Green production costs often less because there are savings when it comes to transports, travelling, material and fuel&quot;, underlines the filmmaker. \u201eThis should be an incentive for producers to deal more with this subject.\u201c Instead of investing the production budget in long-distance trips and exotic locations, he suggests, to foster\u00a0 stronger the creativity of the various departments as well as set design in order to create own universes with environmental friendly material.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Among the eco-friendly material which can be used for set design is a substitute for synthetic material and styrofoam which consists out of plant waste which are sprinkled with a fungus.. \u201eIn the US, this mycomaterial is already manufactured and used for components such as the padding of vehicles by the car industry or for the production of surfboards.\u00a0 \u201eThe material has a big potential for set design because it is water-resistant and weather-proof, not inflammable and bio-degradable.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But also bamboo is perfect for production design because it is lightweight, solid and flexible. \u201eWeight is also a factor\u201c, emphasizes Gassmann. In addition, bamboo is regrowing and compostable.\u201c As an a alternative to particle board which had been treated with formaldehyde there were work disks made out of old Tetra Paks. &quot;The production was stopped due to only little demand for it&quot;, reports the producer. Therefore it is important to break the vicious circle of too expensive piece prices and little demand. Instead, manufacturers of green products need a feedback that there is a market for their products if they are afffordable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/06\/Tesa.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-1291 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/06\/Tesa-255x300.jpg\" alt=\"Tesa\" width=\"255\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>\u201eArtists want to be creative without sparing any essentiell elements.\u201c But meanwhile there are green alternatives for many products.
