11:31 pm
distancing will go so far as affecting what we see on our t.v. screens. in times of social distancing. there are some brands of have created executions that have been nice that's right pat kentucky fried chicken and it. is probably not. in the united states digital advertising spend has dropped by a 3rd traditional media. but. it's right now i'll try to messaging to let people. still operate saying. they
11:32 pm
can still work together and they. will. never feel or even now you. first. hand sanitizers are the rage. of life with the. a metre and a half or 6 feet if you're from the us i'm sick of hearing it i need a hug you know going to get that of work after wait for you get home if you've got someone at home to give you a hug that is all someone who's prepared to give you a hug or even
11:33 pm
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 they've 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 can't 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. there's no stabbing no strangling no fist fight. there's no handcuffing.
11:34 pm
me it is all quick i mean it's it's a crime mystery. scenario where nobody's actually getting closer than one meter in 50 my name is always child i'm a screenwriter and i live in berlin. so this is a scene from a precursor on a script. 986 in western gold the morning sun blazing 10 rebels and the north on the back of a truck squeezed in between the big wooden crates menorah tries hard to avoid body contact not shots its skin on skin everyone sweating heavily for one of these men going to do to her cool and now this is a corona script. leipzig a few 1000 funny the steel door opening with a metallic screech you see andre and 6 feet behind him richie pointing
11:35 pm
a rifle at andre's back richie follows him inside keeping a safe distance knowing that his hostage is much stronger than him they don't 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 shot gun or poisoning are sad but whatever i think i'm going to err oh yes creatively it's been quite a challenge and it will be a challenge. is that i know kissing her. the film said usually are just buzzing with people running around each other stumbling into each other keep your distance chakra. thing is very physical and includes working together closely with other people literally closely that's not possible anymore and it's on the present in the present how do i honor rudolph i
11:36 pm
played avi wagner in red rose this painting. you see here is. the rest you haven't told me i was in vietnam when you're acting you don't want to feel like you're on set and i'm set but this little voice in your head says keep your distance one and a half meters one and a half meters you're always aware that you're acting and that's a constraint. you're presenting remove your masks a 10 minute break get some fresh air oh. man i was getting the get a young boy i've been playing thomas young son for 14 years you new book is my home i want to stay here it's 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 i'm done shaking him until it startles you and totally throws you off yeah that was too close in sanaa and i'm
11:37 pm
eddie i'm the floor manager but they call me yards to get it. as i spent 80 percent of the day brandishing my yardstick constantly reminding people come on guys maintain a distance a bit off how do you know strong medicine the problem is that we have to completely rethink our usual routines filming has totally changed the story and so he was out there to talk to this is totally unexpected creatures. 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 ach i managing director of cereal drama. i can't you can't make movies without insurance and a pandemic like over 19 is not insured exacts a risk it's something we have to discuss with clients and more importantly with
11:38 pm
policymakers hopefully will soon be at least partially insured motorists is it worth taking that risk at the end of the day. yeah totally there's no sense in not filming you have to do it differently and taking every single project into account on an individual basis i stand behind my baton we've 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 virt via an invasion most contestants a lot of money is being put into the project that the audience doesn't see so the film will be more expensive and i will look cheap or probably even it as long as i don't think anyone will notice the difference and even airbrushed out the plexiglas during the kiss in a wedding scene no i don't think people will notice that it will look a bit awkward people will move on quickly get their tricks you can use in a way you set up cameras film is about creating allusions feel it was your own that
11:39 pm
sort. of thing is there anything you'd miss. yes physical contact i missed that some decision amend humans are social creatures and you always have the urge to shake someone's hand or hug a friend and that's not allowed that's a real pain this stuart maslow's. 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 don't need to options there's no sex obviously having the audience imagine a sex scene with another to believe anything close to it. that's a lot of work for me to you know to create a codified into some of the daily soaps even have improvements because you have to tell a love story in a different way for the 17th time it's been quite exciting and positive it was you know it was actually a creative challenge. but i wouldn't want to go on like this at my age it's better
11:40 pm
to do fewer sex scenes. it's kind of weird specially if it's an emotional moment and you usually embrace someone or a love scene like here use patience in here showed up i want to sleep. take lights out we're just glad to be filming again being in the process every day makes you realize again and again how serious the entire situation is you know i don't 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 it's who you are as a reassured that we're keeping our distance yes mom i will see about at some point it will just look awkward we could keep going on like this for another 3 or 4 weeks but then we'll have to return to normal otherwise it's just not credible anymore. otherwise what sort of products will if you will get. a very distanced one is
11:41 pm
the best product by a mile. some of us have always walked around like we're in a bubble totally unaware of anyone else around us it's nice people are finally realizing that they're not the only ones on this planet others with or without a pandemic and when it comes to social distancing well it's 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 a stranger. and more than 4 meters for interacting with a bigger group 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 we've got a lot more space and it's usually too hot to get too close anyway i always found sitting right next to a stranger in the dock in a cinema though
11:42 pm
a little unnerving and now it's a no go in karate types which is why drive in movies are enjoying a revival. with protests and creative ideas event organizers are fighting for their very livelihoods. this is kevan park and christiane boozes new office parking lot near berlin so many big stadiums and they lost their jobs in the coronavirus crisis but they weren't 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 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 we're always open to new things was that
11:43 pm
the 2 weeks it was a new anymore and we started to consider what we could do for. a 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 rona and it's 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 they'll go back on stage and do a q. and a and answer questions from the fans. complying with the coronavirus safety regulations shouldn't get in the way of moviegoers having a good time. says the service here is so sweet they will show when children come around selling ice cream we've brought her in provisions and we're really looking forward to. the
11:44 pm
drive and aims to please. and save jobs prison and we're one of the only firms that hasn't fired people in the crisis. stead we've hired close to 20 people fast sponsors already understood or given incredibly happy to be working again you can see the joy written all over our faces. stuck with because he's. 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 self-employed and now fear for their livelihoods. managed to make the pain of course we have a lot fewer commissions it's a difficult time for the industry right now a lot of the moment. i'm sure it's a tough situation because you've got to eat. i have a child to feed on or. somehow life must go on 5 i gave us
11:45 pm
mama i could start doing odd jobs and go on welfare but i've been self employed for 25 years i've 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 premiere with the actors and the director wasn't as glamorous as usual still the crew is happy. with what they have over this and it's a sign that cinema isn't dead and that we need to support it in any way possible. meaning 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 so if you have all. the film man from beirut tell us the story of a blind hitman and follows his heart. some of the stories was of
11:46 pm
his no this was service there is a little. art house film profits while cinema fans rejoice about the revival of drive ins and the organizers are happy that at least they're 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 we're used to react too quickly and we use just setting up and dismantling things fast so i'm quite confident we'll be able to use that strength to change things we can confide in the most important thing is that we're giving these people what they need every night though 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 they're making plans. think or something
11:47 pm
we'll 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 friday that's 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 prostate the easiest and simplest we to apply here 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
11:48 pm
farming for 2 years now the c.e.o. eat em ave made is preparing for the firm's next job. so i'm going to 2nd nose it was this is actually the part of the. sprinkling of the chemical liquid or what devices 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 nationally with whom i own to spray my kids. and so advanced playgrounds we had our jobs to do. in outside on us so we would drop in in the ivory coast before they logged on hopping and unfortunately for us there but they stopped and i'll be all optically says i stopped in i because when they were to come home to raise a cute. he and his team are now heading east to
11:49 pm
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 it's here is if i got i d.p.s. to stand down gaze and look very stable for sometimes you books and in appreciating difficult of course the g.p.s. system this is is not working very well so it's difficult to get application down for the few days that bobby o. has had trouble finding workers in the pandemic so he's planning to use drones in the future. so look down some with the brewery so we're 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
11:50 pm
a devoted drones. if they would to save the home a lot of time and do what we're going to this 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 doesn't need to hire anyone to do the spraying but it will take time for farmers here to accept and adopt the technology quite difficult getting them to embrace it and then to do i also understand how did draw on for example would do their work effectively because for them gets in direct contact with their soil is there much affects who we are that down there doing flying over i had to fear that their dream flying over i had cargo to do the opposite case and proper so is quite tedious if you in 5 minutes like david himself they offer it up by the technology so it's easier for us to call them the deciding factor will be
11:51 pm
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 there's 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 the chance to see lads afar i feel like myself well today's 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 i'm giving it a try. i've
11:52 pm
always travelled as a reporter but i've also travelled a lot in my free time i've backpacked through asia and australia. and i'm 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 so i'm going to take a trip in his virtual reality laboratory. at the touch of a button i can fly anywhere i desire automatically. i'm back at the old a rock formation in the australian outback. or. the view is incredible. but it's not australia i can't feel the hot wind or hear any animals. i travel to the all goes
11:53 pm
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't ever have virtual experiences like that or can you. we mostly experience things with our eyes and ears you have no sense of touch or temperature here to include all the senses you'd need to wear special equipment like your data suit data gloves and lots of cables that's not what we're aiming for and it's not really available yet anyway because. 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
11:54 pm
a cutscene manship 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. in the tourism industry hardly uses virtual reality a tool but it stealing with other problems at the moment due to the coronavirus pandemic and the other problems lie ahead technology is moving forward at a rapid pace many believe that in the not too distant future journeys will become competition for tourism and the real wild. card in the next 510 or 20 years will have virtual worlds that you won't be able to distinguish from real life at least in terms of sound inside as much so that means we'll have to develop a new sense to know if something's real not exactly and it's interesting ethically i may always have to tell people that the reality is virtual real and we're always
11:55 pm
having problems like that today i can't tell if the nooses fake or a photos have been retouched and b. are technologies of the future will bring that to a whole new level mixing up realities that won't happen to me it's easy for me to tell that this journey is virtual it's great but i feel sick now i need a break. sometimes your movement in the real world doesn't match what you're experiencing in the virtual world it can lead to a conflict of the senses you're visually experiencing something different than the body is and it can lead to a feeling a bit queasy that was exciting but i'd rather travel in the real world this year i'm going to go on a bike it's good for social distancing and good for the environment. is no argument about whether it's 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 we've always had a protective screen between us we knew it would become the preferred option to be
