The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Technical Achievement Award goes to the Tiny-Fogger-Series
One Academy Award ceremony that will definitely be going ahead is the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards, due to take place at The Beverly Wiltshire on Saturday, February 9, 2008.
These prestigious Awards differ from other Academy Awards. They are not restricted to achievements made in 2007, but are awarded to those who can “demonstrate a proven record of contributing significant value to the process of making motion pictures.”
With this in mind, the Academy has decided that Jörg Pöhler and Rüdiger Kleinke from Ottec Technology GmbH should receive a Technical Achievement Award (Academy Certificate) for the design and development of the battery-operated series of fog machines known as Tiny-Foggers. Their work was one of ten Scientific and Technical achievements honoured by the Academy this year from a short-list of twenty five.
The operating characteristics of this compact, well-engineered and remote-controllable range of fog machines brings to the film and entertainment industry a range of safe, special effects that would be totally impractical with larger, more conventional, fog units.
Among the motion pictures which have employed the Tiny-Fogger are Spider-Man 3, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, The Producers and The Pink Panther starring Steve Martin.
“We congratulate Ottec on this great honour and we are proud, as the exclusive distributor of the Tiny-Series, to be a part of the great success of these machines,” says Kirsten Eicher of Look Solutions. The Ottec distribution is in good hands with Look Solutions who have forty distributors worldwide and a subsidiary in the USA.
“It is a good feeling to know that the energy and determination Ottec and Look Solutions have put into building up our American subsidiary, since we started it in 2004, has resulted in this award! We regard this as recognition of our good work in past years and as a spur for the work we want to continue in the future.“
The first Tiny-Fogger entered the market in 1998 when, with its tiny dimensions and lightweight, the machine was an innovation. The theatre and movie scenes were delighted because it presented, for the first time, a machine that was small enough to be concealed in costumes and props – a feature which helps retain its popularity to this day!
This was followed by the Tiny-Compact, an all-in-one version, which came on the market in 2000, followed by the more powerful Power-Tiny in 2003. In 2007, Look Solutions presented new versions Tiny F07 and Tiny C07 with a more robust vaporiser and refined improvements on the already successful original.
Look Solutions will be exhibiting at the Prolight+Sound Trade Fair at Messe Frankfurt 12 – 15 March 2008 where the full range of smoke machines will be on show on their stand: Hall 9 Walkway E Stand 29.
