There are some brands of has created executions that have been knights the. Kentucky Fried Chicken and it. Is probably not. In the United StatesDigital Advertising spend has dropped by a 3rd traditional media. But. Its right now ill try to messaging just to let people know. How this still operate saying. They can still Work Together and they sort of adapt to the current situation. You. Know you are even now. First. Television. Today hand sanitizers are the rage. For the. A metre and a half or 6 feet if youre from the us im sick of hearing it i need a hug you know going to get that of work after wait til you get home if youve got someone at home to give you a hug that is all someone whos prepared to give you a hug or even a reassuring pat on the back in the meantime the business of distance has invaded every aspect of our personal and professional lives but at what cost the costs in the Film Industry were already extraordinary now theyve gone through the roof scripts need a total rewrite how do you convey emotion in the age of the coronavirus act out a love story without this is the 6 scene plot of crime series when the murderer cant actually lay hands on a victim because of social distancing some productions of started filming again but as i found out under very different circumstances. It is totally bizarre. Theres no stabbing no strangling no fist fight. You know theres no handcuffing. Me it is all quick i mean its its a crime mystery. Scenario where nobodys actually getting closer than 150 my name is always child or im a screenwriter and i live in berlin. So this is a scene from a precursor on a script. 986 in west and im going to the morning sun blazing 10 rebels and the north on the back of a truck squeezed in between big wooden crates nora tries hard to avoid body contact not shots but skin on skin everyone sweating heavily for one of these men going to do to her. And now this is a corona script. And lives because you 1020 the steel door opening with a metallic screech you see andre and 6 feet behind him richie pointing a rifle at andres back richie follows him inside keeping a safe distance knowing that his hostage is much stronger than. Dont even try and trick me and i will shoot again. I can write a murder mystery where even the killer keeps his distance for instance so. With a long shotgun or poisoning our 2nd i want everybody to have an arrow yes creatively its been quite a challenge and it will be a challenge. Is that playing up kissing her. Yes. The film said usually are just buzzing with people running around each other stumbling into each other keep their distance. Saying is very physical and includes working together closely with other people literally closely thats not possible anymore and its on the present in the present i dont im on a rudolph i played avi wagner in red roses painted. Can you see. Any. Kind of a reference your avatar media says in vietnam when youre acting you dont want to feel like youre on set and im set but this little voice in your head says keep your distance one and a half meters one and a half meters youre always aware that youre acting and thats a constraint and call. It a presenting remove your masks a 10 minute break get some fresh air out of it i wanted to hear the man i was getting the get a young boy ive been playing thomas young son for 14 years you knew it was my home i want to stay here its just another thing i have to think about i have my lines the scene my screen partner the set. And then suddenly someone yells from behind one meter 50 like some kind of commandant commandant so im done tricked him into it startles you and totally throws you off yeah that was too close and. Im eddie im the floor manager but they call me yards to get. This i spent 80 percent of the day brandishing my yardstick constantly reminding people come on guys maintain a distance put it off how do you know strength that its probably problem is that we have to completely rethink our usual routines filming has totally changed the story and sarkozy to top it up this is a totally unexpected gradys. What should takes longer. And costs more in part and we were in crisis mode and we had to come up with a completely different way of producing large you know i mean walking cause i managing director of a serial drama. I cant you cant make movies without insurance and a pandemic like over 19 is not insured exacts a risk its something we have to discuss with clients and more importantly with policymakers hopefully will soon be at least partially insured motorists is it worth taking that risk at the end of the day. Yeah totally theres no sense in not filming you have to do it differently on taking every single project into account on an individual basis i stand behind my baton weve set up a crisis team that draws up an action plan for every production in conjunction with our Company Doctor to establish who gets tested when and how often v. F. L. To fight an invasion but most contested a lot of money is being put into the project that the audience doesnt see so the film will be more expensive and i will look cheap or probably even it when i dont think anyone will notice the difference now even airbrushed out the plexiglas during the kiss in a wedding scene no i dont think people will notice it will look a bit awkward people will move quickly let us keep their tricks you can use in a way you set up cameras film is about creating allusions feel it was your own that sort. Of thing. Is there anything you miss. Yes physical contact i missed that some decision amend humans are social creatures and you always have the urge to shake someones hand or hug a friend and thats not allowed thats a real pain this stuart maslows. Fighting with scripts have to be written cleverly so it makes sense for us to be one and a half meters away from each other and i dont need to options theres no sex obviously having a the audience imagine a sex scene with another to believe getting close to each. Thats a lot of work for me to you know to create in to some of the daily soaps even have improvements because you have to tell a love story in a different way for the 17th time its been quite exciting and positive it was you know it was actually a creative challenge. But i wouldnt want to go on like this at my age its better to do fewer sex scenes. Its kind of weird specially if its an emotional moment and youd usually embrace someone or a love scene like here. Showed up i want to sleep. Make lights out were just glad to be filming again being in the process every day makes you realize again and again how how serious the entire situation is you know i dont think people get careless quite the contrary i think it makes you realize even more that this is not over but this will be with us for a while its who you are is a reassured that were keeping our distance yes mom i will. Have some point it will just look awkward we could keep going on like this for another 3 or 4 weeks but then it would have to return to normal otherwise its just not credible anymore. Otherwise what sort of products will if you will get. A very distance to one of. The best products by a mile. Some of us have always walked around like were in a bubble totally unaware of anyone else around us its nice people are finally realizing that theyre not the only ones on this planet. With or without a pandemic and when it comes to social distancing well its really nothing new in fact they were always informal rules that most of us followed up to 40 centimeters tends to be the standard among family members one and a half meters a comfortable space between friends up to 4 meters is a stranger. And more than 4 meters for interacting with a bigger group of the generally accepted social parameters here in europe in north america in other parts of the world people like to get even closer although european style is already too close for me in australia weve got a lot more space and its usually too hot to get too close anyway i always found sitting right next to a stranger in the dock in a cinema though a little unnerving and now its a no go in karate types which is why dr ian movies are enjoying a revival. With protests and Creative Ideas event organizers are fighting for their very livelihoods. This is kevan park and christiane blues his new Office Parking lot near berlin so many big stadiums and they lost their jobs in the Coronavirus Crisis but they werent willing to sit back and let things happen. These events and you have to always be at festivals and concerts setting up the deal was operating camera and Video Technology so then in february when the news 1st started coming in and lots of things were canceled we fell into a deep depression. For 2 weeks it felt a bit like a staycation that was something new and were always open to new things without the 2 weeks it was a new anymore and we started to consider what we could do for. A day drive in movies everyone sits in their cars so we file the application. The formalities were tough but we were tougher. In their new company is called car owner and its comprised of former colleagues at the start of june they launched their drive in cinema the only one of its kind in berlin. But nothing for and after the film go back on stage and do a q. And a and answer questions from the fans. Complying with the coronavirus safety regulations shouldnt get in the way of moviegoers having a good time. And says the service here is so sweet they will show when children come around selling ice cream weve brought her in provisions and were really looking forward to. The drive and aims to please. And save jobs prison and were one of the only firms that hasnt fired people in the crisis. Weve hired close to 20 people. Already understood or driven incredibly happy to be working again you can see the joy written all over our faces. Struggles its because hes. Been door social distancing is harder to handle so many events have been canceled or forced to go on line artists event managers and stage hands are demonstrating for more government assistance they often work for small agencies or are selfemployed and now fear for their livelihoods. Manager i think and of course we have a lot fewer commissions its a difficult time for the industry right now on the moment. Im sure its a tough situation because youve got to eat. I have a child to feed on but. Somehow life must go on by forgive us mamma i could start doing odd jobs and go on welfare but ive been self employed for 25 years ive never wanted to apply for welfare. Across germany some 2000000 people share a similar fate. At the drive in there showing a new film the premier with the actors and the director wasnt as glamorous as usual still the crew is happy. As is one of those and its a sign that cinema isnt dead and that we need to support it in any way possible so. That i dont have a name for we were one of the few films to actually profit from the crisis because we released it when everyone else was too afraid to we opened on may 20th and ours was the only film around for 3 or 4 weeks. That i feel. The film man from beirut tells the story of a blind hitman and follows his heart. Among the stars was a vision of this was a little bit serious a little or. House film profits while cinema fans rejoice about the revival of drive ins and the organizers are happy that at least theyre not losing money. For them the main thing is to save at least a few jobs with a good idea. And despite coronavirus to remain optimistic. Thats what about one of the good thing about this business is were used to react too quickly and were used to setting up and dismantling things fast so im quite confident well be able to use that strength to change things we can confide in the most important thing is that were giving these people what they need every night the drive away from here with a smile on their faces and that will never change and neither will i walk again but what happens in the winter in the office theyre making plans. Think of something well look at the easing of measures as closely as we did the restrictions back then and come up with a plan for sure. Lots of businesses are having to come up with a plan b. And as we just heard some of. Thats also true for the one in this next report while farmers struggle to find workers to tend to their fields in times of corn to help could quite literally come from above. Could this be the future of agriculture. Is that prostate is the easiest thing to simply as we are to apply because. This is the capital of god one big problem in west africa is how to ensure Food Security for a rapidly growing population. Start up aqua meyer has been producing drones for farming for 2 years now the c. E. O. Eat him ave megan is preparing for the firms next job. So im just 2nd knows it was this is such i did a part of the doing that sprinkling of the chemicals on liquid or what their way is they want to apply on the farm. The Coronavirus Crisis has turned his drone business on its head there was enough not this infection exercise where the government contracted us in but not shipped with to my own to spray my kids. And so advanced playgrounds we had our jobs to do. In outside on us so we would get there from in the ivory coast before the law down hopping and unfortunately for us there but this often all the crew is all out there recess ascot and i because when they were to come im crazy cute that. He and his team are now heading east to a big farm they can afford to use pesticides and drones. If you think. Well. First this is their 1st time here and they want to test how well the drone works in the area. Major challenges we face and we experience a little if its here is if i got i d. P. S. To stand down gaze and look very stable for some time to go through our news and in operation difficult course the g. P. S. System this is is not working very well so its difficult to get application down for the. Few days that poku of abio has had trouble finding workers in the pandemic so hes planning to use drones in the future. So the law is now somewhere 3 so were able to commute from a couple to the farm so we missed a lot of spring time but. This rise of 1000 open up with a devoted drones. If they would to save the file my little time and what who does what it was what time. The Service Costs around 20. 00 euros per hectare or a lot of money in ghana when compared to conventional methods the drone uses less pesticide and the farmer doesnt need to hire anyone to do the spraying but it will take time for farmers here to accept and adopt a technology quite difficult getting them to embrace it and then to do i also understand how did draw on for example would effectively be course for them gets in direct contact with their soil is there much effectively or that theyre doing flying over i had to fear that their dream flying overhead cargo to do the application proper so is quite tedious if you Young Farmers like david himself be afraid of either pick another just so its easier for us to call them the deciding factor will be whether or not it improves the harvest the Drone Developers say the technology can increase yield by as much as 40 percent the drones spray the entire crop with pesticide so theres no loss to the infestations that alone can make it worth the price. Flying through the air but something a lot of us had started to take for granted and then suddenly travel and tourism was brought to a standstill now would be globetrotters all around the world are stuck at home still craving a chance to see lads a far i feel of myself well todays technology is so sophisticated maybe it can take us to those places we want to go the question is is that an adequate substitute for the real thing. Diving headfirst into the Virtual World can we really go on a journey without travelling and how does it feel im giving it a try. Ive always travelled as a reporter but ive also travelled a lot in my free time ive backpacked through asia and australia. And im starting to get itchy feet again i would say that times have changed i take a trip to the id experts at the university of hamburg french dynaco runs a Research Group studying human computer interaction im going to take a trip in his Virtual Reality laboratory. At the touch of a button i can fly anywhere i desire automatically. Im back at the old a rock formation in the australian outback. Wow. The view is incredible. But its not australia i cant feel the hot wind or hear any animals. I travel to the all goes almost 20 years ago we spent many a night out in the open it was a journey outside of my comfort zone and one on never forget it was hot and not all the animals were friendly you can ever have virtual experiences like that ok i need. We mostly experience things with our eyes and ears you have no sense of touch or temperature here to include all the senses youd need to wear special equipment like a davis suit data gloves and lots of cables thats not what were aiming for and its not really available yet anyway because it is but Virtual Reality does make more extreme traveling possible i can take a drive on the moon for example or i can climb Mount Everest things i could never do in real life. In the gaming industry as a cussing and shit Virtual Reality towards in one game well traveler my avatar randomly land somewhere on the planet its my job is to figure out where i am. The Tourism Industry hardly uses Virtual Reality as a tool but its teeming with other problems at the moment due to the coronavirus pandemic and the other problems lie ahead technology is moving forward at the rapid pace many believe that in the not too distant future search will johnnies will become competition for tourism and the real world. We can get in the next 510 or 20 years or we will have Virtual Worlds that you wont be able to distinguish from real live at least in terms of sound insight as much so that means well have to develop a new sense to know if somethings real or not exactly. Its interesting ethically i mean i always have to tell people that the reality is virtual real and were always having problems like that today i cant tell if the nooses fake or a photos have been retouched and v. R. Technologies of the future will bring that to a whole new level. Mixing up reality that wont happen to me its easy for me to tell that this journey is virtual its great but i feel sick now i need a break. Sometimes your movement in the real world doesnt match what youre experiencing in the Virtual World it can lead to a conflict of the senses youre visually experiencing Something Different than the body is and it can lead to feeling a bit queasy that was exciting but id rather travel in the real world this year im going to go on a bike tour its good for social distancing and good for the environment. Is no argument about whether its real or virtual i really do miss a stranger right now nice to share this space with you though today at a safe distance of course and weve always had a protective screen between us.
