Sustainable Video Production
As the world becomes more conscious of its environmental impact, sustainability is no longer just an option—it's a responsibility. At Splinter Unit Films, we believe that creativity and responsibility should go hand in hand. That’s why we’ve committed to embedding sustainability into every aspect of our video production process, helping businesses tell their stories while minimising our ecological footprint.
1. Eco-Friendly Production Planning
Sustainable video production starts at the planning stage. From day one, we consider how we can reduce our environmental impact on set and throughout the project lifecycle.
Digital Strategy & Pre-production: We prioritise virtual meetings, digital documents, and proposals to minimise paper use and reduce travel for in-person meetings.
Efficient Scheduling: By carefully planning shoots, we ensure we maximise efficiency, limiting the need for extra shooting days, which reduces energy use and transportation emissions.
2. Sustainable Filming Practices
Our commitment to sustainability extends to the set, where we make eco-friendly decisions that don’t compromise creativity or quality.
Energy Efficiency: We use energy-efficient LED lighting for shoots, which consume up to 75% less energy than traditional lighting setups.
Carbon-Neutral Travel: For shoots that require travel, we prioritise low-emission transport options where possible.
Local Sourcing: We collaborate with local crew members and suppliers whenever possible, reducing the need for long-distance shipping and transportation, and supporting local economies.
3. Green Studio and Set Design
When we film on location or build sets, we prioritise eco-friendly materials and sustainable practices.
Reusable Set Materials: Rather than relying on single-use props or disposable set pieces, we work with partners to source or rent reusable and sustainable materials.
Minimising Waste: We practice a strict "reduce, reuse, recycle" approach on set. This includes recycling all appropriate materials, minimising food waste by working with local suppliers for craft services, and using digital communication tools to cut down on unnecessary paper waste, as well as having a no single use plastic policy during our shoots.
4. Sustainable Post-Production
Even after filming wraps, our sustainability efforts continue into the post-production phase.
Cloud-Based Editing: We rely on cloud-based editing platforms to cut down on physical data storage and the energy it consumes. This also allows for remote collaboration, reducing the need for travel and maintaining an efficient workflow. We do this through using Frame.io for file reviews & delivery to both client and in-house.
Energy-Efficient Technology: We are actively looking at ways we can make our post-production process more energy-efficient.
5. Sustainable Partnerships
We are proud to collaborate with businesses that share our commitment to sustainability. By working with eco-conscious vendors, locations, and partners, we ensure that sustainability is at the forefront of every decision, both on and off set.
Green Suppliers: Whether it's the equipment we rent or the transportation we use, we prioritise working with suppliers who adhere to sustainable practices. We have an active partnership with greenkit.london for all of our lighting rentals.
Eco-Conscious Clients: We collaborate with brands and companies that value sustainability, helping them convey their eco-friendly message through high-quality, engaging video content.
6. Commitment to Ongoing Improvement
Sustainability is not a one-time goal but a continuous journey. At Splinter Unit Films, we are always looking for new ways to improve our environmental impact and work more sustainably. We regularly review our practices, educate our team on the latest sustainable technologies, and seek feedback from clients and partners to ensure we’re meeting our sustainability goals.
