Can batteries really replace diesel on set? How do I know what batteries I need for a shoot? What do I do when a battery is running low? These questions were asked and answered at the Clean Energy Battery Workshop presented by Reel Green™, IATSE 891, and MBS Canada.
“This is the future. Our entire industry is going electric. The more we know about what’s coming and how it all works the better off we’ll all be.”
Dylan Kilgour, Location Manager – DGC BC
“It was one of the most informative workshops I have attended on the subject because it moved beyond theory into demonstration of practical technical solutions that are available right now. Furthermore, the right people are in the room with the technical knowledge and experience of actually working with clean energy technologies available in the field today.”
Geoff Teoli, Vancouver Film Commissioner – Vancouver Economic Commission

“For those of us working throughout the regions of B.C., this technology is groundbreaking. It is one thing to read about but quite another to experience first-hand clean energy being produced using clean renewable power sources.”
Joan Miller, Film Commissioner, Vancouver Island North Film Commission
