Internet Killed the Video Star!

Alright that title only loosely has to do with this post... I just really like that song :) So what really is happening I got invited to be part of this:

I've applied to be on the show as the CAD girl, 3d modeling and I may also do interviews with inventors. If everything works out we will start filming in September and have our first web episode out after that. I'll keep you posted. Here is the synopsis:

Mech-Sci Synopsis

From the caveman who invented the wheel, to Archimedes, to Leonardo Davinci, to Dean Cayman the inventor of the Segway, mankind has built machines. For many of us, it seems to be in our dna to create interesting and often unusual devices to make our life easier or merely to entertain ourselves. Mech-Sci is a celebration of these individuals and their devices. From the engineer to the backyard tinkerer, we seek out these people and their creations and ‘Showcase the tools, talent and technology that make ‘em work’. We at Mech-Sci aren’t armchair inventors either. Coupled with our interviews, will be footage of the Mech-Sci ‘Mechanical Misfits’ building our own ‘unique and interesting projects’. No phony drama, no unnecessary deadlines, just interesting mechanical creations and the people who make them. On tap for the first season are:

Kerry Mclean and his Monowheel

Dezso Molnar and his flying motorcycle

Cam Rauhf and ‘Chain Link’ extreme travel off road vehicle

Waldo Stakes’ land speed record rocket car

Yves Rossy and his strap on jet wings

Doug Malewicki and Carnosaurus

Scott Truax and Evel Knievel’s ‘Skycycle’

Ivo Zdarsky’s VTOL ultralight

The planned Mech-Sci built projects are:

4x4 Mini buggy

1000 lb thrust liquid fueled Rocket

Screw-drive boat

Along with the show will be the Mech-Sci website, a place where fans can share ideas, debate, network and purchase merchandise. The site will also feature behind the scenes footage and a blog where we can connect with fans. Viewers will also be able to submit ideas for future shows.

In addition to the website will be the Mech-Sci Ebay store where people will have the opportunity to bid on projects created on the show.

Mech-Sci plans on being the quintessential ‘edutainment’ production, blending science, technology, people, personalities and humor in a show that is driven by the creative people producing it and fueled by the people who watch it.
