The Department of Biology Education's Audio Visual Laboratory (Lab AVIS) participated in the successful creation of an education-based promotional video for Sendang Mudal Sawangan. This activity is a continuation of the community service program that has been going on since 2021. In 2023, the lecturer team consisting of Rio Christy Handziko, S.Pd.Si., M.Pd., Dr. Anggi Tiyas Pratama, M.Pd., and Rizqa Devi Anazifa, M.Pd., collaborated with Sawangan village officials and Bumdes Bimasena in two different activities. One of the prominent activities was the creation of a promotional video for Sendang Mudal, an educational tourism site that had been developed by a previous team of lecturers.

The AVIS Lab team took part in the process of making this video, starting from the planning stage with the preparation of a storyboard, shooting videos using sophisticated equipment such as drones, cameras, and gimbals, to the editing process and dissemination through social media. The AVIS Lab also contributed by adding a location map using motion graphics in the editing process, providing an interesting and informative visual dimension.

Unlike other promotional videos, this video focuses on the biodiversity of Sendang Mudal Sawangan, both in terms of flora and fauna. This step is in line with the lecturer team's efforts to combine recreation with learning at the location.

The use of audio-visual technology and editing done by the AVIS Lab Team greatly enriched the content of this promotional video. Drones provide a beautiful perspective from above, and the motion graphics of the location map add aesthetic and informative value to the video. This promotional video of Sendang Mudal Sawangan has been published on the official YouTube channel of the Biology Education Department of FMIPA UNY. You can access it through the following link:

Titik Muyayanah, Chairperson of Bimasena Village, expressed her appreciation for the AVIS Lab's contribution in making the promotional video. "With this video, we believe that Sendang Mudal will be increasingly recognized by the wider community as an interesting and educational tourist destination," she added.

The video also supports Bumdes Bimasena's efforts to increase promotion through social media. The lecturer team and AVIS Lab hope that this video will not only attract the attention of tourists, but also help increase public understanding of the biodiversity in Sendang Mudal Sawangan. 

In addition, the Biology Education Department of FMIPA UNY hopes that this video can inspire and support nature conservation efforts in various circles. The positive cooperation with Sawangan Village continues, with the AVIS Lab Team currently running a village profile video project that aims to further introduce and publicize the potential and uniqueness of Sawangan Village.
