"TINTANIC" THE UNSINKABLE!" The opening segment presents the real TITANIC disaster within the first 10 minutes of the feature presentation. "UNSINKABLE!" brings everyone up to speed with the most well-known facts surrounding the tragic event – voiced by South African TITANIC survivor Edith Brown Haisman. The second segment showcases the construction of the “TINTANIC” as background footage, with the foreground being historical characters in the tale. The disaster is explained on screen with blueprints showing all the scientific scenarios that could have kept the TITANIC afloat – which evolves into the construction of the “TINTANIC” model in 6 individual segments. The footage presents the “TINTANIC” construction process from rivet one and includes a feature snippet presentation of the famous TITANIC ARTEFACT EXHIBIT *(courtesy of EXPORSA and Premier Exhibitions) as it appeared in Johannesburg and Cape Town featuring some of the 144 real artefacts from the wreck of the real ship – a show that was also presented by Gino Hart himself over a period of 8 months. The completion of the “TINTANIC” is presented in a closing segment up until her official launch in 2017, followed by a final closing of the eerie connection of the number 14 throughout the story of the TITANIC. The show promotes science, history and entrepreneurship – and the takeaway message is that you can do anything you apply yourself to which leaves a positive impact on the audience and a memorable lasting impression. TOTAL RUNNING TIME: 40 MIN LIVE Q&A SEGMENT: 20 MIN |

The "TINTANIC" is a special one-of-a-kind replica which features interior spaces, and at a scale of 1:29 - she is the fourth largest TITANIC model in the world. It took 3 years to construct, using 38 sheets of high-grade aluminum, 55 000 + rivets, 1000 + historically accurate window frames, 100L of glue, 160 square meters of waterproof plywood and 20L of resin. She will still be a work in progress for the next decade. |
