A smoke-free tale
In my summer holiday I helped my dad with making a story. It has a lot of pictures from things we have been doing in Australia. The story is like a tale, or an adventure, as my dad and I would like to see our city lead the way with stopping all the ‘Evil Smoke’.

This is my second and longest film ever
» Posted on Youtube on 1 September 2013
My first film was fiction. Now, my second film is non-fiction. It is about the environment. And it is the longest film I have ever made. 11 minutes.
It happened like this:
This term in school, we are doing a special theme project on The Environment. One day my dad asked me if I would like to go to Melbourne with him to support some farmers and some people who work to protect the environment.
I said yes, that sounded great.
Then I made a sign, and my dad helped me set it up in the computer so we could print it, and we went around to find a stick for it. It said ‘Common sense now’, because it seems to me people are not using their common sense when it comes to the environment. I am explaining about this in the end of the film.
When the day came, my brother and sister went for a soccer match, and my dad and I teamed up with Tony, who also lives in Geelong and works for the protection of the environment. (He was born in Southern Cross in Western Victoria and is an ex-high school teacher, and a dad. My dad was born in Denmark, like me, and is a journalist who writes a lot about the environment, evil smoke and climate change on a special website for that.)
We put three signs together in the last minute, and my dad took his camera along. What happened after that is what you can see on the film.
I hope you will like it.

Great cartoon film about the environment
We saw this film in school, ‘Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax’. It is an American computer-animated 3D musical fantasy comedy film from 2012 with a good environment message – about a boy who lives in a polluted wasteland without any trees.
See us singing a song from the movie – and read more about the film
At home, I am a Green Ninja now 🙂
Every morning, when we leave for school, I take a round in the house to check that all lights, water and tv is off.
Where does coal, gas and oil come from?
Here’s a film which explains how gas, oil and coal – the “fossil fuels” – was created, and what kind of problems they create for us now:

Lyrics
How Bad Can I Be?
By Ed Helms. From the film Dr. Seuss The Lorax
How bad can I be?
I’m just doing what comes naturally
How bad can I be?
I’m just following my destiny
How bad can I be?
I’m just doing what comes naturally
How bad can I be?
How bad can I possibly be?
Well there’s a principle of nature (principle of nature)
That almost every creature knows
Called survival of the fittest (survival of the fittest)
And check it this is how it goes
The animal that eats has got to scratch and fight
And claw and bite and punch
And the animal that doesn’t well the animal that doesn’t
Winds up someone else’s l-l-lunch (lunch lunch lunch lunch lunch)
I’m just sayin’
How bad can I be?
I’m just doing what comes naturally
How bad can I be?
I’m just following my destiny
How bad can I be?
I’m just doing what comes naturally
How bad can I be?
How bad can I possibly be?
There’s a principle in business (Principle in business)
That everybody knows is sound
It says the people with the money (People with the money)
Make this ever loving world go ’round
So I’m biggering my company
I’m biggering my factory
I’m biggering my corporate sign
Everybody out there can take care of yours
And me? I’ll take care of mine mine mine mine mine (Shake that bottom line)
Let me hear you say smogedy smoke (Smogedy smoke)
Schlopadee Scholp (Schlopadee Schlop)
Complain all you want it’s never ever ever ever gonna stop
Come on now how bad can it possibly be?
How bad can I be?
I’m just building the economy
How bad can I be?
Just look at me petting this puppy
How bad can I be?
A portion of proceeds goes to charity
How bad can I be?
How bad can I possibly be?
Let’s see
All the customers are buying
And the money is multiplying
And the PR people are lying
And the lawyers are denying
Who cares if a few trees are dying
This is all so gratifying
How bad
How bad can this possibly be
‘Let It Grow’
By Fletcher Sheridan. From Dr. Seuss The Lorax
You don’t know me but my name is Sai
I’m just the O’Hare delivery guy
But it seems like trees might be worth a try
So I say: let it grow
My name is Dan. And my name’s Rose
Our son Wesley kind of glows
And that’s not good so we suppose
We should let it grow
Let it grow
Let it grow
You can’t reap what you don’t sow
Plant a seed inside the earth
Just one way to know it’s worth
Let’s celebrate the world’s rebirth
We say let it grow
My name’s Maria and I am 3
I would really like to see a tree
Lalalalalalee
I say let it grow
I’m granny Norma I’m old and I got grey hair
But I remember when trees were everywhere
And no one had to pay for air
So I say let it grow
Let it grow
Let it grow
Like it did so long ago
Maybe it’s just one tiny seed
But it’s all we really need
It’s time to change the life we lead
Time to let it grow
My name’s O’Hare
I’m one of you
I live here in Thneedville too
The things you say just might be true
It could be time to start anew
And maybe change my point of view
Nah! I say let it die
Let it die, let it die
Let it shrivel up and die
Come one, who’s with me, huh?
Nobody.
You greedy dirt bag!
Let it grow
Let it grow
Let the love inside ya show
Plant a seed inside the earth
Just one way to know it’s worth
Let’s celebrate the world’s rebirth
We say let it grow
Let it grow
Let it grow
You can’t reap what you don’t sow
It’s just one tiny seed
But it’s all we really need
It’s time to banish all your greed
Imagine Thneedville flowered and treed
Let this be our solemn creed
We say let it grow
We say let it grow
We say let it grow
We say let it grow

The Manuscript
This was the first film that I have made – and I think it is pretty funny.
It was hard to make it. It took us a lot of days to make it. So I hope you will enjoy it!

I’m eight years old now
I celebrated my eight year’s birthday in Denmark
Jeg holdt min otte års fødselsdag i Danmark
Among other gifts I got a ticket to go to Legoland
Jeg fik blandt andet en billet til Legoland
…where I enjoyed a gigantic birthday icecream
…hvor jeg nød en gigantisk fødselsdags-is
More photos from my Legoland trip

When we got back to grandpa’s house we ended the day with a cake and a song
Da vi kom tilbage til farfars hus, sluttede vi dagen med en kage og en sang
My drawing was selected
for a Student Art Competition.
Min tegning blev udvalgt til en kunst-konkurrence på skolen.
I got an ‘Aim High’ award
(I sang Æblemand(A+E=Æ, Soft D) – and it was not in any way dutch)
So…. I aim higher! 🙂
My first guitar lesson
This week, I started learning to play the guitar. I had half an hour within school-hours with a very nice teacher. Now I am sweating 15 minutes every day with ‘Mary had a little Lamb’ and ‘Smoke on the Water’.
