Aljazeera - The Cure: Karl Landsteiner This piece revolves around being in a 3D snapshot of Karl Landsteiners office, with everything perfectly still as a bullet time effect. The camera with a very shallow depth of field moves around the office to reveal what the script is describing. Begin with a shot of Karl Landsteiner in an office. The piece is filmed as these objects are still life objects which the camera zooms around In 1901, Karl Landsteiner discovered that centuries of attempted blood transfusions had failed because practitioners had overlooked one simple factor: that blood falls into distinct groups. Camera moves towards Landsteiner Camera rotates around to show many pictures on the walls of his office, all related to the history of blood medicine We see an old illustration of blood transfusion, and how far we have moved on since. Camera moves back to Landsteiner The Viennese pathologist discovered different types of protein and sugar markers Camera starts to zoom into his notes on the table in front of him CHRIS HOMER Aljazeera - The Cure: Karl Landsteiner Storyboard known as antigens – on the surface of people’s red blood cells. Zooming further, can see his notes. These can be non specific research notes, but gives an impression and sketched diagrams of cells. He realised that blood transfusions between people with different types of antigens failed because the body’s immune system would attack the foreign antigens. Sketches turn into 3D diagrams of the cells with Antigens For example, if a person with antigen A on their blood cells is given a transfusion of blood cells with antigen B, Zoom out to show this blood type being injected into a human with a different blood type Foreign blood type moves into view of the humans own antibodies in their blood plasma will attack the donated blood cells, causing potentially dangerous clots. Antigens from the humans plasma move onto the foreign cells and stick on them Timeline of show Zoom back out of notes CHRIS HOMER Aljazeera - The Cure: Karl Landsteiner Storyboard Rotate around desk and then tilt up to see picture on wall In 1902, Landsteiner classified human blood into the now wellknown It becomes clear this is a classifaction table for blood types A, B, AB and O groups, allowing safe blood transfusion on a mass scale. Table becomes 3D and we go into the picture Classifcations start to multiply Today, around 107 million units of blood donations are collected globally every year – demonstrating the huge impact of Landsteiner’s discovery. Zoom out to show this shows the amount of units donated In 1930 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine. Zoom back out of picture and around to show nobel prize on the desk CHRIS HOMER Aljazeera - The Cure: Karl Landsteiner Storyboard Move along from nobel prize back to notes Characteristic of his energetic and hard-working nature, Landsteiner died pipette in hand in June 1943, Note blows off after suffering a heart attack in his laboratory at the Rockefeller Institute in New York. Reveals picture of Karl Landsteiner CHRIS HOMER
