For the second time in three years, UConn Health’s video team is the winner of an Emmy Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Boston/New England Chapter.

Assistant Director Carolyn Pennington and multimedia specialists Ethan Giorgetti and Ryan Bernat won in the “Education/Schools – Short and Long Form Content” category for their video “UConn’s Human Anatomy Lab: Honoring Life Through Learning,” released last fall.

“We really appreciate the directors and professors who work in the Human Anatomy Lab and the students who participated in the video,” Pennington says. “They were extremely accommodating especially considering the conditions in which we were shooting – it’s not the typical healthcare setting. We were definitely mindful of the respect and reverence the students have for the donors who have given such a lasting and meaningful gift.”

Giorgetti and Bernat are videographers and editors, and Pennington directs and produces. As a group they make up UConn Health’s in-house video production shop, producing as many as 100 video projects in a typical year.

Pennington, Giorgetti, and Frank Barton (Bernat’s predecessor) won an Emmy in 2024 for their “Science in Seconds” video series.
