ABOUT

Occulus films is an independent film maker in Phoenix AZ, who is also a rental partner of NUE. Nick is an active duty national guardsman who established Occulus after returning from Active Duty. As a young company, Nick is looking to differentiate his offering as a film rental company from others, NUE products are a great way to bring reliable power to his custom base and for his own projects as well. 

PROBLEM

• The need for portable power to make the shots
• Generators are not welcome in residential settings
• Speed and mobility is key to a film shoot
• Lighting remains one of the largest loads in the film industry, now that cameras have gone digital

NUE SOLUTION: SunCase 3651

• The portability of the units is key to setting up shots and simplifies the planning process for the shoot.
• Bringing a light weight product, that doesn't require any further infrastructure, is where a traditional generator doesn't make sense. The NUE SunCase provides quick and easy power, and no worries about 'will it start' when 'time is money' and putting the unit out of sight is key.
• Generators are loud and extra considerations must be taken into account when powering for a shot. NUE is silent power that remains discrete and can be hidden/incorporated into the shot due to its small footprint.
• The product has already been used in 3 film productions and one commercial shoot. Power would have been difficult to find, due the high power usage already on site. The product allowed for versatility in bringing extra light to do the professional job that customers were expecting from the shoot.

Occulus plans to continue to use the SunCase, because of its versatility, reliability, small footprint and it is quiet.
