Media Machine
Bournemouth YMCA approached Special Media Projects with a new, exciting
project to build a mobile facility to be used to teach aspects of radio, web design,
music creation and animation.
Working with ENCO, Special Media Projects designed a
vehicle “The Media Machine” to address the needs of the client. The Iveco van now
roams Dorset in a completely self sufficient format.
On board is a complete radio broadcast studio with radio mics, in ear monitoring, an animation centre, music creation lab and an interactive touch screen learning console.
Children from 3 years to 30 years can experience the facilities on board.
As an additional
bonus, the vehicle can link its audio output directly to the Bournemouth community
radio station Hope FM (or any audio location), from anywhere in the world. Using
state of the art audio over IP and 3G technology, the “Media Machine” is the first
installation of its type in the UK to be completely free from wired or RF connections.
If you would like to know more about this and our other projects, please get in touch today.
New Interior
In March 2010, the Media Machine was involved in an accident, which placed the project
on hold for a number of weeks. After rebuilding the side of the van, and completely
stripping out, then replacing the damaged equipment and work areas inside, Media
Machine 2 is almost ready to launch.
The re-build Media machine will be hitting the streets of Dorset in May 2010, with the same goals but a new look. If you have already experienced the amazing work carried out by the team, then get in touch with them to experience it all again, in a whole new environment.
Check out the before and after pictures below.
If you want to know more about the Media Machine MK2, or have a requirement for something similar, we look forward to talking to you.
