How it works

Rents or retrieves existing items to avoid manufacturing and buying again.

An audiovisual production coordinates energy, transportation, materials, locations and equipment from pre-production to post-production.

When does it make sense?

  • The decision is incorporated before the shooting
  • Departments and suppliers know their responsibility
  • Consumption, waste and material destination recorded

How to apply it

  1. 1

    Delimit the measurement and measure the starting position.

  2. 2

    Apply the measure with competent personnel and check for site-specific risks.

  3. 3

    Follow results, maintain the solution and correct unwanted effects.

Potential benefits

Less transport and energy

Increased reuse of materials

Lower pressure on locations

Limitations and precautions

  • The benefit must be verified under the actual conditions of application.
  • The specific option depends on creative demands, security and local services.
  • The measurement must cover all production, including suppliers and movements.
