Dr. Sajjad Bigham needed a video to compete for a DOE Solar Desalination Prize. The total length of the video needed to be around 90 seconds, and the deadline was just a week away. 

Matt jumped on a call with Dr. Bigham to plan the footage needed and then spent a morning filming him and his graduate students in their lab at Michigan Technological University, and interviewed them in the afternoon in the MONTE studio space.

 Thanks in part to the video, Dr. Bigham's group has advanced to the second round and secured $370,000 in funding, and parts of the video were used in a recent DOE advertisement.
