It's all about discoveries, after all. One of its latest offerings Doing Da Vinci, which when you get past the many flavored title, is a treasure trove for those into ancient contraptions, inventions and gadgets. Any gearhead would be happy to do nothing more than lounge back and enjoy this delightful and intriguing show on a flat screen HD TV.
The appeal of this show is that it's got a modern edge. The team which has the pleasure of investigating Da Vinci's designs is a motley bunch; we have an engineer, a carpenter, a special effects designer and an industrial artist. Valek Sykes specializes in FX, he graduated from Temple University with honors and has worked on such films as Minority Report, and AI, among others. Jurgen Heiman has experience in several areas of filmmaking including camera, animation and special effects; born in Germany and raised in the states, Jurgen has worked with effects wizard gurus Rick Baker and David Allen. Bill Duggan is the show's host, while Flash Hopkins cofounded Burning Man, the largest art festival in the world. Dr. Jonathan Pevsner has a Ph.D in pharmacology and molecular sciences. He is considered a premier expert on the Renaissance man himself. Finally, Alan Bovinet is an innovator in new technology. The group spends their show time exploring Da Vinci's designs and making them come to life, in full scale glory.
This is a pretty interesting feat, even in this age of satellite TV and high definition pixels. As with most knowledge based shows, the possibility for blooming drama isn't great. Still the show is exciting. It's almost thrilling to see Da Vinci's sketches come to life, as they never have before. Plus, there's an added, technical twist, the team can only use materials that were available in Da Vinci's time. However, that doesn't mean they don't use computers or hydraulic lifts or power saws to aid them in their work.
As each show unfolds, the question becomes, will the thing really, actually work? Can Da Vinci's intricate designs hold their mettle? In the first episode, the team actually succeeds in making a wood and steel circular armored tank that is meant to fire cannons in every direction, using two small sketches from Da Vinci's notebook. It's hard to tell whether the contraption really would have worked, yet it does set your head spinning over the possibilities. Think what Leonardo could have designed in this day and age; what would he have done with HD technology, for instance?
The team's next projects include constructing a three story siege ladder, a scythe chariot, which is basically a chariot with deadly blades protruding from it, and a 15th century machine gun, which utilizes dangerous black powder. Watch and see if the team succeeds in their quest. This is definitely one show that you won't want to miss. Check out your satellite TV guide to find out when it airs.
