02. The Innovation Series: Autonomous Animation



A TAXONOMY TOUR
At Soul Machines we’ve built the world’s first digital brain to autonomously animate digital characters in real-time. We believe our industry needs a clear taxonomy for autonomous animation to differentiate between the real and the fake. Join us as we take you on a level by level exploration of this taxonomy and how our state-of-the-art approach to animation is on an exciting trajectory that will reach far higher levels than any other technology company.

How green energy will change our future — Docu



How will green energy change our future? What will our future look like with green energy? The growth of green energy goes together with change. Our future will not only include green energy, but our future will also be shaped by it.
What will the future sustainable world look like? That is the big question, now that the global transition towards sustainable energy is gaining momentum. For the growth of sustainable energy involves a lot more changes than just the color of the power supplied to our homes. How will we build, how will our mobility be impacted, and will energy, one day, be free? Just like the Internet turned out to have an unforeseen influence on all kinds of industries, from music to taxi businesses, the transition towards sustainable energy will also rise beyond the energy sector. And with a much wider impact than is now assumed. But we know surprisingly little about what that world will look like, and how the people in it will live, work and move around. Expectations are that, by the 2050s, two-thirds of the electricity generated globally will be sustainable.
The Netherlands is ambitious too. But what kind of world are we heading for, really, with all these sustainable measures? In partial areas, the future is clear: a massive stop to the use of gas, lots of windmills and solar panels, and perhaps a self-driving car outside. But, for now, there is no wider vision of what the sustainable new world will look like. What will the world be like once energy has become practically free? What will the impact of the transition towards sustainable energy be on the balance of power in the world?
A journey along places where the sustainable future is already (nearly) visible. In China, for example, old collapsed coal mines are given a new destination as solar parks. In Denmark, the power plants of the future also serve as skiing slopes. And in Malmö, Sweden, new leases are signed with green fingers.

RENEWABLE vs NON-RENEWABLE — Steve Trash Science



This is an EARLY VERSION of STEVE TRASH SCIENCE. We wrote, shot, edited it to show PROOF OF CONCEPT. This means, you have to «make it» before people can truly understand what you're GONNA MAKE. We learned a lot from shooting this episode. Frankly… we got better the more we worked on it. As we got closer to the PBS TV version of the show (check you local listings for times), we changed quite a few things, but I think this episode stands up. Remember… this is kinda-like a FIRST DRAFT… so keep that in mind when watching. What's the difference between a renewable and non-renewable resource? In the latest episode of STEVE TRASH SCIENCE… we break it down for you in FUN and FUNNY ways! What makes a resource renewable? Is the SUN renewable? What makes a resource non-renewable? How fast can Steve disappear into an ikky-fake-video-swamp? In this short 13 minute long video we answer all these burning questions of science. STEAM and STEM correlated, this video is fun and funny. Primarily focused on grades 1-5, this video was created to supplement «in classroom» resource learning.
By the way, the entire series is viewable on the PBS site. All topics are curriculum based. Here's the link. www.pbs.org/show/steve-trash-science/
Enjoy. Check it out! Also… it's very helpful if you share. Music is either original or licensed from Audioblocks.

How Tesla Battery Farms Changed the Lives of Australians



Elon Musk's Battery farm has been life changing for the people from South Australia. Before there used to be frequent power cuts not to mention high electricity prices. But how can a nation that has one of the highest reserves of Coal and Natural gas still struggle to provide its people Electricity.
The problem was exacerbated by the Gale winds which damaged the already frail infrastructure of South Australia. Tesla's Powerwall and Battery Storage Solutions came to the rescue of South Australians.
In this video we take a look at how Elon Musk's Battery farms changed the World in terms of renewable energy storage solutions and how countries are slowly moving towards clean Energy.

Why renewables can’t save the planet | Michael Shellenberger | TEDxDanubia



Environmentalists have long promoted renewable energy sources like solar panels and wind farms to save the climate. But what about when those technologies destroy the environment? In this provocative talk, Time Magazine “Hero of the Environment” and energy expert, Michael Shellenberger explains why solar and wind farms require so much land for mining and energy production, and an alternative path to saving both the climate and the natural environment. Michael Shellenberger is a Time Magazine Hero of the Environment and President of Environmental Progress, a research and policy organization. A lifelong environmentalist, Michael changed his mind about nuclear energy and has helped save enough nuclear reactors to prevent an increase in carbon emissions equivalent to adding more than 10 million cars to the road. He lives in Berkeley, California. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Can 100% renewable energy power the world? — Federico Rosei and Renzo Rosei

Every year, the world uses 35 billion barrels of oil. This massive scale of fossil fuel dependence pollutes the earth, and it won’t last forever. On the other hand, we have abundant sun, water and wind, which are all renewable energy sources. So why don’t we exchange our fossil fuel dependence for an existence based only on renewables? Federico Rosei and Renzo Rosei describe the challenges.
