WP2 - Shoot Update on Achievements
Shoot is about knowing what we have in the North Sea region across locations, facilities, studios and crew and using this information to promote the North Sea Region and attract more production and post-production.
Goals
The focus of Shoot was to attract investment with a focus on screen production but across all kinds of media and promote the North Sea Region to the global screen and media sectors
Achievements
The Shoot team worked alongside policy makers and funding and tourism agencies to raise awareness of the opportunities for, and benefits and challenges of, attracting production to the North Sea region and widely promoted NSR screen locations helping to raise the global profile of the region. This included team promotion at major
industry events and working together to provide information on production services, supporting agencies and incentives in addition to offering production support and advice throughout the region.
Achievements are:
- Creating an innovative, trans-national network of screen offices with protocols on service levels, for joint promotion of the North Sea Region, sharing knowledge on service delivery and jointly supporting inward and indigenous production.
- Promoting the North Sea Region to the global media production sector and beyond as a globally competitive hub for screen production, post-production and location filming.
- Screen presence has a major impact on tourism decisions and the general credibility of regions for inward investment and indigenous economic development – NSSP has worked with regional and national tourism and economic development agencies on strategies for screen tourism that help to maximise the benefits of screen production at NSR locations and has also developed pilot screen tourism mobile apps.
