Become greeeeener …
… with Rixfilm’s Green Animation services.
Sustainability is more than a buzzword. Sustainability is a challenge that we all have to face. Out of responsibility for the next generation and out of responsibility for ourselves.
Everyone can contribute, including the animation industry. With our „Green Animation“ offers, we are happy to support you as a filmmaker or animation studio if you want to produce in a greener and more sustainable way.
Our Services
Green Production
Green production is a requirement of many TV broadcasters, funding agencies and streamers worldwide. We support you in fulfilling these requirements.
We analyze the sustainability potential of your project, develop suitable measures together with you, your production office and the department heads and, if you wish, monitor them during production. Of course, sustainability reporting according to the regulations is part of our service.
As a certified Green Consultant, Angela Poschet will carry out all the necessary steps in accordance with the „Ecological Standards“ applicable in Germany and Austria – including the calculation of the carbon footprint. On an international level, we are happy to work according to the guidelines of „We are Albert“ (UK), „Ecoprod“ (F) and the PGA (USA).
Green Studio Planning
The potential for more sustainability in animation studios is high, whether you work with stop motion or fully digitally.
Together with you, we take the first steps towards energy management. This is particularly worthwhile for small and medium-sized studios that cannot or do not want to afford a complex and expensive energy management system. To do this, we analyze the energy flows in the studio, work with you to develop realistic targets for ecological improvement, and then help you to implement the corresponding measures.
This also includes profitability calculations, for example, when replacing or investing in new lighting and IT technology.
Green Training
Sustainable production means change. And as with any change, success depends first and foremost on the people involved.
With this in mind, we are currently developing a series of online training courses that motivate, inform and, above all, activate. The aim is to ensure that sustainable methods are actually implemented in day-to-day production.
Three courses are currently planned: „Basic Knowledge“ for all team members, „Sustainable Management“ for decision makers in the production office and „Sustainable Animation Production“ as an in-depth course specifically for the animation sector.
We are also happy to hold in-house training courses at your company or to create training measures tailored to your individual needs.
