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.
