards he and his bride moved to their own place and raised a beautiful family of five children.
The Gate and Post continued in their service as Gail's dad (Ira) would rise every morning and pass thru this gate to saddle his horse (Bill) and go work the cattle, feed the horses , mend the fences, and do whatever needed doing.
His wife (Laura) had died two weeks after giving birth to Gail in an old Log Cabin across the other side of the creek from this place. Ira had bought this house in the Town of Ranger, Texas and moved it here from over 20 miles away and put it on the back side of the ranch. He built a picket fence and this gate around the back of the house which faced west.
He was a man of solitude, a man of good character and great sense of humor, and a resourceful man. He loved his son, the land, the cattle, and his horse. Everyone called him Iry. His wife had died just two weeks after giving birh to their only child. So he remained a widower and raised Gail. He worked the land and cattle all the rest of his life. He was a true cowboy.
When Iry left for the nursing home the place was ok at first. Family came by to check on things. The horse (Bill) was fed, the cows were fed and cared for. After a long while when it was obvious that Iry wasn't coming back. The Old gate began to grieve and in tears the hinges were rusted and the old gate was dislodged from its place.
After many years these old post remain waiting for his return, longing to perform their service. On a windy day you can hear the old hinges singing their mournful song as they blow in the wind.

Records of a Juneteenth celebration in OKC back in 2017.
For those that don't know, Juneteenth is a holiday celebrating the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the United States. It commemorates the event of the word finally getting to Texas that all enslaved peoples were free that occurred on June 19, 1865 (two and a half years after Lincoln had sign the Emancipation Proclamation freeing all slaves).
I have so many connections on LinkedIn it became almost unusable and started becoming a repository of business contacts. This visualization, though mesmerizing to me at first and to others as well, is interesting though the groups are spread around time, location, profession and education.
The top and left is more related to my design expertise, the lower right is more my personal life.
Also the edges are filled with people I barely know. Then again in the center it is often the same.
Nikki Tirado of ObjectRocket asked the questions of NY TechDay attendees and I drew the visuals. The idea was to help people think about their challenges in new ways, come up with new ideas, and think creatively about their projects. These kids had sports on their minds, and were pretty stoked about the light sabers they scored from the ObjectRocket booth.
Visualizing the various features of the SwiftRiver distributed reputation and veracity functionality.
Things like Time, Location, Activeness as well as Global and Local interaction, are all considered in scoring. Time (green) and Location (dark grey) are optional, for scenarios like a conflict or war. The content producer’s location, or proximity to ‘ground zero’ tells the system to factor this in to its score. Also the length of time that content is produced after the initial event may also tell us a lot. Things like ‘time’ and ‘location’ are optional because if your Swift instance is tracking something like a political scandal, time and proximity may not actually add any value to authority calculations.
Purple represents how active Users 1 and 2 are. In and of itself how much someone uses a Swift instance is irrelevants. It could mean that they are an eager member providing valuable assistance, or it could mean they are attempting a brute force attack on the system similar to the Figure 1 scenario. However, when coupled with other factors, frequency of interaction is considered and can positively or negatively weight the score for a user.
