How to make a light Sabre - Graphic animations for Michio Kaku's glimpse of what might be possible in the future

The first series of Sc-Fi Science focused on challenges that are usually the stuff of science fiction - but that might one day become reality.

Michio Kaku is an eminent physicist and futurologist, who knows how ideas like time travel, invisibility cloaks and worm holes in space might actually be made to work.

Each show features retro style animation to describe the various options Kaku things might exist. Then one route is identified as best and the design for that device is completed in CGI, before being shown to a group of Sci-fi fans who appraise it for credibility and general coolness.

A second series of ten half hours is now in production for broadcast later in 2010.
