Like many other equipment, cranes are an essential part of creating magic when it comes to production. For both the TV and film industry standard equipment is a must.

With our cranes at NMT, you can be sure to get the picture perfect results you are after. For those new to the industry or looking for an upgrade in production, here are some of the main reasons that cranes are essential for film and TV.  

• Smooth High-Angle Shots
  Cranes let the camera rise above the scene to give a bird’s-eye view. This is great for showing the size of a location, following crowds, or capturing wide, dramatic shots without cutting between angles.

• Professional Camera Movement
  A crane helps the camera move smoothly in ways that feel natural and controlled. Unlike handheld shots, crane footage doesn’t shake or wobble.

• Reaching Difficult Angles
  Cranes can move over obstacles like cars, fences, or buildings. They’re great for tight sets or scenes that need a camera to rise up, drop down, or move across levels.

• Adds Cinematic Style
  Crane shots are often used in big-budget films because they instantly make scenes feel polished.

• Supports Heavy Camera Gear
  Cranes can carry professional cameras and equipment that other rigs can’t. This allows crews to use the best gear for quality footage, while still getting flexible movement.

• Used for Complex Scenes
  In scenes with lots of extras or action, cranes help coordinate movement and timing. The camera can follow the action without getting in the way, giving directors more freedom to plan shots.
