growth

from www.angryanimator.com, this is a section from the 3rd sequence of my resource depletion documentary, No Tomorrow?
It is based heavily on Professor Albert Bartlett's well known lecture, "Arithmetic, Population and Energy".
The voice track is a temporary synthetic one, and the narration is not the final version.
I hope to complete the film later in 2009, early 2010. Total runtime will be ~25 minutes.

Where did the bacteria get those bottles? And who was the bacterium that volunteered to go over to empty bottle number two all by himself? That bacterium had balls.

I used to work for Disney (indirectly - we were contracted by Interactive to animate their games). You laugh - but I actually heard conversations like that. I tried to stop them once by using the example of Tetris - said that nobody worries where the blocks came from...

Mistake!

There followed a 5 minute discussion about where DID the blocks come from.

This was 1997, and the "FACEPALM" hadn't been invented yet...if only.

Make it so!

Bacteria doubles in size every 20 minutes not 1 minute.

[idleworms]

It's not meant to be a LITERAL example of bacteria, but a mathematical illustration of exponential doubling. A thought experiment.

"THESE bacteria live in a bottle"...

They're not real, they're little cartoon guys with eyes and a mouth - that's the giveaway?

This is based on Professor Albert Bartlett's lecture "Arithmetic Population & Energy", which he's been giving for over 30 years.

Thanks for the biology lesson. I'm sure it's not the last time I'll hear it.

Pass the whisky!!!

Sorry... I was just pointing it out...

*hands over the whisky*

[idleworms]

No worries (though I'm slogging through the wine now - hic!) haha!

Yeah; if Bartlett had used the 20 minutes as a mathematical constant, noboby could have followed the numbers!!!!!

Can you tell me how to make this animation ? what kind of softwares ? Please.

[MrEnergyCzar]

This is an incredible visual presentation of a major problem...great job...

[dirtycrumbs]

This is outstanding. I really look forward to your movie...

Nice one. Its that windows voice?

Try doing an exponential pop growth verses exponential oil depletion.

The sheeple have their heads in the sand.
