Analyses pave the way for sustainable film and TV
Reference: Vision Denmark and Producentforeningen
How do you get a sustainable film and TV production? With specific cases and the right tools. Viegand Maagøe has helped Danish producers on their way towards a sustainable film and TV production.
How we completed the assignment
Vision Denmark and Producentforeningen wished to create a more sustainable film and TV production in Denmark. Viegand Maagøe has helped getting the transition in motion in multiples ways:
- Mapping
Made an overview of processes and activities that carry carbon emissions e.g., energy consumption for storage and management of data during the editing process. Film and TV are different compared to traditional industrial and productional processes but you still need to know your starting point to measure optimizations. - Cases
Calculated carbon emissions for 3 cases in a Danish context: feature film, live shows and TV production. - Analysis
Analyzed 7 foreign carbon emissions tools in movie and TV. This brought the members of the industry qualified inspiration for sustainable initiatives in their productions. - Recommendations
Given 4 concrete recommendations to sustainble Danish film and TV procution.

Contract period: 2020-21
Results
The mapping proved that the variety in film and TV production is significant, and that the data collection can be troublesome.
The carbon emissions from a movie production CO2-udledningen fra en filmproduktion is widely distributed between transport, editing work and energy consumption using materials and equipment:
The project has made Vision Denmark and the producers’ association ready with concrete numbers and facts for more sustainable movie and TV production.
The work with sustainable production in Danish movie and TV is still in its early stages, and in spring of 2021 Viegand Maagøe is going to present an overview, methods, and recommendations for the members of the industry.
