Sustainability is cool. Everybody talks about this today. Also, it is something VERY important, not only a claim. For us is a mission, it is something that we really want to pursue in our work by optimizing the workflow, cooperating with incredible start-ups and companies that have the idea to change the future to lower the emissions during our production is something that WE DO. We know that is impossible to reach zero emissions today, but it is a target. In the meantime, what do we do? How? Just scroll down:
CUBBIT: an amazing company for cloud distribution. We use it to save and share our footage, significantly reducing the impact on the environment
SOLAR PANEL: we often travel to remote locations without any kind of facilities. Or, we stay in a beautiful hotel on a sunny day. Anyhow, we need juice for our equipment. A lot of batteries, power banks, and nerd tech. We always try to put sustainability first and we always use a solar panel to recharge our gears. Of course, we also have a diesel power generator and we have to plug into the electric line some of our devices, but a great kit of solar panels is always with us.
ACCOMMODATIONS: in our travels, we favor hotels that have made sustainability one of their strengths.
TRANSPORT: we are around a lot. By foot, train, boat, plane, and, most of all, cars. When it is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, we love alternative green vehicles, such as bikes. But of course, you know, film crews are always full of heavy stuff and we are only human. That’s the reason why we try to combine modern technologies to help us to move in a sustainable way, such as electric bikes, normal bikes, and modified bikes even to put the camera and film on it.
When we need a car, we arrange special partnerships to use ONLY hybrid or electric vehicles. If we can use it by following the fast-paced timing of tv production, everybody can. We also want to show that it is possible to move everywhere with an electric vehicle when you have a good plan in advance.
FOOD: the majority of us are vegetarian, but not everybody. We think is really important today for the future of our planet and for the next generations to lower meat consumption. Yet we respect any diet, food culture, and single needs based on the person. That’s the reason why we always try to eat at the “zero km” concept and, when possible, in cooperation with entities that love to cook our meals in a very green way during the duration of the production. This makes our shooting experience incredible, also because we rely on the local territory and food companies by supporting the local economy.
If you have any suggestions or ideas or you are a company that wants to cooperate in this project, write us, we will be very happy to be your partner or to implement your proposition, because we shoot in green not only in the special fx!
