Highlights from the Reel Green™ Clean Energy Battery Workshop
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
Clean energy champions and industry professionals helped guide the participants in trying out electric generators and battery powered sources for lighting and catering equipment, including Valid Power System Battery Packs and Urban Power Source Units.
For more information on the Portable Electric VOLTstack 5K Generators that were used in the workshop, visit their website here.
“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
