Nordisk Film Shortcut: Transforming film and TV production
Nordisk Film Shortcut’s ground-breaking LED stage greatly reduces the carbon footprint of any production.
Reducing the carbon footprint in film and TV production
The global entertainment industry has witnessed a growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly practices to reduce its environmental impact. Traditional film production involves extensive travel, on-location shoots, and large-scale set constructions, leading to significant carbon emissions.
Shortcut LED stage is a 100% solar powered 360˚ LED stage, making it possible to film photorealistic locations from all over the world, greatly reducing the carbon footprint of any production.
As the Shortcut Stage is 100% powered by solar power, it actively participates in the shift to reduce the carbon footprint, contributing to a greener and more sustainable entertainment industry.
In a project for VisitDenmark, the official tourism organisation for Denmark, the stage proved useful making a line of commercials where VisitDenmark needed three different locations, two locations from Denmark and one from Southern Europe. Nordisk Film shot all locations on their 360˚ LED stage, merging real physical elements and digital content. This method reduced carbon footprint by approximately 85% mainly because the entire production crew only needed to travel to the local studio.
