There are some brands have had creative executions that have been nice the. Kentucky fried chicken. Is probably not as deprived. In the United StatesDigital Advertising spending has dropped by a 3rd traditional media. But. Its right now ill try to about messaging to let people know whether or not. Still operates. They can still Work Together and they sort of adapt to the current situation. Youre even now you. First. Television. Today hand sanitizers are the rage. Of life with the coronavirus. 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 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 about 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 a crime series when the murderer cant actually lay hands on a victim because of social distancing some productions have started filming again but as i found out under very different circumstances. It is totally bizarre. Thats not stabbing no strangling no fistfight. Theres no handcuffing. Me it is all quiet i mean its its a crime mystery. Scenario where nobodys actually getting closer than 150 my name is always chara im a screenwriter and i live in berlin. So theres a scene from a precursor on a script. 986 in west and i go to the morning sun blazing 10 rebels a menorah on the back of a truck squeezed in between the big wooden crates nora tries hard to avoid body contact not shots at skin on skin everyone sweating heavily for one of these men going to do to her. And now this is a corona script. Lives because you 1020 this steel door opening with a metallic screech you see andre and 6 feet behind him richie pointing a rifle at andreas 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 way even the killer keeps his distance for instance. With a long shot gun or poisoning our 2nd but whatever i think im going to err oh yes creatively its been quite a challenge and it will be a challenge. As that line of kissing her. Film said usually are just buzzing with people running around each other stumbling into each other keep their distance check right. Thing is very physical and includes working together closely with other people literally closely thats not possible anymore and its on the present. How to live on a rudolph i played avi wagner in red roses and painted. Can you see. Can you see. The rest your father told me i said women 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 appreciating remove your masks 10 minute break get some fresh air. When i was getting the get a young boy ive been playing thomas young son for 14 years in new book is 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 stripping him of so it startles you and totally throws you off yeah that was too close in sanaa and im eddie im the floor manager but they call me yardstick ged it. Was 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 yes but the problem is that we have to completely rethink our usual routines filming has totally changed just because i was there to toughen up this is totally unexpected gretas. What should takes longer. And it costs more in part to go in 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 manage and director of serial drama. I cant i cant make movies without insurance and a pandemic like over 19 is not insured exacts a risk to get something we have to discuss with clients and more importantly with policymakers hopefully will soon be at least partially insured. Is it worth taking that risk at the end of the day. Yeah totally theres no sense of not filming you have to do it differently on taking every single project into account on an individual basis i can stand 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 vs vertonghen invasion 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 us when i dont think anyone will notice the difference so even airbrushed out the plexiglas during the kiss in a wedding scene no i dont think people will notice that it will look a bit awkward people will move on quickly let us get there are 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. Mange is that 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. Running 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 the audience imagine a sex scene with another to believe anything close to it. Thats a lot of work for me to you know to create. 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. You know its kind of weird specially if its an emotional moment and you usually embrace someone or a love scene like here seen here shut up i want to sleep. Take lights out were just glad to be filming again being in the process every day makes me realize again and again how how serious the entire situation it seemed i dont think people gets 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. Be about at 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 the viewer get. A very distanced one is the best product 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 they are 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 meter is for strangers. And more than 4 meters for interacting with a bigger group loads of the generally accepted social parameters here in europe and 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 most 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 corona types which is why dr ian movies are enjoying a revival. With protests and Creative Ideas event organizers are fighting for their very livelihood so. This is kevin park and christiane boozes new Office Parking lot near berlin so many big stadiums on they lost their jobs in the Coronavirus Crisis but they werent willing to sit back and let things happen. This is also you have to always be at festivals and concerts setting up the deal was operating camera and video technology. 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. A day drive in movies everyone sits in their cars so we file the application and. The formalities were tough but we were tougher. And 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. With nothing and after the film theyll 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 what. The drive in aims to please. And save jobs was and it was one of the only firms that hasnt fired people in the crisis in. Stead 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 and long struggles its because this. Indoor 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 i. Imagine i think maybe because 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. Somehow life must go on give us momma 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. With them is one of those and its a sign that cinema isnt dead and that we need to support it in any way possible so we ran out of meaningful 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. So i feel. The film man from beirut tells the story of a blind hitman and follows his heart. Some of the stories was the result of this was a little bit serious a little. Art 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. About one of the good thing about this business is were used to react too quickly and we use just 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 our work. But what happens in the winter in the office theyre making plans. Will 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 a frightening 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 aquaculture. Is the fastest the easiest and the simplest we to apply chemicals. This is the capital of ghana 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. C. E. O. Edam ave megan is preparing for the firms next job. So im just 2nd knows this is such i did a part of the doing sprinkling of the care because i know liquid gold what their weight is they want to apply on the farm. The Coronavirus Crisis has turned his drone business on its head there was a nice not disinfection exercise where the government contracted us in but not shipped with to my own to spray my kids. So advanced playgrounds we had our jobs to do. In outside gun us so we got that problem in the ivory coast before the law down hopping and unfortunately for us there but they stopped and ill be all out that was this ascot and i because when they were to come to raise a queue that growth 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 not very stable for some time to book for new and in appreciative difficult of 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 bobby o. Has had trouble finding workers in the pandemic so hes planning to use drones in the future. So they look down somewhere 3 so were able to commute from a couple to the farm so we missed a lot of spring time but. This right of over 1000 open up with a devoted drones. If they would to save the file my little time and what were going to put up with what time. This Service Costs around 20. 00 euros per hectare are 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 they do i also understand how did drawing for example would do their work effectively because for them gets in direct contact with air so is there much effect to we are that down there doing flying over i had to feel that the dream flying over i had cargo to do the application proper so its quite tedious if you own 5 minutes like david himself the average by the technology so its easy for asked 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 it an adequate substitute for the real thing. I think head 1st 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 and. Im back at the old as a rock formation in the australian outback. Or. The view is incredible. But its not australia i cant feel the hot wind or hear any animals. I travel to be 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. To know we mostly experience things with our eyes and ears you have no sense of touch or temperature to include all the senses youd need to wear special equipment like a data 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 is at the cutting edge of Virtual Reality towards in one game well traveler my avatar randomly land somewhere on the planet my job is to figure out where i am. The Tourism Industry hardly uses Virtual Reality a tool for that stealing with other problems at the moment due to the coronavirus pandemic and the other problems lie ahead technology is meeting forward and of rapid pace many believe that in the not too distant future johnnies will become competition for tourism and the real wild. Card in the next 510 or 20 years will have Virtual Worlds that you wont be able to distinguish from real life at least in terms of sound insight as much so that means well have to develop a new sense to know if somethings real not exactly and its interesting ethically i may 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 we are technologies of the future will bring that to a whole new level. Mixing up realities 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.
