In this unusual episode of the Everything Electric SHOW, we go behind the scenes at Martini Film Studios just outside of Vancouver, to explore how to make movies and television zero carbon.
Productions, with their remote locations, large crews, extensive lighting rigs, and significant travel, have traditionally had substantial carbon footprints. Vancouver, already a major hub for the TV and film industry with productions like Elf, Deadpool, and Mission Impossible 4, is becoming ever more attractive due to its abundance of renewable hydroelectric energy.
As well as hydropower, organizations like Creative BC, BC Hydro, and Martini Film Studios are pioneering sustainable practices, including recycled sets, renewable power kiosks, electric vehicles, and solar power. These initiatives are paving the way for zero-carbon filmmaking. Join Imogen as she has a little too much fun on set!
