this is the tinpot jazz orchestra. it lasts less than a minute, but it is a charming, glitchy, cartoon like production created using generative ai video tools. now, this means that the characters weren t designed by illustrators and animators. instead, they were described in english to an ai, which then created them itself. the film was made by william bartlett, who s a creative director from visual effects house framestore, and who, like a lot of generative ai creators at the moment, put it together in his spare time. it started off life as a test. and i wanted to do a test that was more elaborate than just a couple of shots. i wanted to try and string together something which had a bit of narrative to try and drive the kind of ambition of the shots. will actually had to use different generative ai tools for different parts of the process. first, he asked midjourney to come up with some still images of the kind of characters that he wanted. and so i might describe a sort of

of nature anywhere you want, we re currently at the camley street nature park here in the very heart of london. and now paul carter s taking the next step in floating solar farms. he s been to portugal to see the country s latest innovation. over the past two years, energy prices have soared to record levels, leading to some countries increasing their efforts to harness the potential of their available renewable power sources. blessed with its sunny climate, portugal is perfectly placed to accelerate its shift to solar. although you may not have seen a solar farm like this before. i m on the alqueva reservoir, in the south of the country, to see a solar array from a different perspective. it s the size of five football pitches and is home to more than 12,000 photovoltaic panels. so you d normally expect to see something like this taking up lots of space in a field. this is actually a floating
this is actually a floating solarfarm, and it s the largest of its kind in europe to be located on a reservoir. and it can generate enough electricity to power 1500 homes in the local area. and it s a pretty impressive sight. construction of the platform began in january 2022 and was finally moored in place five months later. byjuly, it was supplying power to a quarter of the population in the neighbouring portel and moura regions. with a price tag of 6 million euros, the solution isn t cheap, but energy firm edp estimates the solar farm will recoup its investment in a decade. but there s a particular reason why the solar farm was built at this spot. namely, its proximity to the alqueva dam. the hydroelectric plant only used one third of the capacity of the power line, so we have two thirds available.
