Hosted by Pinewood Studios-based company <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sargent-disc.com\/\">Sargent-Disc<\/a>, the panel discussion &quot;Controlling the financial and environmental costs on production&quot; focused on essential issues such as raising awareness, best practices, training and alternate solutions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Laurence Sargent, CEO, Sargent-Disc, started the discussion with production tools and services that enable environmentally sustainable production such as LED lights. \u201eIt might be helpful to look very practically at the way that everything in film is interconnected\u201c, said Sally McEnallay, Marketing Director and Managing Partner, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenlitegroup.co.uk\/\">Greenlit.<\/a> \u201eMany of the LED lights that we rent out are not just energy-saving and cost-saving but also offer other options. The LED technology is developing incredibly quickly.\u201c Arri Sky panels series and also the new KinoFlo Select have a huge potential. \u201eThey last longer and you don\u2018t have to often replace bulbs, that is also environmental friendly and cost-saving.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If it comes to energy use, diesel generators are a huge problem because they harm the environment with dirty fuel. By 2030, the use of diesel generators might not be possible anymore due to the air pollution. \u201eTherefore it is important that the film industry will be equipped with alternative solutions which are already available, Birgit Heidsiek, Publisher, <a href=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/about-us\/\">Green Film Shooting<\/a>, pointed out. \u201eThe construction industry already is using hybrid generators.\u201c The tools exist but there is no infrastructure when it comes to suppliers in the Film\/TV industry all across the world. The generator makes a huge difference economically as well as environmentally. \u201eIt is possible<br \/>\nto get the same amount of light and the same performance for half of the money\u201c, emphasizes Sally McEnallay. The solution are batteries that can be charged a half an hour each through a domestic plug versus the generator. \u201eIf you running your lights with batteries, you have lower rental costs in distribution.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201eThe British <a href=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/2016\/02\/20\/change-is-challenging\/\">BAFTA albert consortium<\/a> tries to give filmmakers access to sustainable solutions.<br \/>\n\u201eWe created a scheme that helps the smaller players in the industry to access renewable energy\u201c, Jeremy Mathieu from BAFTA albert outlined. \u201eThrough that scheme they get a discount.\u201c So far twenty companies have signed up for about \u00a3 280,000 worth of electricity. But when it comes to the implementation of best practices, also small things can have a huge impact. \u201eWe are used to pick up a plastic bottle. It is taking time to think about it. There are more sustainable solutions out there\u201c, sums up Greenlit&#8217;s marketing manager.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On the long run, it is neccessary to implement a carbon calculator in the calculation software so that production managers can see if it is more expensive to rent a hybrid or electric car and what is the result in terms or costs and carbon emissions. \u201eIt would make it easier to decide but it is still a long way to go\u201c, concludes the Green Film Shooting publisher. \u201eWe don\u2018t even have a European carbon calculator yet.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The benefits of sustainable film production were highlighted at the Media Production Show at the Olympia in London where more than hundred companies and studios presented their latest technologies and services.
