Sci-Fi-London – Tuesday 26 April 2011, 6:30PM

I am currently working as the cinematographer on the feature film concept Earth 2.0. We have been working on the promo now for some time. Director/Producer, Frank Da Silva has been conceptualizing the the ideas and cracking down hard on getting people involved on both the creative and funding side of things. Simon G. Powell has been working hard on the script whilst Mark Raimondeau has been working on some amazing CGI.

We spent a couple of days in the Waterloo Film studios, shooting the characters chosen to represent the ideas behind Earth 2.0 and then went to the streets of london, to shoot some exiting cut away footage.

We are having a screening on the 26 April 2011, at the Apollo theater in London where we will have potential investors and film makers coming to screen our promo.

The Earth 2.0 promo will be up soon so Keep an Eye open,

Earth 2.0 is an ambitious wide-ranging media project that champions the transition towards sustainability that humanity is now being forced to make.

With our current way of life pushing the planet to breaking point, how do we design a sustainable future for seven billion people? How do we upgrade from an ecologically destructive Earth 1.0 way of life to an eco-friendly Earth 2.0 way of life? What technological changes and value changes do we have to make?

The Earth 2.0 project explores these issues and aims to promote inspiring solutions through a combination of art, science and innovative CGI.

We have an expert panel from the project and will show the short film Earth 2.0 – Initialization, set in the Hub, a kind of technologically recast axis mundi, a modern high-tech oracle, where a new sustainable way of life can be formulated. The film comes in advance of a planned feature length documentary and introduces an eclectic ensemble of Earth 2.0 presenters.
