Hello everyone!
Some background about me: I am a 26-year-old chemist in Atlanta GA working full-time. I have an idea I wanted to implement and wanted to hear your perspective on this:
-I have a Master's degree in Organic Chemistry, because it is a subject I absolutely adore
-I also have a strong interest/background in tutoring people, particularly helping them with topics usually difficult to grasp like chemistry/Organic Chemistry
-My idea: create animated videos showing chemistry reaction mechanisms (from beginner to advanced), but with a twist: set to jazz. As a bonus, I have been a jazz guitarist for about 8 years now and I tend to think about things musically, even when thinking about chemistry problems. My idea is similar to those videos where people "jazzify" speeches of celebrities and such (think Trump set to jazz).
-My reasoning: as far as I can tell, on youtube or other video sites, there are practically none of the 2D-style animated mechanism-type videos that I had in mind.
-The combination of the music with the chemistry is two-fold, I think. Information is reinforced not only by visual representation, but by aural association via jazz (or whatever genre of music I want to tie with this).
Do you see this as a potential "Fastlane"? Or could it be transformed into one later down the road? I'd appreciate any feedback. Obviously, there are some animation skills I'd need to learn but I'm willing to put in the time.
