An All-Terrain Techno 15 for director Jean Jacques Annaud.
A Loumasystems Techno 15 (15’ telescopic portable crane) has been used all along the whole production of “His Majesty Minor”, the new Jean Jacques Annaud mythological comedy, superbly photographed by D.o.P Jean Marie Dreujou (Two Brothers, The Girl on the Bridge).
Most of the production sets were remote, wild, steep hills by the sea side near Alicante (Spain). The small weight and high portability of the Techno 15 has been a real asset for the production and the cinematographers have been able to keep a full control on the camera mobility thanks to the Loumasystems crane. The Techno 15 has notably been used on the opening sequence where the camera flies above several sleepy pigs until it reaches a close up of the main character, Minor, impersonated by actor Jose Garcia.

Louma 2 helps Jacques Clouseau on Pink Panther 2
The director and operator of the new remake of the classic comedy needed a telescopic crane for their Parisian coverage of the new adventures of the famous inspector.
Having to shoot in busy streets at the very heart of Paris, a stone’s throw from the president Sarkozy’s palace, the production and the cinematographers had a very tight schedule and were looking for fast and efficient ways of shooting. The answer came naturally from the new Louma 2 crane, a new generation, time saving, telescopic crane which is computer assisted.
Not only is the Louma 2 saving time through the help of its network which facilitate the coordination between the different axis of the crane (Pan and Tilt of the arm, of the head, Telescope, etc.), therefore reducing the number of takes, but it is also very fast to set up, down to 30 minutes with an experienced crew.

The ABC-120 lightweight crane flies above pianist Lang Lang
One ABC-120 lightweight crane from Loumasystems has been used in « Salle Pleyel » for the inauguration of the « Orchestre de Paris » new season, starring the famous pianist Lang Lang. Director Elizabeth Preschey had a serious problem : how could she cover at best the performance of the famous pianist without disturbing the audience. Her problem has been solved through the use of one ABC-120 lightweight crane, installed on tracks on the balcony of the prestigious concert hall. The extreme lightness and thin profile of the crane with its 30 feet long arm and its short rear section has allowed the director to place her camera at close range of the hands of the young prodigy, without being in the way of the public eyesight.
