Explaining concepts of electrical energy through… pizzas!
Director's Notes:
Inspired by our GCSE Teaching Scheme, we came up with this explanation of the concept of electrical energy in a circuit, using the analogy of pizza delivery.
SciCast Notes:
Lessons from this film:
- I need to write a set of guides about exporting video from common editing software. We’ve had films arrive as 4 gigabytes on a DVD, and as 1 megabyte, in this case. Oops. Sorry, all. 2, ‘Does the time limit include the end credits?’ is a question we should have anticipated and been clear about. 3, Particularly awful cod Italian accents are always funny.
This is a deliciously ambitious film, and if we could see all the detail then I think we’d agree that the production team have pulled it off. We’ll try to get a higher-quality version so we can judge it properly.

[update 6/Feb/08 — here’s the higher-quality version of the film, which is much clearer. It’s also a little shorter now, coming in under the 2:30 time limit (plus the SciCast end captions).]
