action has been shut down for months there are no signs of major studios opening up again at least not around los angeles we all await the release of movies already finished like the latest james bond one that's just a matter of time but with very little in production the industry is in the biggest crisis it has ever faced film rocks from joins me after this. this is the closest deal gibson has been to action in a while attending the cattle on his ranch north of los angeles gibson has been a stunt man in hollywood for 35 years but coronavirus means there was barely any filming anymore so great is the risk of onset infections bringing expensive productions to a halt. and i haven't been on a movie set i don't know 56 months now it's been terrible all my friends are now what is working so we're very lucky to have this ranch and have a little my side income going on gibson has recently started giving rudy lessons

bring him back and also rent some stables but his future as a stunt man is uncertain hygene rules are currently being developed including a 2 week quarantine before filming begins but gibson is skeptical yeah there's a certain man fights are my bread and butter. firework mostly fights or or playing . ice specialize and save a few lines being a bad shot or being a cop or whatever but yeah you know it's all intimate and things are going to change. james bond him self has been thwarted by the virus no time to die is the name of his new adventure which never had the silver spoon in april no the crimea has been postponed indefinitely. the dream factory hollywood is in a deep sleep most of the shooting here has stopped. her in. 120000 people have

lost their jobs in the american family into the industries from like engineers to make up artist. sean pazin is the head of crimson studios more than 3700 square meters a current the unused normally production companies rent space and they are going to die lemme explains pazin it's a big gamble for them it's not insurable so either they hold and things fall apart in other ways or they jump in and they could be at risk financially by shutting certain productions down due to someone getting sick or a crew member getting everyone else on the crew sick and cast included so to me we're in a very big unknown that could be very very scary. like every crisis this one has a when animated films can be produced remotely and instead of going to the cinema a new sponsor ball will soon be arriving by

a screaming service in homes around the one. where 3 or the studios are filled and scott rocks. the production guy that said it's scary how scary is it have you ever known anything like this no not in my 20 some years of reporting on the film industry and really if you look back in the history of film industry there's nothing never anything like this i mean during world war 2 you know bombs were dropping in in berlin and dropping in in london and they were still making movies in those countries at that time there sold the cinemas are still open this type of complete shutdown has has never happened there's a real i think almost next essential threat to the film industry particularly in hollywood which because of the u.s. having problems dealing with the cold in 1000 pandemic haven't really been able to get started at all they. and the production that tries to get started is under the

risk that they could quickly be shut down and have to face that risk of locking everything down again so they can't shoot in hollywood or we're going elsewhere yeah it's funny you know i mean they used to be in hollywood that you depress the studio boss by telling him how big your box office was now you can impress them by telling them how small your covert $1000.00 infection rate is in your country so countries that have really dealt well with a pandemic they're really attracting big movies now to shoot there like new zealand which has been one of the countries that's been the best to dealing with the pandemic james cameron is right now in new zealand shooting for sequels to avatar his big hit from 200-1000 the big science fiction ahead now this is a massive you know the sequels are massive massive movies they're the kind of huge productions that could not be done in hollywood right now because it just would be safe so. new zealand because it's had such success in keeping its coded infection rate low are pretty in these type of movies because this is the only place they can shoot and i actually don't we have

a holywood star right now here in the you have been very very very most definitely definitely the most excellent canada reads is in the city because he's prepping to shoot a film matrix for another sequel to a big science fiction film it is going to be shooting in studio babbles we're just outside berlin and it's exactly a reason because germany has been very good at dealing with over 1000 pandemic was able to has been able to restart its production of course it's been done with a lot of safety procedures it's being done in a whole different way it's a lot more complicated i think a lot of film producers are having to really learn learn their craft or learn how to make movies in these new under these new conditions yeah yeah i was going to say i mean apart from different locations all we can to see movies make completely different they've got i think we're still in the midst of the producers are still in the midst of learning how to do this but i think what's definitely going to come is a lot more virtual production not just animation because that can be done at home and that's great for people at this moment but. production where actors are shot by

themselves maybe at home and then are brought together in one scene together virtually on a computer this is already being done it's done on the lot of big movies like avatar but i think it's going to come much more common in film production just because it can done be done safely i have to say though i think there's a limit to that because actors don't like performing that way i don't know any director who wants to direct his actors via video link so i think there is a limit to that but as long as this pandemic stays with us i think we're going to see a lot more of these type of innovative technological solutions very briefly we get these productions they get finished cinemas is still closed yeah yeah it's a huge problem one of these movies going to going to come out and can even come out in cinemas i mean you seeing some big movies like crystal and tennant that's going to come out in cinemas end of august here in europe and then september in the us so they're still counting on cinemas but everyone's worried if that these films are just going to go out online and if that happens i think it could really be almost

the end of cinema as we know it i mean this is going to run around we're going to be talking about to you about is a lot more in the future for now those refined here. to south africa which is experiencing very high rates of the coronavirus over $100000000.00 there are now infected in johannesburg top photographer jabulani dollar meenie is documented in the pandemic and with the help of the renowned goodman gallery they're auctioning off the resulting photos online the money made will help feed people who have lost their jobs or are unable to do the one column to earn any money. yohannes bergen in june of 2020 with his camera photographer. captures what covert 19 is meant for the people in his township we saw in march the south african government reacted to the looming hand demick with a strange and lockdown that had dramatic consequences for much of the population.

look at how it was as i recall and i think it's all one style of one i got caught in the knowledge of good luck. we must all show more humanity to each other as always many more stories on facebook and twitter they don't need culture that's all for now thanks for watching we're back at the same time so hard. to.
