18 BSC EXPO 2018 ONES TO WATCH

13 MOLE-RICHARDSON (STAND 105) Mole-Richardson was formed in Los Angeles, CA in 1927 by Peter Mole, to provide advanced lighting solutions for the then rapidly advancing motion picture industry. One of their most significant introductions in those early years was the fresnel focusing lens. Combined with tried- and-tested optics, fresnels have been a staple of the motion picture and television industry ever since. Last year Mole-Richardson introduced Variable-Color solid-state LED fresnels, which combine the light quality, output and control that’s synonymous with the Mole name, while adding the flexibility of variable white colour temperature control, green/magenta correction and multiple user interface options. This year the Vari LED family will be expanded considerably, introducing new members that will include the Vari-Baby, Vari-Junior, Vari-Studio Junior and Vari-Senior LEDs. www.mole.com 14 MOTION IMPOSSIBLE (STAND 436) Set up in August 2014 by BAFTA award-winning cameraman Rob Drewett and experienced product design engineer Andy Nancollis, Motion Impossible (MI) is an equipment manufacturer and production company that has as its remit a passion to create new and innovative ways to move cameras in film, TV and 360° VR. The company is the creator of the Mantis Dolly system, which moves and stabilises VR/360º and film cameras, and MI’s filming side, MI Films. At the show they will be showing their new Agito platform. Whilst the Mantis has already made its mark within the VR/360° market, Motion Impossible has made it its mission to continue the development of the product for the Broadcast market. This has culminated in the launch of Agito – a robotic dolly system that can make recordable moves on the ground. motion-impossible.com 15 PANALUX (STAND 502) Panalux offers the world of film, TV and media production the very best in lighting rental equipment and associated studio facilities.
