Kate Tectonics

Kate Tectonics was an educational geosciences channel, hosted by Katelyn Salem.
The videos were produced with the Montana Film Office and Synema Studios. The channel was written by Khyan Mansley, directed by Michael Aranda, and animated by Marcus Schlueter. The cinematographer and editor was Sarah Meismer. The producers were Todd Williams and Michael Morgan.
Michael and Kate came up with the idea together, shortly after Kate had finished her geology degree at The . It was partially inspired by . Kate tried to interest the general public in geology.
Their process started with an outline of the basic science topics to cover in an episode from Kate, and was then handed off to Khyan to write a script. After a few meetings, the production crew met for a pre-production meeting about props and animations. Michael and Sarah decided on how they want to shoot each scene, and the producers made any calls for permissions to visit a certain location. Shooting an episode took around two days. A finished edit went to Marcus to add animations, final coloring, editing, and sound design.
The channel uploaded its first video, Intro to Geology, on October 23, 2016.
