Earth friendly filmmaking
Many films waste a great deal of resources in the process. I propose a lower impact for the making and distribution of film. There is new light weight equipment and LED panel lighting and online distribution to save the production and packaging and shipping of dvd's
Idea Description
Using heavy Dolly and jib equipment requires many man hours and several crew to operate. LED panels use a fraction of the power and give just as much light, but are expensive. I believe the reduction of crew cost and impact on locations in natural environments will offset those costs of LED panels, Especially if they are "home-made". Also the distribution system required to print and ship DVDs is extremely wasteful especially when online services can give the same experience with a simple device to transmit the signal to your TV from the computer. I think these are easily applied through the channels already available without a download.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
Invest in a global promotion for films to be viewed online through a similar system to ABC's online HD television and the green film-making process supported by the filmmakers with market surveys and equipment comparisons with crew costs and environmental impact statistics.

Q1: Do you really need the DVD in your hand to get the perceived value in a rented movie?
I like your idea; I want to improve your odds of getting funding I will vote for your idea if you will vote for mine. My idea is for a web site that raises money for inventors and entrepreneurs called New Idea website Check out my idea blob submission and visit New Idea Website and see what I can do for you. http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/4060-NEW-IDEA-WEBSITE The need for jobs is one of the biggest problems that a democratic government faces because creating jobs is an unwanted byproduct of business and industry. The reason I say its unwanted is the more jobs a business creates the more its expenses are and the smaller it’s bottom-line. If business and industry have their way they would run their companies with no jobs at all no management or labor. To deal with this dilemma I pr…moreopose a federal venture capital carrot fund that literally pays entrepreneurs to create jobs. The investment bank would be expected invest in seed level startup projects like yours and to lose money at a specified dollar per jobs ratio for example during hard times that figure may be as high as $20,000 per job and good times the figure may be as low as five dollars per job, by controlling this ratio the fed could roughly control unemployment. The bank will be expected to fund novel products and services and stay away from things like restaurants that will simply draw jobs from other restaurants or moving factories from one part of the country to another. If you like this idea vote for it and send the congressional letter from the website. Sincerely Frank Scruggs
I like this idea. I have been hearing a lot of people talking about it lately, and someone just has to do it. Good luck. If you have a chance, please check out my project as well http://ideablob.com/ideas/3407-Kiba-Kiba-Books-Illustrated-b THANKS!
