what would happen if the rover didnt uncover it?
Great video!
I felt really inspired by the student you brought to talk especially since he’s in the same field I want to be in.
Thank you, Dr. Billings, for all you do for us! Acellus has helped me so much! I love the way the classes are broken down. Thank you for caring about us kids and our futures.
I liked the film school behind-the-scenes tour. It will be interesting to see a film about you. When can we see one?
Loved seeing what goes into making the videos! I have always wondered what the behind the scenes are like.
This is cool
Cool video! I loved the behind the scenes.
I loved LOVED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the part where tobias said 4k 6K Smile Jim And I liked The Part Where Tobias Did the indiana Jones part.
we miss you spirit🥹♥
What materials do they use to capture the weather?
It’s so cool to see what the actual filming set and stuff looks like! I’ve always wondered ‘where the magic happens’.
I want to know more about movies.
The behind scene was really interesting, I liked it
so interesting
this is so cool!
Today’s episode was fairly funny like that one scene where we were wondering how the solar panels got cleaned and he showed us a picture of Darth Vader that was a funny part but then he showed us the real way and it’s like whirlwinds like small tornadoes that like the dirt and move it around and also it was also funny how those little like rock things on the ground look like blueberries and I did not know Mars did not have an atmosphere like Earth and I also didn’t know that Mars has a bunch of iron and copper on its surface it was very fun and educational thank you service
so fascinating !
I really like this one😁😁😁😁😊🥰🥰🥰😅😅😆😆🌹
We miss you!
I wonder how long we would be able to be on mars if we could.
This is really cool, I’ve always wondered what goes behind the scenes while filming!
Isn’t it crazy that Spirit was only supposed to last 90 days but survived for six years and made one of the biggest discoveries about water on Mars by accident?
this video was very interesting
Will we be able to go to Mars one day?
Its so cool to see what goes on behind the scenes!
Very interesting!
Fun! I want to be a movie director!
Awesome
I would like to be a meteorologist and film school looks interesting.
this was so cool to watch!
✨I loved the rover story! I never knew mars was so interesting!✨
Cool video!!
thank you for this inspiring video, my favorite were the two rovers on mars, showing us how similar or different it is from earth.
Never realized what all went into a filmed lesson!
I loved the behind the scenes part
I love watching this every week!
I love learning about different stuff
It’s cool how the wind moves the clouds.
It’s so cool bringing the color in the videos
I never knew that much work had to be put in editing
I would like to visit this film studio.
How much does the Super Computer cost?
How do stabilizers work?
Thank you Dr. B.
I’m sad that Dr. Billings doesn’t show up in this episode but I think he’ll show up in the next episode.
always wanted to do this
How do third world countries predict the weather if they don’t have super computers? I’m guessing they just can’t predict it as accurate or as quick as a super computer?
I do have an admiration for photography and film but i dont think its something ill do in a career.
As a student, I really enjoyed watching the behind the scenes!
How did they figure out the same technology they used could help predicting hurricane and tornado paths?
April 2 my birth day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The behind the scenes part was cool
This was super cool.
Did the rover not have the mechanisms to repair itself?
I really enjoyed watching the filming and inner workings of Acellus behind the scenes. I also enjoyed the ideas for the movie about Dr. Billings. Thank you Dr. Billings!!
Great Video very interesting!
YAY for mister billings!!
I am truly grateful for the effort you guys put into the lesson videos!
When did Mr B. have the idea of the first hydrogen car?
Film school sounds so interesting!!!
Great information!
I loved todays video.
How does the weather channel know when a tornado will form?
I’ve always wanted to do that!
How does the Acellus Studios’ production process make learning fun and engaging for students?
The behind the scenes part was so cool!
This was so interesting
One thing I learned about predicting the weather is that it is unpredictable.
cool
How nice is that!
Well my daughter was very interested in the cut out of Mr.Billings lol, this is a interesting video in some way more complicated than others seeing as I can barely set up one of those telescopes that you can input coordinates into, an here you are breaking down a video every week to make it intriguing and fun . Very cool though always nice to see the making of something .
Amazing I remember my mom telling me that she had a class in filming in high school.
I am very inspired by the graduate boy
Have a wonderful night!
cool video
We loved seeing the “behind the scenes” of the classrooms and how the courses are brought to life!
This is My favorite episode out of all the Roger billings videos ever. I still like them all! Thank you Mr.Billings.
I think i’d get into film content when im older, it seems like a really interesting career path to have
I enjoyed seeing the rovers and seeing the first picture of earth from another planet. Seeing the studios and behind-the-scenes of acellus videos was super interesting and fun. I learned how much work goes into editing my favorite films and videos. I really enjoyed the AI storyboard of the movie about Dr. B.
missed you Dr. B.
cool
dr roger billings is a awesome guy. I like this video
Fascinating video!
I would like to learn how to do this. I’d like to edit videos and make short films. How long does it take to learn this skill?
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!
