One is "one minute movie" this will portray different everyday activities that take one minute to complete and that involve electric appliances:
it takes one minute to boil an egg
it takes one minute to brush your teeth, it takes one minute to microwave popcorn
It takes one minute to startup your computer
it takes one minute to watch an advertisement on tv
it takes one minute to take the tube for one station
it takes one minute to watch this movie
it takes one minute to squeeze 7 oranges
it takes one minute to stop for gas
it takes one minute to pay at the till
etc...possibly including the amount of electricity used for that activity.e.g (100kwh)
the idea is that the movie is one minute long and all these activities are happening inside each of the small "screens" on a solar panel and at the end the camera zooms out and you see the actual Panel and the punchline goes something like this:
"In one minute, the sun radiates more energy onto the earth than the entire population of the world uses in one week."
or
"By the time you have watched this movie the sun will have radiated more energy onto the earth than the entire population of the world uses in a year."
Various thoughts i have had are maybe not writing about things that happen in a minute but our weekly amount of energy use from certain everyday activities: e.g: we brush our teeth 17-21 times per week using 750kwh in total etc...
I am now working on the visuals so please look back soon for them-in the meantime if you could give me some feedback that would be great!

Hey i think its a good concept but needs work on the actual things.
things like "it takes one minute to change your mind, it takes one minute to change everything" are far to vague and do not require electricity. As doesn't brushing your teeth (which you should do for 3 minutes anyway).
I would start with a clip of the sun and end with it to really punch home the idea of what happens in a minute. And I’m not certain them being the windows in the solar panel is necessary. You could save yourself time by just having really well edited clips (make sure its sunny in each clip) one after another and then looking up at the sun in the last one with the statement.
Are either of the last two statements actually true? if not then the whole idea falls down in my opinion. You have to find out how much energy is actually produced by the sun in a minute.
good luck
Cheers Will! Very useful feedback! Yes the statement about the sun radiating as much energy in a minute as the whole population of the world uses in a week is true, but i agree that i should find out exactly how much energy that is.
THANKS A LOT!!
