great video!
Film school is awesome because I love watching films
So cool!
I produced a video for a scholarship contest. It was alot of work to get the audio content to match up with the visual content. I learned alot about video editing.
I love using my camera and I film football games
awesome!!
Good video as always 🙂 love the behind the scenes!
I have always found films interesting and this shows how much work goes into some of my favorite movies!
I really enjoyed learning about the rovers and seeing the first picture of Earth from another planet.
I’ve always wanted to go to film school so this is pretty cool
My neighbor goes to college but has been making short films and they are really good. I think making films would be neat
It’s cool how the wind moves the clouds.
Hey, Dr. B, Who made the first law of science? who named it science? And why is the meaning of science? And how do we know that the science that is now is the right science? And also how did you know to want Acellus.
Thank you.
Wow!!!
this is so cool to learn!
Never seen behind the scenes, very cool!
I loved seeing the behind the scenes tour of the set!
I really like this one😜😎🤓
The green screen effect was cool.
So cool! I once knew an NYU film school graduate.
XOXOXOXO love you!
This is my mum’s job!! She makes videos for work and sometimes I get to go with her at work. So i am familiar with lighting and filming.
I always thought the backgrounds looked great in the videos, but I didn’t know all that effort went into production. I showed my mom that clip and she was shocked too, especially by the makeup department. Do you think you could have a segment soon that lists the types of jobs Acellus has to offer? I’m really interested in the camera and special effects stuff, and my mom is curious about the video editing. We’re all wondering if you’ve ever hired former Acellus students.
This Story was very interesting to watch i found it very cool.
Missed having Mr. Billings!!
I’ve never really understood how green screen worked until now. I love these science lives and learning about basically everything I never knew I had questions about!
Hi!!! This video was cool my dad films I think and also the school tour was cool I was waiting to see it thank you so much!!
I love to play like I’m acting in a film with my big brother
Love it! My sister loves playing like she is acting
Film School sounds very interesting!
Action behind the camera is so cool!!
Very interesting. I like to edit videos and make short clips.
I absolutely love this episode! I think it would be so cool to have a movie about Roger billings. Also I think it’s crazy how Mars looks like a desert 🏜 I love all of Acellus Acadamy! \(^•^)/
wow!!!
my uncles makes films
Awesome
So cool
Cool
Awesome video!
This was one of my favorite videos so far!
It was interesting to see the behind the scene on the video production. 🙂
Rovers were on mars and they had to very carefully drive out and if they break it, it would be over. You can see a tiny white dot that is earth and it was from a photograph from the rover. The rocks on mar’s look like blueberry’s and it was oozing out of the surface of mar’s. The rover’s got solar panel’s to keep charging. They found solica
Awesome!!
Awesome
That sounds cool!
Awesome
Awesome episode, it’s so cool that you’ve partnered with professional camera companies. It’s awesome how high quality it is.
The green screen is really neat. I’ve always wondered how they did that.
It’s interesting that earth was SO small looking from Mars.
Does the science fair go into our transcript?
Does Acellus plan on teaching film production classes?
This was interesting!!
We’ve been thinking of a green screen at home. Might invest after this!
Really cool
i love this episode
what are one of the most important skills needed to be successful in the film industry?
Film school would be a nice school to go to.
This was an interesting video on behind the scenes of video production. The green scene studio is a great addition which adds interest to academic courses.
Thank you! I also really hope you get approved to make that movie.
HOW WILL FILMING EVOLVE IN FUTURE AI WORLD?
Its really cool to see behind the scenes
Are there any other planets that have water or supplies we need to live?
I enjoyed this.
We have the same problem with pollen on our solar panels at our house as the rover had on Mars. We have ro clean them or wait until it rains.
this one was pretty cool!
Do you have to be in the science fair
I also have a green screen at home.
This was an interesting episode. <3
Great video
i love how much work they put into making sure we have a wonderful education!
I also really enjoyed watching this!
Thank you!! I also really hope you get approved to make that movie, because I would watch it!

I Think This Story was very interesting to watch i found it very cool
this is awesome and it’s incredible what they do for students like us to have an education
This was actually a really cool episode, It’s really interesting to be able to see behind the scenes of Acellus! Plus the story about the rover was really interesting!!
this was cool
This was my first “episode” and it was very interesting. I learned a lot. I look forward to the episode tomorrow.
I wonder how long it takes to learn how to use all the equipment used for filming! The cameras are really big and look complicated.
What skills or experiences are most important to succeed in film school?
It is cool how the lesson videos are made.
I loved this episode of Science Live and I am very excited about a possible Acting Course coming to Acellus! Hopefully, there are more opportunities in Science Live, and Acellus for the arts. Like animations, editing, film/radio, visual, and performing arts alongside their integration with science.
seeing behind the scenes of the film was so fascinating! I think the opening of this video was extremely eye-opening especially being able to see/ hear Nate talk about everything I think it was very helpful kinda showing us just how much we can if we want it bad enough and if were able to put in the effort to do so.
I love history too
blueberries on mars was a funny comment considering it was just coming out of the ground
oops I mean ist
this was a great episode and I have a question what does it stand for
Can you please make a film course for people who can’t go to Kansas city
I LOVE THIS EPISODE AND I LOVE THE GREEN SCREEN!
I do believe that he has accomplished his dream of making Acellus amazing because so far I have learned more in a shorter time period from this program then when I was in public school.
I enjoyed seeing how many things go into filming!
Learning about how my favorite movie was made is so cool!
Getting to see behind acellus is highly interesting
I love film
This is really entertaining and I really like the idea of the hydrogen car
If I wanted to enter the science fair how would I do that.
Film is such a cool thing, and I might actually consider pursue it as my career.
I always wonder what the BTS are like!
That is so neat!
Wow it was really cool to see the behind the scenes of these acellus videos. I always kind of wondered how they were done. This was a cool video.
Seeing behind the scenes is cool!!!
I love science live
Sounds awesome! Love photography
I’m really grateful that Dr. Billings shares his knowledge and experiences with us.
I tried added a comment a couple days a go but I don’t think it worked. Anyways, this episode was great! I will love to go to a film school one day, especially because I am a huge fan of films and how they were made!
I’m thinking about going to film school.
Looks very interesting
i love my teachers thank yall so much
thank you Acellus for teaching me and making me more educated.
When was filming invented?
I never knew it was this much of a procces to make the acellus videos it is awsome to see behind the scenes of them.
Sometimes going behind the scenes helps bring people back to reality and realize these are real people.
really interesting to hear about the rover’s solar panels!
This is my second time watching Science Live. I just started and it’s going to be a fun learning time with Dr B!
It was cool to see how much detail and planning goes into filming the lessons. I didn’t realize how much work happens behind the scenes!
Wow! This video is so cool!
Thank you Dr. billings!
This is very interesting likes seeing all the backstage things that happen
Filming is something that I’m interested in.
I really like editing my photography. It sounds like it would be fun to edit films though to.
I’ve been interested in photography! This is cool!
These videos are one of my favorite parts of Acellus!
the BTS was cool
I’ve always wondered what the BTS is like!
This episode was so awesome. I did’t know that you had to put in the teacher’s height, or their dominant hand etc… A lot more goes into it than I thought. I also didn’t know that they got their hair and make-up done. I thought they just did it themselves before coming in to work. I also thought the prop room was awesme.
see be hind the scenes is so cool!
I would love to see a sunset on Mars.
this was so cool
A very interesting class.
I enjoyed seeing the BTS and movie ideas for acellus, that was so cool!
Wow, that AI super computer is neat.
How does Dr .B come up with these inventions with hydrogen?
Cool

Wow, I mean wow. How incredible it is to see behind the scenes of Acellus. It fuels the furnace of ambition within my heart.
When do you think you will finish the movie? I sure do wish R51 showed up but It was really nice to go behind the scenes.
I’ve been real invested in years past when it comes to animation. Much respect to filmmakers.
Why is space called space
The BTS info was very interesting. I’ve always been interested in films, the production and editing.
Dr. Billings is cool!
We love your science live videos.

I like learning about making the film. It is so amazing and fun.
I think its cool how the weather people can predict different weather, especially things like hurricanes!
How do they know when tornadoes and hurricanes are coming?
We want to see a movie about Roger Billings!
Thanks Dr. B, I could do my work and then I’m in 5th grade.
Todd Edmond is the best history teacher, and I don’t even like history. He makes it interesting by telling stories.
Thank you Mr. Billings for sacrificing time every week to mentor us!!! Hope you’re doing well!!
With the rovers on mars and the issue with the dust/sand covering the solar panels. Is there not a way to program and build the rover in such a way that it can clean the solar panels itself?
This live was very interesting and cool!
Great video again!!
Thats so cool:)
Film school can be a valuable path for aspiring filmmakers, offering structured education, access to resource, and a supportive community. Awesome Episode

Its amazing how unexpectedly long some things last! Spirit was an amazing rover.
How long do you think it would be until you start the movie if you guys decide to?
I enjoyed to see and learn what happens behind the scenes. It not only amazing but it takes a lot of time and dedication from the team to accomplish such a great show.
Awesome!!
So so so so so so so so COOL!!!
It was really cool seeing how Acellus works. I think this was one of the best episodes
awesome! I love film school
Must say a huge thank to Acellus as a whole, they have giving me many breaks especially revolving around my family, and the losses and potential losses that I have been dealing with in my family. I appreciate the time they have excused me when family calls, and emergencies happen. Also thank you doctor B, these videos cheer me up and get me thinking.
I really enjoyed taking a look at what goes on behind the scenes.
Dr. B will you come to Texas, Well I don’t know if you have ever been because I can’t follow you all the time. But it would be really cool to meet you!
I love the part of Tobias when he was showing the Acellus rooms for teachers.
Thanks for this video, I loved this one and made me laugh.
These videos are the best!

Thanks for the video! Can’t wait to watch the next one on Wednesday.
yes, first one to comment film is the best i love this episode.
This was a interesting video to watch
Pajet’s speech was very good. I’m surprised there is no comments though I’m looking forward to the next episode. Personally, I want to see a black hole video. Thank you Dr. B, for everything you have done for us. May your name not be in vain. Long live Dr. B.
I like hearing about the first hydrogen car
I thought that was awesome.
I would agree that film school is a great option for whomever decides to pursue film! The evolution of film that was mentioned is very informative.
I really enjoyed this episode of roger billing’s because I got to see the film set and all the procedures that are implemented for production, but me favourite part was the exclusive on the hydrogen car.
I wanna be an actor
This was really fun to watch! Thanks Acellus!
Where is Roger？
“Thank you” does not seem like enough to show my appreciation, but THANK YOU!!!
So does this mean that we will soon live on mars?
I loved Tobias’ take on this.
Wow! I really loved the tour and, seeing the facilities.
Yesss!!!!!!!! First one to comment…… also cool vid.
