Sustainable Filmmaking

ZeroAvia: films for hydrogen-electric aviation, 2021 to today

Floating Harbour has been ZeroAvia's film partner since 2021, making close to a hundred films as the company moved from ground testing to the first flight of its hydrogen-electric Dornier 228, Farnborough and the World Economic Forum. Five years of filming has built an archive that we put to work: the CEO Company Vision film at the top of this page was cut from footage we had captured over several years, combined with external archive and stock and bespoke graphics and visualisations into one story, without a new shoot. That is what a long-term relationship pays back in the edit.

In brief. Client since 2021. Close to 100 films: milestone and progress films, investor and recruitment films, event coverage at Farnborough International Airshow and the World Economic Forum, animation and event screen graphics, photography, and a Hot Docs documentary. Produced by Bristol film and video production company Floating Harbour.

What a long-term relationship makes possible

Because we work together all the time, briefing a new film takes minutes rather than meetings, and we often film without the client on the shoot: we know the questions to ask and what the company needs to say. The archive we have built means a strong new film does not always need a new shoot. Efficient production, streamlined communication, and a body of work that grows more useful each year.

ZeroAvia's vision

ZeroAvia is developing hydrogen-electric engines for commercial aircraft, with the aim of zero-emission flight at scale. Current milestones and figures are at zeroavia.com.

Film Production for ZeroAvia

ZeroAvia relies on a variety of media assets to elevate their position as leaders in sustainable aviation. Films play a vital role in achieving their objectives, including raising their profile, recruitment of top talent, attracting investment, demonstrating the viability of their solutions, educating the public, influencing policy makers, and improving public perception of new technologies.

Our comprehensive array of services encompasses day-to-day progress filming as well as filming milestone events, staff interviews, films for investor and public audiences, third-party testimonials, live event filming, animation and graphics, on-site filming at multiple locations, high-quality photography, creation of event films and web-banners, as well as provision of media assets for broadcasters, news organisations, and programme-makers.

Whatever content we are producing for ZeroAvia, we are committed to high production values and producing high quality content that aligns with their goals. 
 

Our Commitment to Sustainability and Sustainable Film Production

Commitment to sustainability is fundamental for Floating Harbour, in harmony with ZeroAvia's ethos. We prioritise eco-friendly practices to reduce our environmental impact, such as using electric vehicles for 90 percent of journeys to and from ZeroAvia's main site, charging production equipment with renewable energy using a large solar array on our eco-boat headquarters, and efficiently mixing essential UK crew with local crew during international filming to minimise emissions. More widely in our working practices we take many measures to reduce our carbon footprint, such as composting toilets at our studios and ultra low water usage.

Beyond ZeroAvia: Scalable, Sustainable Innovation Documentary for Hot Docs

By kind permission of ZeroAvia, we also produced a documentary for Hot Docs (supported by SAP). The film is a cinematic documentary that provides insights into the people and philosophies behind ZeroAvia's groundbreaking work, focusing on how passion and engineering can solve humanity's challenges.

Driving Sustainable Aviation with Film

Our work with ZeroAvia exemplifies our shared dedication to addressing the climate crisis. As ZeroAvia pioneers hydrogen-electric flight, Floating Harbour is proud to provide essential media production services and to capture the historic journey towards cleaner aviation.

Get Your Message Out There

We want to be part of the solution in as many ways as we can. Every business in every sector should have climate change mitigation at the heart of their activities. Our goal is to move as much of our work as possible to organisations that are serious about this. If you have a focus on sustainable practices, policies or innovations and we sound like the kind of film and media production partner that can help you, we would love to have a conversation.
