About us

Since 2002 we are renting out cinema and audiovisual equipment – from filmmakers for filmmakers. We work hard to make the best possible films and like to help others who have the same goal. In times of extremly fast developing technology we are keen to find the best equipment for your next film project.

With our production PIANOMANIA we found a way to combine fly-on-the-wall sound recording with elaborate classical music recordings. Symphonic orchestras, as well as freely acting characters were the source of a new kind of experience in documentary sound recording. OVAL and its team owe their German Oscar for best sound (Deutscher Filmpreis für den besten Ton) to this work. In 2015, we had three projects in virtual reality, with different set-ups. Latest news it that Michel Reilhac’s “Viens!” premiered in Sundance in January 2016. We love to explore this new dimension together with top-notch creative technologists.

Whether you have a no-, a low or a high budget production – a high resolution camera set-up helps to have a better result. Please try the RED Epic Dragon, with the only setup which can fully expose the 6K Chip with a short focal lens (Leica Summicron-C).

We are open to support any great idea would love to discuss the technical challenges of your project!
