Welcome to MAKE... Make: television coverage around the web

Make Pt1569
Make: television debuted 1/3/2009 7am PST online and on public television (broadcast / cable tv). The series encourages everyone to invent, revent, recycle, upcycle, and act up. Based on the popular Make magazine, each half-hour episode hopes to inspire viewers to think, create, and, well, make. Each episode can be viewed or downloaded DRM-free, in HD on makezine.tv - the show is also available on Vimeo, YouTube, blip.tv, iTunes and BitTorrent.

We're pretty sure this might be the first TV show to launch in all these places, hopefully others will too!

For the new folks just joining us here, MAKE is a magazine, it's also a yearly event called "Maker Faire", a very popular website, a book series, a Maker Shed - but most of all it's a community of Makers who share their projects and skill. Make is what -you- make it. It's a growing DIY movement of people who look at things a little different and who just might spark the next generation of scientists, engineers and makers. Over the weekend our friends (and new friends) had some great things to say about the show, here's all the ones we could find, thanks for the support!

CNET News - 'Make' magazine debuts television series, Following on the success of their hit do-it-yourself magazine, the people behind Make will now bring their efforts to public television.

Laughing Squid - Make: Television Launches, Weekly Episodes Profiling Makers. MAKE magazine, Twin Cities Public Television and American Public Television have just launched the wonderful new weekly series Make: Television.

Lifehacker - Make Magazine Debuts Their Own TV Show. If you're a fan of Make magazine and their DIY-ethos, you won't want to miss the premiere of Make Television. Available both online in HD and on a large number of public stations across America.

Gizmodo - Make: Television, The Ultimate DIY Tech Show, Debuts This Weekend. Ever wanted to have public TV teach you how to make a fully functional pneumatic t-shirt cannon/Burrito Blaster in the privacy of your own living room? Friends, Make: television debuting this weekend is for you.

uC Hobby - Make: television is a hit! Make TV is tailor made for those of us that especially like the building part of Mythbusters. With Make TV it is about creating. Art, re-purposing common bits to technology to work in new ways. Often the only reason is for the Art of coolness of it but that is more then enough reason to convert an old VCR into a cool cat feeder.

MAKE Makes PBS Show, But Doesn't Leave Web Behind - One of the great one-word brands, MAKE magazine has been engaging with creatively-oriented DIY-ers since 2005, and since 2006 it's been using YouTube to provide video evidence of the amazing original creations concocted by staff and readers alike. On Jan. 4 it made the leap from the web to PBS...

Obessable - Make: television mini-review. If you like DIY, tinkering, ripping apart things, and building new things, then a new public television show available online may be right up your alley.

MinOnline - Make TV Goes Offline...and Back Online. After years of experience making some of the best online video podcasts available, O'Reilly Media's Make Magazine brand extends to TV in a regular series in partnership with Twin Cities Public Television. The most compelling aspect of Make TV is its distinct cultural posture and voice. More than a simple extension of a magazine logo and staff, the show embodies a philosophy of highly innovative DIY, a kind of counterpoint to consumerism itself. There is a sensibility here that is entirely consistent across TV, print, online video, and even the PDF files for the projects available for personal printing. In an age when cross-platform distribution is imperative, when magazines must become more than magazines, Make Magazine's brand exemplifies what is needed in the new media landscape, a brand that is as much a movement and a cause as it is just another content offering that is defined simply by an audience demo or psychographic.

Slashot - A TV Show Based On MAKE Magazine "Make: television debuted online and on public television (broadcast / cable tv). The series encourages everyone to invent, reinvent, recycle, upcycle, and act up. Based on the popular Make magazine, each half-hour episode hopes to inspire viewers to think, create, and, well, make."

    Make: television -- scripting process

    tptVCR.jpg

    tptVCRJPBG.jpg

    Only one more day until the Make: television show premieres! These photos of me and Bill Gurstelle are from the VCR Cat Feeder we built for the first episode. Here's a look at how we scripted the segment:

    The process of writing the scripts for the Maker Workshop segments was pretty organic. Executive Producer Richard Hudson, Producer Michael Smith, Technical Consultant William Gurstelle and I started off shooting bullet points at each other via email. Once we knew what the major build steps were, they would format those into individual shots, including where the cameras would be, where I'd be standing in the workshop, a props/tools breakdown, and the script itself.

    Once we got on set for rehearsal day, we'd run through this a number of times, refining what I'd be doing on camera, and adjusting the talking points. It was a lot of fun and chaos as we all brainstormed and threw ideas into the air to see what would work. We realized as we went that it was better for me to hit talking points as naturally as possible, rather than memorize a script. Those talking points were what we followed on the shooting day, along with the refined camera locations and set directions.

    If you're not familiar with this project, it uses the timer function on a VCR to schedule the feeding of your cat. Seems pretty straightforward. However, as Bill and I started building ours we both realized that VCR drumhead motors have a feedback loop to shut things down if the RPMs drop below a certain speed. This means you can't use them to turn much without either defeating the feedback sensor (not too easy as it turns out) or using some gearing to turn the high RPMs into high torque. We were on the phone a lot cursing VCRs, but in the end, Bill's pulley wheel design saved the day.

    Make: television -- pole camera rig

    camRig.jpg

    Another in my continuing series of behind the scenes photos from the Make: television set. This is the tilt and shoot rig we built for the pole camera. We mounted it on top of a very long pole and used a remote control and two servos to take photos. You can see next to the rig a piece of paper with every single screw, nut, washer, bolt, drill bit, etc. taped to it, along with annotations. Bill Gurstelle created this prop sheet so that I had all the parts to build it on-camera.

    Pelican case meets laser cutter

    pelicanLaser.jpg

    This is for a Make: television project Tod Kurt and I built -- a Wii nunchuck / Arduino "flight recorder" (more about the project to come). We used Tod's Epilog laser cutter to cut out a rectangle from the top of a Pelican case, so that I could mount a serial LCD panel there.
    This turned out much neater than my Dremel cut version. The best part is the thick bed of evil yellow smoke that curls forth when you open the lid. I'm pretty sure this smoke is good for you, so I inhaled of it deeply.

    The Make: television show debuts in only seven days! I had no idea what to expect when they asked me to host the Maker Workshop segment of the show. Well, the entire crew is wonderful and incredibly hard-working, which made it totally fun and rewarding. Everybody was willing to pinch-hit when needed. In this picture we see Executive Producer Richard Hudson grabbing some tools and fixing the firing circuit on our Burrito Blaster air cannon. How many Executive Producers can do that?!
