Uwe Reuter replied to Hatem El-Sayed
@HatemEl-Sayed "Can I, if I were a filmmaker, tell a "story" in a minute-and-half "very short" film ?" Yes, you can. Advertising often does. Because every second of advertising costs a lot of money, they have to get their message across in a short amount of time. And sometimes they wrap their messages in stories.
My absolute favorite example is a Christmas... -

I've always wondered about the difference between film and movie, because in Germany we actually only know one word for both: film!

to read = to understand the meaning.
By the way, we also speaks of reading traces when you see an animal trail and want to assign it to the respective animal. Was that a stupid example now? -
Uwe Reuter made a comment
if there isn't as much dancing at rock concerts, is it perhaps because the audience is older these days and less mobile?

Uwe Reuter made a comment
My neighboring town Mühldorf comes to mind (South-Germany). There the town square is surrounded by two rows of houses. The pedestrian path along these rows of houses leads through an arcade. So you can get from shop to shop in the rain without getting your feet wet or stay in the shade in the summer midday heat. Due to these arcades, Mühldorf also has a...

Yes, unfortunately. It's still so stiff in classical concerts in Germany, too.

I move, therefore I am. That's why I love music, because then I can't help but move. I am from Germany and am currently involved in filmmaking. And music (and soundscapes) is a very important part of moving the audience. In a figurative sense. Why is that? Because of that, I'm here.

Wind protection, maximum access to sunshine and what to do with the snow - I would never have thought of these questions myself.

Basel in Switzerland: This city looks like a big city with a small town character. Lots of museums, lots of shops and bars, cinemas, a zoo, pedestrian zones - and everything in close proximity to one another. The most attractive, however, are three things: Probably the world's best local transport system. Each line runs every 10 minutes, connecting all...

Interesting point. In Berlin (Germany), with the construction of the old city palace from 1443, which was blown up by the GDR government in 1950, an attempt was made to completely revive an old cultural heritage. As a part of the Berlin identity. The building was very, very expensive to build, but it was very important to the population.

Uwe Reuter made a comment
I still have problems with the term "compact city". Is a city with high building density really worth striving for? Do we not build a city - as we would say in Germany - only with enough "air" in between, that is, with a lot of free space, really worth living in?

As a biodiversity ambassador, I am always on the lookout for interesting topics that I can use in environmental communication. People and urban spaces, designed to be sustainable, that sounds really exciting. Because of that, I'm here. By the way, I'm from Germany
-
Uwe Reuter replied to Uwe Reuter
@IanWall Thank you. Now I understand.
-
I think you also need a certain large number of people who have to watch the film first so that they can tell others about it. So I believe that marketability plays a more important role, especially for blockbusters. It's always the first few weeks that bring big money here.

"May the force be with you" - This is the first sentence that came to mind when the question above was asked and I hope that the force will be with me in this course. I´m from Germany and do this course with my 13-year-old daughter Annika, because we both have already done some small film projects. Now we hope for something bigger.

@GrahamBennett Yes, Graham, if you also look for information on lobbyists' websites, you naturally get a shifted view of the world. You have often been asked in other courses why you even take part in these courses, when you always have the opposite opinion and deny climate change? Or am I misinterpreting you and you would actually like to encourage us to...

The weather was now too uncomfortable for me to go out with the recording device, so I rummaged through my old recordings and just did a crossover colage. By the way, it was fun. Recorded with ZOOM H2n and mixed with Fairlight in DaVinci Resolve 16

The last of the Mohicans - here is a song in two versions: "The Kiss" and "Pomentory". The music lives from the different rhythms of the individual instruments. A dragging drum beat as an introduction, then a hurrying violin which is finally opposed by an extremely slow and penetrating bass line. In The Kiss, two people love each other while the cannonballs...

it's funny, I used the Sony PD 150 and had the same problem with the wrist strap, which I also removed. And instead of a pistol grip, I'd used a steady stick. It was something like a monopod with a handle on it. With it you could make much better camera movements without the viewer getting dizzy later. Nowadays the technology is much more mature (and also...

Curiosity! This is my mainspring that has always steered me through life. This is not my first class with Tim Lenton. Every single one was fascinating and: makes me even more curious. I come from southern Germany near the Alps and I am also looking forward to getting to know a lot of new things here.

Does this page even belong to this course?

Uwe Reuter made a comment
Only when everything in class suddenly becomes "digital" will the students not automatically become smarter. Digital, including online, is just a tool that, like all tools, must be used correctly in order to achieve a successful result. So you have to be able to use the tool, otherwise it doesn't work.
-
Uwe Reuter made a comment
Above all, I find the possibilities that virtual reality would offer fascinating. Here, the students could immerse themselves in a living story and travel to places that would otherwise never be reached.

Uwe Reuter replied to Caroline P.
Well, that doesn't really help because the virus was not transmitted directly from bats, but with the help of a vector, another animal. So we should rather make sure that nature, and especially biodiversity, remains intact. For example, what does a pangolin, the putative vector for the current coronavirus, have to do in China?

How is life related and how is it interdependent? These are the questions that I want to get to the bottom of as a biodiversity ambassador. I come from Germany, I am a journalist and PR consultant and I give lectures - especially in schools - "how do I prevent the 6th extinction wave". In other words, why is biodiversity so important. Yes, for that I need a...

Uff, done! The test had a few tricky questions.
That was one of the most impressive MOOC I have ever visited. Thanks to @DavidRothery and all other mentors and participants who prepared and supervised this MOOC for letting me be there.

We are already talking about artificial intelligence and have difficulty defining what life actually means. In the 80s, when I spent the nights more in the disco at the weekend than in bed at home, I sometimes asked myself the question: If now an alien lands on earth and his first view would be in the disco. What would he find? People who jump uncontrollably...

@JohnReid It's brilliant!

It was difficult for me to understand now about the protons. Our chemistry class at that time was always canceled for two years. The first teacher died suddenly and the second teacher had a heart attack and has therefore been absent for a very long time. And the substitute teachers never went deep. Maybe that's why I always saw chemistry as a dangerous job?...
-
Yes, just imagine that. Maybe I'll make a funny drawing there ;-)

@GeoffBurt How much fuel would they save if they could use the water on the moon? And how much water would they have to mine on the moon?

Why do you think that? Isn't the moon constantly struck by something?

I'm just imagining I'm a geologist. And then I stand here in front of this rock, as can be seen in the picture. On the moon! Wow, what an overwhelming feeling that must be. And then to know that the rock is possibly 4.4 billion years old. - I think I would go crazy.

What is meant by "virtually no atmosphere". Is there a hint of a bit of atmosphere or did I just translate the "virtually" incorrectly to my languare?

When I showed my wife a picture of Phobos and asked her if she noticed anything, she said only very dryly: "Yes, the grinding marks from a spaceship after a failed landing".

A similar picture can be found in Europe, more precisely in Sweden, Dalarna, with Lake Siljan (and others - the Siljansringen). A meterorit fell here 365 years ago and created a 52km -diameter crater. Here too, the erosion has blurred a lot.
