The Electric Move - Vancouver Film School (VFS)

[lacqueredhearts]

This was very well done, had a realistic feel to it with some nice cinematography. I liked how they didn't try to do anything flashy. The opening title screen with the electric effects were really nice and fitting too.

[niiicest]

Very well done guys! Great topic :):)

[wanttodormir]

People still walk. Take a look to other parts of the world.

[theschnitter]

but not walking from Spain to Germany just to visit a good Friend. If man walkes such a distance today then just as test for them selfs or make a pilgrimage. Not for the reason that theirs no other way to get that distance.

[wanttodormir]

@theschnitter Of course ¬¬. You know what I mean.

[theschnitter]

yeah but that is what the interviewed meant .. the people dont have to walk for long distances ok .. the USA would be a bad example because they do everything with the car... bad habbit guys

Dont know how the canadians are..

[wanttodormir]

ok you are right...

[betoxxx34]

nice

[Parley454]

A hybrid electric for around town, and then runs on algae for longer trips would be good.

Well made documentary!

I believe the future is in hydrogen cars where the hydrogen is isolated with the use of electricity from nuclear power and hydroelectric power. Purely electric cars will also play a part, but mostly for they small daily commutes, shopping, etc.

[henkvandervelden]

Guys, check the Rule of thirds when you're filming. Nice information though :)

[NobleValerian]

That's for photography... not to say it isn't useful, but it's a principle for still images

[mrblondqc]

Which frame you think does not apply that rule?

[henkvandervelden]

Hehe creator himself?

Well the third guy is a lot lower than the guy before him, then you got Dunford in a close up right in the center of the screen with no look-space. Right after that a very tight close up on Epp, which is still pretty low.

At Holmquist there is just a really weird composition.

Don't get me wrong, it's a good video and it's interesting to watch, but it just struck me.

[mrblondqc]

Yes indeed,

I like constructive comments.

Thanks you for your time.

Great video, great topic.

On a side note what happens if your car runs out of electricity along the road side?

[Parley454]

They should create a spare battery or two that you can swap out or in.

[SkaraaBradock]

I believe that the hydrogen car is the actual future of transportation, seeing that using an electric car leaves a lot of used baterries behind. Also green energy sources are pretty ineficient. Nuclear power is the way to go.

[Reijerkolle]

A source of green energy is a natural moving force which we take advantage of, how can that be inefficient?

[SkaraaBradock]

I was reffering to the yield of fotovoltaic panels and windmills wich barely reaches 50%. While nuclear power has yields around 95 to 98 %. The only viable green energy at the moment is hidroelectric energy.

[NobleValerian]

Except photovoltaic cells take their energy from the Sun... which will probably be around for a while... I saw something about the Sun could provide so much energy in so much space for 30 seconds to power the planet for a year... I don't remember what it was... but it makes sense... it's the Sun after all...

[QuitePossiblyANinja]

hydrogen cars run at an efficiency of about 10%, while your regular gas car runs at around 25%. they need to improve the technology before it becomes feasible, and even then i doubt pumping all that water vapor into the air will be a good thing

[SkaraaBradock]

It's not my domain of expertise, although i did study internal combustion engines. But I think you're kind of downplaying the efficiency of the the engine. With new technologies I think they have yields of over 90%, because if they didn't have them by now the we would've switched to a different type of propulsion.

@NobleValerian - yeah but the problem is the conversion rate of photovoltaic cells. The Sun is a powerful fission reactor, but we have no way of capturing that energy, yet.

[chrispen9]

very cool documentary. You should put this up on CBC or CTV

[IsaacGolle]

Nice Vid! Could have used more shots that weren't just people talking though

[SBCentertainment]

WELL DONE, the set-up for this documentary is well laid out, and I give 5/5 for it. Bravo this should go onto BBC.

[mrblondqc]

Thank you I really appreciate you comment.
