I'll be sure to post another blog entry once I've digitised the other 2 segments - just have to find some time to work on the video!

As I said, the producers were certainly going for that zany science feel (and I think it's fair to say they got it in bucket loads). Still, I've managed to get over the cringe factor with the thought that I'm hopefully doing something to encourage interest in science amongst kids. Of course, it's entirely possible that they died laughing at the editing too, but I can only hope not ;-) Yes well, I can’t disagree ;-) .

But for me the amusement mostly came from the editing and cinematography. The bit where you zoom from the mp3 player out is a KlassiK. Well, it was somewhat amusing to see you on TV.

Mind you, the overall tone of Scope is a kind of 'zany' science thing, so they were sometimes looking for specific emotions/quality in my voice to match that. Regardless, it was all a bit of fun - something outside of my normal comfort zone :-). More than just being fun, however, I strongly believe that it's a good thing to be encouraging an interest in science amongst the age group at which it's targetted. As I said, I'm trying to get hold of a video copy so I can make the other 2 segments I did available on the web. Then you can judge how well I did at sounding like an interesting and interested scientist ;-) It’s weird seeing myself on TV – so yeah, I can believe that it doesn’t sound like me.
