Michel Trudel takes delivery of Power Gems ballasts
One of Canada’s largest film production facilities has taken delivery of Power Gems ballasts.
Locations Michel Trudel/Mel’s Cité du Cinéma Studios in the heart of Montreal, received a shipment of 4kW and 18kW ballasts this week.
As well as the advantages of Power Gems ballasts, the Cité boasts 23 sound stages which attract major film productions to Canada including 300, The Life of Pi and The Aviator. The studio recently hosted X-Men: Days of Future Past for 20th Century Fox, drawn to Montreal by Trudel, which is likely to be followed up with X-Men: Apocalypse, filmed at the same studio.
We’ve been quietly supplying Michel Trudel for more than a decade as it services the international and traditional domestic markets. The latest shipment is the first of our new high speed ballasts, EB1812P, since ramping up production last Autumn. It’s a tremendous achievement, to continue to supply the largest lighting rental houses throughout Canada with the latest additions to the Power Gems range of ballasts.
Yanick Tremblay, Director of the Lighting Department says: “We’ve been impressed with Power Gems over the past 10 years. We compete on the world stage for high profile productions, and the availability of top quality equipment is essential. Power Gems puts us in a particular strong position to meet demand. Their products are reliable and come with excellent customer after-care service with spares and technical updates to older equipment in rental. When looking to invest in high speed electronic ballasts Power Gems are our first choice.”
We at Power Gems are proud to have supplied ballasts that have helped build Mel’s Studios/Cité du Cinema’s reputation in recent years. Long may the relationship continue.
