RE: the best dinosaur documentary possible

[Bob Tess <bobtess@dinoart.com>]

I suppose I am jumping the gun and I am afraid of jinxing it, but Bob  
and I have been alarmed at the state of science education that we see  
and we have been highly motivated to do something about it.
We have owned dinosaurchannel.tv for several years and we are in the  
final stages working in an entrepreneurial incubator to create a  
television website accessible by a broad range of devices.
Our aim is not to spend all the money on a few seconds of animation,  
which only look cool ( when they actually look cool,) but to take the  
voracious desires of young children for dinosaur material, and the  
indulgence of their parents and cultivate an understanding of what  
science is, and does, and how cool the world is, and how  
understanding science relates it to their lives.
We will use dinosaurs as a way to reach them about math and art as well.
Our intention is to combat fantastical thinking by presenting real  
science to children (and their parents) in easily digestible bites on  
a daily/weekly basis and hopefully, create a love of science that  
endures beyond a fascination with dinosaurs.
I know, no biggie.
As always, there are 2 ways to fund it, the dark side of the force  
and the Jedi way. The dark side has a lot more money but potentially  
wants the right to interfere with our message.
(It seems, these days in America, presenting science is political....)

But, if you would care to help me put some numbers together, I would  
appreciate it.
How much would you charge to allow filming of you on a topic you love  
for 7-10 minutes?
How much does your museum charge to film a tour?
Is Skype possible from your dig location? How much of a financial  
offset of your field expenses would be reasonable to ask for Skype  
updates?
We really can't say more until the funding is in place and because  
the 1st 25 episodes are proprietary, but anything you would like to  
say to us you can email to us directly.

Thanks for your help.

Tess and Bob
