Two days to go until the previews of ‘In Transition 2.0‘! In our second ‘In Transition 2.0′ podcast, I spoke to Beccy Strong (see right filming in Rwanda), who filmed most of the UK-based sequences in the film, and asked her 5 quick questions. You will also hear, interspersed in this short podcast, some clips from the film itself. In our next podcast, we’ll be hearing from Rebecca Mayes, who composed all of the music used in the film.
I was reminded by this recent piece by Dr Chris Johnstone over at ClimateCodeRed of the meeting that he and I held in June 2006 with Dr Stephen Rollnick. This was back when I was researching the Transition Handbook, and we met for a day to discuss how insights from the psychology of health behaviour change might be helpful when tackling environmental issues like climate change and peak oil. It was fascinating, and I realised as I read Chris’ article that I had never posted the transcript of that conversation here yet. So here it is, slightly dated, but hopefully containing some insights you will find useful (it’s quite long!). My thanks to Chris and Stephen for a fascinating day (nearly 6 years ago!).
It’s less than a week to go until ‘In Transition 2.0′ is previewed in each of the places whose stories appear in the film. For example, it will be previewed in a fire station in Moss Side in Manchester, a community centre in Lyttelton in New Zealand that was one of only a few buildings there to survive the earthquake (their screening starts at 9am), a Hindu temple in Tooting in London, a ‘Cinema Paradiso’ in a village in rural India, and in a village hall in Japan (see here for the full list of previews). I caught up with producer Emma Goude to ask her 5 quick questions about the film.
This is your chance to be in the Transition music video! With the upcoming release of In Transition 2.0 we are releasing a song written by the composer for the film, Rebecca Mayes, complete with music video. Rebecca is an astonishingly talented musician, you can find out more at her website. The song is called ‘Turn the Lights Out’ and we want clips of YOU turning out the lights. Any lights. It can be creative/unusual ways of turning lights out, or just plain looking into camera and turning lights out. You can do it alone or with your Transition community (preferably both!) Five second clips maximum. It can be filmed on your phone, digital camera, whatever. As high quality as possible but everything is welcome. Once the clip is filmed please upload it to YouTube (either privately or publicly) and send the link to Rebecca at audiogamer(at)gmail.com, before February 19th. This is a creative, community project and we’d like as many of you in the video as possible. If you have any questions, do post them below. The song will be released as a single, but here is a short clip of it as a taster…
Here’s a great ‘The Transition Companion’ widget created by Green Books, which offers an immersion into the book, complete with audio bits and all sorts. It’s easily embeddable, so if you have anywhere on-line it could go, that would be wonderful. Click on it and it blows up into a flip-throughable selection from the book. Thanks to Stacey at Green Books for creating it…
How might our response to peak oil and climate change look more like a party than a protest march? This site explores the emerging transition model in its many manifestations
