which of the corona damage. hollywood has never known anything like it but auction 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 laces james bond won and that's just a matter of toying but with very little in production the industry is in the biggest crisis it has ever faced film expert scott rock from joins me after this. this is the closest deal gibson has been to action in a while came in the catalogue on his ranch north of los angeles gibson has been a stunt man in hollywood for 35 years but coronavirus means there is barely any filming anymore so great is the risk of onset infections bringing expensive productions to a halt. i haven't been on a movie so 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 nice side income going on gibson has recently started getting rudy lessons bring him back and also rent some stables what 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 as a some man fights are my bread and butter. firework mostly fights or or plain. ice which specialize in saying a few lines being a bad guy getting shot or being a cop or whatever but yeah it's you know it's all intimate and things are going to change. james fall into self has been thwarted by the virus no time to die is the name of his new adventure which should have had the silver screen in april now that crimea has been postponed indefinitely. the dream factory hollywood is in

a deep sleep most of the shooting here has stopped. around 120000 people have lost their jobs in the american film and t.v. industries from light tension in years to me chapattis. sean pazin is the head of crimson studios more than 3700 square meters a current the unused normally production companies rent this space but they are in a dilemma explains. 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 2nd 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 window animated films can be produced remotely and instead of going to the sentiment and you spawn's paul will soon be arriving by a steaming service in homes around the one. ball. where 3 are the studios off man scott rocks. the production guy that said it's scary scary is it have you have an. 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 berlin and dropping in london and they were still making movies in those countries at that time there sold the cinemas were still open this type of complete shutdown has has never happened in the real i think almost next essential threat to the film industry particularly in hollywood

which because of the us having problems dealing with the code 19 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 the cops. are going elsewhere yeah it's funny you know i mean it used to be in hollywood that you depress the studio boss by telling them 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 at 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 i have 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 infection rate low or printing in these kind of movies because this is the only place they should and i actually don't we have a holywood star right now here and you have to move very very most definitely definitely the most excellent canada reads is in the city because he's prepping to shoot a film for another sequel to a big science fiction film it is going to be shooting in studio battles we're just outside berlin and its exact same. reason because germany has been very good at dealing with over 1000 pandemic so it's able to it's been able to restart its production of course it's being 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 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's been 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 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 though we get these productions they get finished but cinemas are 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've seen 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 is worried 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 of you. to south africa which is experiencing their e. high rates of the corona virus over $104000000.00 there are now infected in johannesburg top photographer jabulani dollar meenie is documenting 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 them one can turn anybody. yohannes bergen in june of 2020 with his camera photographer jabulani de la mina captures what coleridge 19 is meant for the people in his township so in march the

south african government reacted to the looming stand i think with a strange and lockdown that had dramatic consequences for much of the population. hardly anyone here in so wait till has a steady job on a regular income. took a thief this time you know what to freeze that experience i want people to undo even been years later it's a good to feel you move the people who few do and so we had to do with living their experiences during college meant. when he began his project didn't have a work permit. what he could do was drive his mother to work he shot his photos through the car window so the soldiers on patrol couldn't see him. there were also as it wouldn't work there. meaning is a successful photographer but he still firmly rooted in his township the people

here know and trust him. with the thought of this project exactly on the do of the looked at you. with more interested in to confuse the issue and one of the common problem is a lot of people don't have food and. some of them would ask me to boil them a lot of wheat and that made me to push in the middle with a photographer. and hence i decided to do an unknown exertion and with money from the sleeves only going to buy food for the people not have worked with other people one movie from this coming to the school they're making preparations for the online charity auction you want to be stupid too but also this one captures like the mood of the last day or 2 i called it is and it reflects that present and i so kind of a what people are feeling almost this is

a nice approach but let's see meanies photo series the every day waiting is being shown at the london branch of the goodman gallery ringback. we've already used up our savings and i can't go back home. other family members couldn't come to attend the funeral which is unusual in our culture. many dreamed of flying to london for the opening of his show there. instead he's driving to an ngo and so wait till to distribute food to needy children. for many youngsters whose parents now have no work this is often their only meal of the

day. via downtown yohannes berg he makes the 20 kilometer trip back to so way to go. back to where his career began as a street photographer who documented important events on his neighbor's behalf. for me and for her to feel like you know change it can influence change we used to talk of a starting point you know we look at those photographs and we start from there with we're having 12 truths problems sanitation schools housing just to mention a few we have a lot of problems i don't believe that we need to start picking up on. the lot meenie views his involvement as a bone to south africa's philosophy of showing humanity towards others and one of the ways to assure just giving back to community that you're working with i mean the 1st one is to cooperate and also to give back in terms of. giving back the

prince because in fact in the people that we work in we didn't need to be collectors for the work that we've created that's not just like you know there were going to bring us one only gets out doesn't have that well yes i say look at how it was as i call and i get it's all on one salon the one on i got called the knowledge of good luck. we must all show more humanity to each other as always many more stories on facebook and twitter at v.w. culture. thanks watching will be central to our.
