Greg Carlson created the course in the Fall of 2000, and continued teaching it until the Fall of 2002. He originally designed the course as a 16mm group-project oriented production class. In the initial incarnation of the course, projects were created using the motif of the Seven Deadly Sins, with a group of two or three students assigned to each sin. Following Carlson's departure for Concordia College, the 2003 Fall semster was taught by Chris Meissner. The Seven Deadly Sins concept was retired in favor of an anthology movie in six parts using a metaphor exploring parts of the human body.
