JOAN CARTAN-HANSEN, HOST: How do

3
00:00:05,766 --> 00:00:07,000
we make Science Trek?

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,133
Months before a new school year

5
00:00:08,133 --> 00:00:09,700
starts, I start doing research.

6
00:00:09,700 --> 00:00:10,766
I talk with teachers,

7
00:00:10,766 --> 00:00:12,400
scientists, and do more reading.

8
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:13,633
We pick the topics for the

9
00:00:13,633 --> 00:00:14,766
season and then I write and find

10
00:00:14,766 --> 00:00:15,966
our guest scientists and write

11
00:00:15,966 --> 00:00:17,433
and write and write some more.

12
00:00:17,433 --> 00:00:18,666
We also collect questions from

13
00:00:18,666 --> 00:00:19,700
students for the blog.

14
00:00:19,700 --> 00:00:20,733
Next, we interview our

15
00:00:20,733 --> 00:00:21,900
scientists and do our filming.

16
00:00:21,900 --> 00:00:22,966
If needed, we film the kid

17
00:00:22,966 --> 00:00:24,100
actors who appear in our video

18
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:24,766
shorts.

19
00:00:24,766 --> 00:00:25,900
Cassandra, who is our graphic

20
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:26,966
artist, works on all the

21
00:00:26,966 --> 00:00:28,066
animations and words you see on

22
00:00:28,066 --> 00:00:28,866
the screen.

23
00:00:28,866 --> 00:00:29,833
Cassandra: Hi

24
00:00:29,833 --> 00:00:30,833
CARTAN-HANSEN: We record

25
00:00:30,833 --> 00:00:31,700
my voice for the

26
00:00:31,700 --> 00:00:32,700
set-up pieces and promos.

27
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:33,733
Then Jenessa, our director,

28
00:00:33,733 --> 00:00:34,700
starts editing.

29
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:35,800
She also edits all the other

30
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:36,800
visual elements, sound effects

31
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:37,566
and music.

32
00:00:37,566 --> 00:00:38,600
She also adds the close

33
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:39,266
captioning.

34
00:00:39,266 --> 00:00:40,266
Logan edits the podcasts.

35
00:00:40,266 --> 00:00:41,533
It takes the team about three

36
00:00:41,533 --> 00:00:42,600
weeks to put everything

37
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:43,266
together.

38
00:00:43,266 --> 00:00:44,333
The folks in traffic get the

39
00:00:44,333 --> 00:00:45,300
show into the system.

40
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:46,433
And the folks in master control

41
00:00:46,433 --> 00:00:47,500
puts the show on the air.

42
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:48,666
And no television show happens

43
00:00:48,666 --> 00:00:49,600
without the engineers,

44
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:50,700
The communication staff, the

45
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:52,000
accountants, the administrative

46
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,033
staff, the development staff,

47
00:00:53,033 --> 00:00:54,100
the web folks, and all the

48
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:55,266
production staff.

49
00:00:55,266 --> 00:00:56,466
So, you see, it takes a lot of

50
00:00:56,466 --> 00:00:57,666
people, with lots of different

51
00:00:57,666 --> 00:00:58,733
skills, a lot of time to make

52
00:00:58,733 --> 00:01:00,200
Science Trek.

53
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,266
