With this in mind, the Academy has decided that Jörg Pöhler and Rüdiger Kleinke from Ottec Technology GmbH should receive a Technical Achievement Award (Academy Certificate) for the design and development of the battery-operated series of fog machines known as Tiny-Foggers. Their work was one of ten Scientific and Technical achievements honoured by the Academy this year from a short-list of 25.
Among the motion pictures which have employed the Tiny-Fogger are Spider-Man 3, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, The Producers and The Pink Panther starring Steve Martin.
"We congratulate Ottec on this great honour and we are proud, as the exclusive distributor of the Tiny-Series, to be a part of the great success of these machines," says Kirsten Eicher of Look Solutions which has 40 distributors worldwide and a subsidiary in the USA.
"It is a good feeling to know that the energy and determination Ottec and Look Solutions have put into building up our American subsidiary, since we started it in 2004, has resulted in this award. We regard this as recognition of our good work in past years and as a spur for the work we want to continue in the future."
