Actual website now, still in very rough shape, but at least there's a way to share content, register to participate, and the like.

Wiki is up and running at tseira.com/wiki, this will be a good way to to communal planning for episodes, content distribution and the like.

Also, to prevent thread derailing - This is not a show FOR /sci/, you are not the audience. This is a chance to finally make a decent goddamn documentary series about how Science & Math is fucking awesome. Especially since we haven't had one in awhile.

As far as format, i think it would be pretty cool to have a video explaining some difficult concept and then provide links/info on the prerequisite steps to understand it. These "prereqs" would also help easily outline gaps that could be filled with other videos

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 3 20:49:45 2011 No.2293275 >>2293263 Sure. Definitely will need some background music as well. If you want to get the guys from /mu/ involved, that'd rock. We could sure use some people to make us an archive of music we could use in the show.

Whatever genre would be best for keeping attention.

This music worked really well because it helped to give a bit of power behind his words. I guess that makes it a march? I don't know much about music.

And nothing too complex, [>>2293303] had so many subsurf modifiers (Read: Smoothers) that the thing took hours to render and the computer was slowed down to a crawl, literally, as I applied one after the other, goddammit.

I'm a political science major who's changed his ways and hopes to transfer into the sciences. I could try to contribute by providing a different perspective on the bureaucratic dilemmas in the sciences. Aside from that I'll have to just observe what will hopefully be a successful project.

Please make it funny otherwise you ruin the image depicted by 4chan. Don't make it a weaboo informational show or some other homosexual things, make it hurrr durr and give it some credibility. If you do informational shows, do them with a funny narrative, understand, faggots?

Don't go into magnets, and don't do stuff like "the lhc is searching for particles. they are very important, and they have $NAMEDROP properties, none of which we'll go into. don't you feel like science is cool?". If you want to cover something, cover it properly, which means selecting your subjects so that the audience will have the necessary background for understanding it. Feynman's puzzle of how a train stays on it's track during a turn would make a great video - for bonus points, pose it at the end of a video and explain it during the next.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 3 23:45:45 2011 No.2293969 >>2293942 I like the idea of bringing up the troll science images and debunking them. It shows not only how to use concepts in science, but how to correctly use them. Far more important.

Also I say we make it a ground rule to not talk about religion at all

We have a chance to knock some sense to religious fags but its not going to happen if we insult them(which is what will happen if we start talking about religion)

let them come to that conclusion themselves

I could write a script about the current state of undersea habitation, and the future of it.

That'd have to be multiple segments though. To focus on all the various technologies.

>laymen terms.

Proper use of layman's terminology is what makes or breaks a science education show. Cosmos did so well because Sagan was able to take complicated concepts and explain them in terms didn't need a Ph.D to comprehend, yet still conveyed the true meaning of the subject and kept people interested. That is quite a feat to accomplish, but we should definitely try.

Collaboration worked for wikipedia, I see no reason why it can't work on a smaller scale for this project. Some people may have really awesome scripts, but lack video skills, some people may be the opposite. If people actually put effort into it, I think it'll work.
