and want to like with stop motion using thousands of photos. their lovingly created by alexandro kruger take it felt the twenty five year old swede is currently working on the stage for the year old vision song contest twenty eight. in the beginning i was ten yes and this is one of my way of bringing your vision home to me because i was too far to go as a ten year old so that was very reason this thought in the beginning but the reason that i'm keeping up with it is just because it's fun to create your own well and to you know make a movie out of it but. he uses special lego software to plan the stage components and create the entire virtual model.

for larger sections he works with a graphics program it's fairly straightforward one pixel on the screen stands for one lego brick. this year the song contest organizers even provided him with the plan of the venue in lisbon along with other images alexandra configures the lego version himself and there's one particularly tricky challenge to master. these both that i'm doing right now they're going to go back to health age up and around in the air and then they're in no position to what to call angle with well and that's really hard because they're really big they're even bigger than the actual stage here so that's the big challenge the main challenge. it's a labor of love and one that takes up a considerable amount of leisure time he's been working on the new model since september it will ultimately incorporate one hundred fifty thousand bricks he has

his own system for calculating the number of required. three dots like this would in reality be a metre so if i know that these it's about i think this is forty two metres in reality this bow out here and then i know it's supposed to be round and then i need as many of the days as a man and i can count that in my hand. alexandra kruger david felt lived in the quiet swedish town. he buys his lego bricks online from specialized dealers he visits a local boy store to check out the latest sets i learn different ways to solve problems in our lightning round the way you can going to invite as a way to get around and also a very small thing in our bearing turning my. back in his workshop it's time to add

the audience which will. cries all manner of toy figures not just like old people anything else would be too boring for alexandros. i've thought about it at the time and thought of fun you know because i don't imagine i know what you have like this in you know when and it may go well but it's like your vision crowd you know everybody's different you know good evening but their grand final battle cry to keep. the video for the twenty seventeen year old vision is alexandra kirk great to get those personal favorites the model for the twenty eight hundred will probably be finished by july video production will then last until december shot at twenty four photos per second for a five minute film that translates into seven thousand two hundred images so for the next few months the young creator will be spending hundreds of hours in his little lego workshop.

hungry for sports we've been presenting you some weird and wonderful athletic activities today's discipline is probably the most extreme of extreme sports a so-called wingsuit allows adrenaline junkies to soar pasta mountain peaks it's pretty much the closest man can come to flying like a boat we caught up with some dead devils in switzerland who showed us how it's done. once we have. images that take your breath away high up in the swiss alps on punch on a dell must go north of the condo wingsuit pilots meet regularly to plunge off cliffs in their path like suits in everyday life they may be banged his nurses oh i see specialists but in their free time they want an adrenaline rush here with the about ten or fifteen other friends from all over the world and it's really cool cause we never really get an opportunity like this so i'll jump together that's

really cool be able to share this experience the everyone. wins since have fabric under the arms and between the legs when the planet fools this extra fabric acts as wings when supine it springs through the air and up to two hundred fifty kilometers an hour and extreme experience that many find addictive. feeling these days happiness for me at least a draft on a nice jump if i'm really really happy and fulfilled and that's the main reason why i do this you can even put words to how good it feels to try to explain it to my friends and i say it feels like you're falling in love every time you make it. and brennan is well known in the ways it seems she's won many competitions the others here on picket is either glowing in a wing suit because instruction and training a false move can result in a deadly accident. one hundred forty two wings two pilots have been killed since

this extreme sports became popular at the beginning of the century. but many fans say the risk is possibly kick. obviously we all know that there are risks booked the reward is so much higher that we are willing to take the risks we take these risks because. yeah it's an incredible feeling when you when you can control your body and your wing suit and fly where you want. when you see today stumping for many it's the ultimate sports but i just feel that it's even the highest flying cost to come back to. how many musicians tool all around the world and standing audiences with their concerts but hey we have to call does something slightly different he's a professor of music at the university of minnesota here in germany and delivers

piano lessons all over the globe but from the comfort of his own home it's his aim to support talented musicians who don't have the means or access to quality teachers he helps them out for free via video call. not many sixteen year olds play the piano this well. actually comes from india even plays by heart. as i memorize everything each of the concerts i play i memorize i find it more comfortable for me if i let memorize and perform without discourse i feel like i can come in a cave more and more fly music towards the audience. in february twenty eighth

million performed a concert at the colegio music. western germany. now he's back home in southern india over seven thousand kilometers away from his piano teacher had a bad cough they do have been working together for six years now mostly on line. with did you. like it. that was. just for being with us all sometimes the connection is so bad that you can only hear clearly in certain musical situations of often times as soon as you start playing quickly and loudly the sound is so distorted that you can't hear the fine the nuances of the written notes where even the right ones will be good but. european classical music is not widely known in india. and was nine when he first

heard it and was immediately captivated. the first he taught himself how to play then when he was ten he set out to find a teacher and discovered everybody called the internet. like. yes. yes. yes. over an area red cross house another piano student who started work but you want to muddy cheap comforters covered her head an international piano competition in her native kosovo. no she's studying under him at the university of minnesota.

some phenomenon he has to nominate. i've learned so many things. anyone who studies with him learn so much. often he writes young talented musicians from abroad they stay with host families sixteen year old eva hails from albania she's one of many outstanding musicians called mentors in his free time. home. why do i do it this is my life want to says if it gives me joy and fulfillment it's interesting and exciting that's why i do it. because so much to us there's a. twist. that's why i've chosen to live this way and when it comes down to which student i specifically work with i don't choose by who can afford what but who can

and wants to achieve something slice and by what inspires me makes me happy. and what's worth the effort. and as a feature is regularly on the juries of international music competitions and about coffee is sure to discover many more talented students in the future to. now it's time to tickle the taste buds with another installment of our series fifty kitchens one city where we present you our favorite restaurants in the german capital balance color is seen boasts a wide variety and today we're getting a taste of slovakia around one thousand four hundred slovaks live here and two of them opened a restaurant in twenty fourteen among the national delicacies they serve up is britain's ski so let's find out how that's made.

very few on the archive when i think of slovakia the first thing i think about is meeting old friends drinking some nice wine somewhere outside under trees from fine . points of playing and if i'm really lucky even with a view of the danube sign. of the door not. the clubs restaurant in berlin it's also supposed to be a place you'd like to come back to located in the basement of an apartment house it's just a room with a large table and a clear concept not a typical restaurant but a meeting place. five evenings a week from them along and still be open to rover welcome that guests here they want to bring people sometime strangers together at one table with good food and wine. every week they offer different three course menu.

plots. that stuff is actually a space where time is of importance. i guess that is our real concept that side for in a time when much of life is two dimensional via mobile phones and screens and everything has to go very fast as. we try to create a tranquil environment. all stick but. right the whole thing slow it down. said that people not only come here to consume but to reconnect with themselves. to cooks prepare slow food source during greetings from small producers they know personally. they find it important to know exactly where the parties come from. they buy much of it directly in slovakia or in the area surrounding berlin. and all the wines offered here are made

without additives all the use of the leverage technology. sometimes the goods like crazy for to play the. notes what did you. spend this for i saw over the edges of the way of the big. days to me every three days and there's certainly more personal than your journey because normally are just coming going something sitting in there and you don't have any relationship to the place but here you really know this relationship. is very nice distancing in this is the only place in berlin where i really like to go regularly . back years national dish is sheep's cheese dumplings. so back cuisine is simple and hearty. it features a bunch of potatoes meat dole and dairy products. one

specialty is a sheep's cheese called. it is made from sheep's milk and can only be produced in slovakia. many slovak dishes are influenced by the cuisine of neighboring countries. their cuisine is very close to nature and it's very different in the north of the country than in the south as are all the seedling. i'm not in the north they're more recipes with potatoes with cheese and meat as a side dish and flies out of by live here and in the south they're more vegetables and meat dishes. and slice. sylvia

into robot was born in one thousand nine hundred six in bratislava slovakia and grew up there just like from the monarch. bunda has lived in berlin since two thousand they first met in slovakia and soon realized that they had similar childhood experiences both enjoyed cooking early on and spent a lot of time in the kitchen. and it's been preserved. i grew up with my grandmother. and spits in the hand instead of playing with toys. i grew up playing with joe. so the kitchen was practically my play room and i think sylvia grew up in a similar way. in this. the two slovak women live and work in quites back in the heart of berlin a district where many different cultures come together. they open their restaurant here in twenty fourteen. the name is also

intended as an invitation to get to know slovak hospitality. is something about these women are. going to have the had long as all the angles lining call them on the words. that's all from us for today i hope you enjoyed the show you can stay in touch with all things your marks on our website. dot com slash lifestyle and follow us on facebook and instagram d w your max we're back tomorrow with the highlights of the week bye bye for now. next time and your show with swedish pop band about making a virtual comeback. we take a look at meghan marcos european britain. under explore all the greek capital
