Earth in 100 Seconds - crowdfunder open

Daniel Raven Ellison has previously behind the making of a number of films, including:

The UK in 100 Seconds - narrated by the late Benjamin Zephaniah

The UK National Parks in 100 Seconds - narrated by Cerys Matthews

The Netherlands in 100 Seconds

See them here.


He is now planning to release his latest film.


Of the UK film, Dan said:

"I don’t think anyone really has a clue what Britain actually looks like. It's just too big and complicated for us to get a proper sense of proportion. And that’s a problem when people are making decisions about how we feed ourselves or how much more affordable housing we can build. Or, crucially, how much more space for nature we can have. If we don’t have a proper sense of what the country looks like then how can we fix our problems?"

His latest film is going to be his 'largest' yet: The Earth in 100 Seconds'.

Here's a preview:


What are we using planet Earth for? 
Each second of this film reveals 1% of land and how we're using it. Following on from the UK in 100 Seconds, UK National Parks in 100 Seconds and the Netherlands in 100 Seconds - watch this preview of Earth in 100 Seconds! Coming out in 2025, back the crowdfunding campaign so more people see it and get your name on the credits.

From family shoppers and geography teachers to national policy-makers, we want as many people as possible to watch this film so they can make better decisions for life on Earth.

You can help by backing this project.

The no-budget film has been made by a small pro-bono and volunteer team. 

All of your donation will be invested in boosting the number of people who see Earth in 100 Seconds - at festivals, events and online.

Once released, it will be free for anyone to watch or show the film, but we need your help to promote it.

Landscape ideas...

Some nice ideas for exploring the rural landscape from FACE. Some from my GA colleague Paula Owens here. Go HERE to download your own copy.

Making Space for Sand

  Making Space for Sand is a project I was made aware of recently. The ‘Building Community Resilience on a Dynamic Coastline by Making Space for Sand’ project (also known as Making Space for Sand or MS4S) is one of 25 national projects funded by DEFRA as part of the £200 million Flood and Coastal Innovation Programme (FCRIP).  The programme will drive innovation in flood and coastal resilience and adaptation to a changing climate. The project website has an excellent section outlining the formation of Sand Dunes, particularly within the located context of Cornwall. Sand Dunes are an important part of the coastal defences in the locations where they are found. I am particularly familiar with the dunes on the North Norfolk Coast at places like Holkham.  I've previously carried out fieldwork on those dunes with both GCSE and 'A' level students, and also  Atkins has provided GIS support and created some visualisations of future landscapes.

Landscape in a Box - more student examples

Thanks to Jack Marsh for sending me some examples of 'landscapes in a box '. Landscapes in a box is one of the ideas that seems to have gone down the best of the things that I've shared over the years. The basic idea is to create a landscape within a box, perhaps a burger box (but could also be a shoe box) This was featured in 'Teaching Geography' in 2009. Jack used the activity with his groups, and has sent me three excellent images of contrasting images from the students: an Antarctic scene, New York's Central Park, and Paris... Outstanding work !! If you've used Landscape in a Box, why not share your students' work too...
