HOW CAN CYPRUS PILOT MAKE AN IMPACT?

Database enrichment with new content

Key Cypriot locations will be integrated, making them easily accessible for filmmakers worldwide.

Remote Pre-Production Showcase

Demonstrating a new, digital-first approach to pre-production and location scouting using 3D models, lighting, and audio simulation

Cultural Heritage Promotion

Cyprus’s historical sites will gain global visibility, enhancing both tourism and film industry appeal.

Lower Environmental Impact

Calculating CO₂ savings from avoided travel using Ecopassenger data—quantifying the ecological value of remote pre-production.

Cost Savings via Virtual Tools

Tracking decreased travel and accommodation costs through the use of remote scouting technologies, showing clear financial benefits.

Platform-Driven Audience Reach

Monitoring teaser views, interactions, and user interest to assess SCENE’s potential as a digital distribution and promotion tool.

Pilot Scenario

A short film will be developed by GOF to demonstrate the functionality and benefits of the SCENE platform. The film will utilize SCENE’s tools, including 3D location scouting, audience engagement features, social media campaigns, audience preference analysis, platform recommendations, and streamlined distribution. It will be produced entirely in Cyprus, showcasing its cultural heritage sites and filming potential. Once completed, the short film will be distributed through the SCENE platform using decentralized smart contracts.

Pre-production

Location Scouting Tool: Utilized by the director and production team to assess the suitability of each filming site, considering accessibility and lighting conditions. This tool helps plan the shooting schedule, addressing logistical concerns, including crowd control and permits.
3D Modeling: This tool is essential for the remote recce and the pre-production phase of the film, especially for foreign productions
Lighting and Audio Simulation Tools: During location scouting and pre-production will enable a more in-depth exploration of location potential, allowing for the simulation of various scenarios to meet specific filming requirements

Post – Production

Light and Audio Effects : These post-production tools, as an extension of the editing software allow to add extra effects that are specific for the locations used

Distribution

Distribution Engine: This pilot will employ a distribution engine and a recommendation system designed to identify the most effective distribution options, whether targeting specific countries, festivals, events, or local channels,
Blockchain: A crucial component of the Cyprus pilot is the integration of blockchain technology to ensure the security and management of intellectual property rights (IPR).
