Recent developments in each city are placed in the context of international audiovisual production dynamics, and are considered in terms of the ways they inter- sect with a range of policy thinking. They are at once part of particular urban revitalisation agendas, industry development planning, city branding and image-making strategies, and new thinking about film policy at national and sub-national levels. The article views studio complexes through four frames: as particular kinds of studio complex development; as “locomotives” driving a variety of related industries; as “stargates” enabling a variety of transformations, including the remediation of contaminated, derelict or outmoded land controlled by public authorities or their agents close to the centre of each city; and as components of the entrepreneurial, internationally oriented city.

  • Fox Studios Australia
    Submission 92 FOX STUDIOS AUSTRALIA Fox Studios Australia’s submission to the House Standing Committee on Communications and the Arts Inquiry into Factors Contributing to the Growth and Sustainability of the Australian Film and Television Industry Overview 20th Century Fox appreciates the opportunity to respond to the House Standing Committee on Communications and the Arts Inquiry into the factors contributing to the growth and sustainability of the Australian film and television industry. Film and TV production is a global business, but 20th Century Fox is extremely proud to be a vital member of the Australian arts community. Moreover, it has proven to be excellent business to further align and integrate ourselves with all of the talent and creativity that is bursting out of Australia. We are extremely proud of our presence in Australia and our contributions to truly make Sydney - a City of Film. The Fox Studios Lot not only provides the critical infrastructure for major international productions, these productions are also attracted to the ecosystem on the Fox campus of cutting edge businesses across the creative, digital and knowledge sectors which employs over 2,500 people directly and has become a global centre of excellence. Animal Logic situated on the Fox campus is a great example of this. The Studio has attracted over $2B historically in production from the US and UK and increasingly from China and India since 1999 and helped establish Australia and NSW as the Creative/Digital industries Hub. Economically Deloitte estimates the sector contributes $3B in GDP contribution and over 22,000 jobs. For more comprehensive comments on this inquiry, 20th Century Fox would like to direct you to the submission by the Australian Film & TV Bodies.

  • ECOS Green Report Focuses on State Environmental Agency Use of UAS,1 Actual and Potential Benefits, and Current and Planned Uses by the Spotlighted State Agencies
    February 2021 GREEN REPORT State Environmental Agency Modernization — Leveraging Unmanned Aerial Systems to Improve Environmental Results By Paulina Lopez-Santos, Project Associate, under the direction of Beth Graves, Executive Project Manager, Environmental Council of the States (ECOS) Copyright ©2021 by the Environmental Council of the States INTRODUCTION Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have emerged as an important tool for state environmental agencies to quickly obtain data, more effectively respond to emergencies, and ensure worker safety while improving environmental results. UAS encompasses unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) (without a human pilot on board), commonly referred to as drones, as well as the person controlling the flight on the ground and a system of communications between the two. State environmental agencies have long been drivers of innovative approaches and programs to maximize environmental protection. ECOS has highlighted many examples through its annual State Program Innovation Awards, including modernized document management systems, new ways to interface with communities and share data, self-auditing programs, and more effective inspection and permitting programs. Use of UAS contributes to the continued evolution of state environmental agency approaches. This ECOS Green Report focuses on state environmental agency use of UAS,1 actual and potential benefits, and current and planned uses by the spotlighted state agencies. Each identified state environmental agency drone program is highlighted in more detail in the latter part of this report, including a summary of each state program along with benefits, current and planned activities, application highlights, lessons learned, state contacts, and links and resources. 1 In this report, the term “drone,” UAS, and UAV are used interchangeably or depending upon state preference.
