Introducing SilverScape

SilverScape is a new Creative Technology business providing bespoke services to clients looking to deliver world class quality work whilst also reducing Scope 3 emissions in Production

SilverScape delivers an end-to-end, integrated  solution utilising the very best Creative thinking, latest Virtual Production workflows, new Studio spaces and Production expertise. 

Combining a unique blend of expertise with a global talent bank to deliver total solutions for clients

Analytics to inform decision making in real time

  • The 2022 AdGreen report illustrated that from the 515 ad production projects that measured carbon impact, almost 63% of the carbon emissions were created through travel and transport.

    So, our VP studio facilities, where the world is brought in front of the camera, rather than entire crews traveling to each location, will be a large part of the solution if we are to reduce the negative and unintended environmental impact of filmmaking.

    Our aim is to encourage the widespread adoption of virtual production by making it easier and more cost-effective for producers across the film, TV and advertising sectors.

    • Last year, 2,446.1t CO2e (metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent) was emitted through UK ad production

    • Travel  accounted for 62.4% of emissions from UK ad production 

    • 87% of films are produced using road and air travel

    • Almost three-quarters of flights taken for UK film production are long-haul

    • Virtual production can cut carbon output by more than 70%

  • It’s early days for virtual production and, so far it is estimated that less than 1% of film production across the various sectors uses it. The technology is now  both commercially and creatively viable.

     

     

    SilverScape delivers end-to-end virtual production via new Studio spaces, technologies and VP production expertise.

     

     

    We are creating learning and engagement programs and new

    Business Analytics tools to measure carbon and provide all the data needed to demonstrate the true value of our Virtual Production solutions.

  • ​ESG values are at the heart of our business.

    Reducing emissions from production is one of five recommendations from the Advertising Association's Ad Net Zero report.

    Virtual Production will play a key role in reducing carbon emissions and has infinite potential as a sustainable filming solution

  • We are proud to have secured the support of the British Film Commission, Creative UK and Greater Manchester Combined Authority who understand both the developing nature of the market and our plan to deliver a unique cluster of services to support the creative industries. Additionally, we are working with Cowgills Investment Advisory to support our growth ambitions. 

     

    We are working with Cowgills investment advisory practice to support our growth ambitions.

     

    We are grateful for the leading trade associations who are also committed to the decarbonisation cause, ISBA, IPA, AA, APA  and will be educating their members and stimulating discussion regarding all things Virtual Production.

     

    We will be working closely with all parties and will evolve to incorporate a carbon calculator into all productions filmed with Silverscape.

  • ​Our first Silverscape Studio will be located in the Greater Manchester Area - already a hub for creative excellence.

     

    Manchester is widely recognised as the UK’s number one regional creative talent marketplaces.

    Home to the BBC, Google, IBM, and Media City, this vibrant, cosmopolitan city houses multiple sound stages and award winning creative businesses (over 500 creative and tech companies are based in the City) alongside a multiplicity of digital marketing agencies.

    Manchester has led the way in driving film and television production up North, and has a wide range of stunning and diverse locations from its historic city centre to the surrounding peak district. Image by Mylo Kaye.

  • Key to SilverScape's ambitious plans lies in the establishment of a dedicated virtual production studio complex in the UK. This all-encompassing facility brings together cutting-edge technologies - including LED volumes, which can project content in three dimensions and create an immersive and interactive experience for actors and creatives. It also provides operational expertise, and end-to-end production capabilities all 'under one roof.’ 

     

    Coming soon:

    • State of the art fully equipped VP Lsound stages

    • Volumetric Capture

    • Motion Capture

    • Green Screen

    • Production Office space

    • Production Build space
