32 See you RENT GmbH | Germany From cinema to social media clips – videos are a part of our everyday lives. Whether on the big screen or on a smartphone, videos allow viewers to immerse themselves in another world or a new idea. What is the most essential part of the shoot? The equipment! This can vary from project to project: sometimes, you need a lot of small pieces of equipment, sometimes just a few large pieces – sometimes it needs to be mobile, and sometimes it is set up in a studio. But no matter what accessories are needed for a film project, high-performing batteries are essential. For self-powered work or as a buffer battery, for instance to ensure a camera doesn’t suddenly go out of service during the shoot. Lithium-ion batteries are a good solution for this problem. From the camera to the lens, from the boom to the LED light. Each production needs different equipment. Renting equipment, rather than buying it, is usually an economical solution – and in every case the most sustainable one.

Of course, this was not always the case. Even just a few decades ago, films were recorded using cameras with power-hungry mechanisms and analogue film reels. These cameras were large, heavy, and usually louder than options available today thanks to digital sensors. Lead-gel battery technology was also not powerful enough to keep old analogue cameras and their successors running for long periods of time. This all changed at the start of the 1990s, when a Japanese electronics company developed the first commercial, rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Since one of the company's main LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!
