CLIMATE DOCUMENTARIES – Works in Progress & Proposals

Current Documentary in Development – CLIMATE: VISUALIZING THE INVISIBLE

A note from R. Buckminster Fuller:  “When I was born in 1895, reality was everything you could see, smell, touch and hear. The world was thought to be absolutely self-evident. When I was 3 years old, the electron was discovered. That was the first invisible. It didn’t get in any of the newspapers; (nobody thought that would be important!) Today 99.99% of everything that affects our lives cannot be detected by the human senses. We live in a world of invisibles.”

Quoted in the book “A Fuller Explanation: The Synergetic Geometry of R. Buckminster Fuller (Back-in-Action books)” by Amy C. Edmondson, J. Baldwin

This comment by Buckminster Fuller is part of the inspiration for this project.

CLIMATE: VISUALIZING THE INVISIBLE Logline: “In the midst of our intensifying climate crisis, this project will provide very usable visual tools for all of us to be able to ‘see’ the inner workings of our molecular atmosphere, from the macro to the micro, so we can reimagine how to make real world solutions and change our future. Even though we can’t see it, we are deeply a part of the air around us with very breath we take and every sound we hear. It is time to know our atmosphere as dense, complex, understandable, and repairable. Our very lives depend upon it.” [For more info, see below and email: sheddprods@aol.com]

VISUALIZING THE INVISIBLE Research Books & Air/Water Comparison Density Example

A few of the 900+ Climate and Molecular Biology research books gathered for this project. And a direct demonstration of the density and fluidity of the atmosphere compared to the density and fluidity of water. Carefully put one’s hand out a moving car window to directly feel the thickness of the air. Click on images to see larger details.

Visualizing the scale of our invisible physical world

Visualizing the scale of our physical world using rainbow colored hexagon frames as scale memory device, to show side-by-side simultaneous images of the same thing at several orders of magnitude, using microscopic and electron microscopy imagery in parallel with human scale.

Click above for movie animation test showing rainbow hexagon frames with different scalar physical magnifications.

Car Photos showing the patterns of the turbulence of our dense air/atmosphere, from driving in the New Mexico nearly invisible gritted air.

The movement of the dense swirling air pushed aside while driving is clearly seen from the worn paint patterns on the hoods of many cars, making the invisible visible.

Cars photographed in New Mexico, showing the gritted flow of air pressure flowing over the car frames plus a computer simulation showing the ~20,000 pounds of air pressure being pushed by moving cars.
