Submitting documents for an Oscar award, Anatoliy Kokush tried to formalize his invention under the original name “Autorobot” in order to avoid mentioning the “Russian Arm” name that had become familiar to Hollywood. However, he was advised not to do this: otherwise the American academics would not have understood what was at stake. True, thanks to the ceremony host, the name of Kokush's latest development – U-crane – still sounded, and today the most versatile robotic arm in the world is used in film-making under this name.
Kokush’s innovation was that he combined a crane with a gyroscope, teaching the camera to fly without reacting to external shocks. This technology was revolutionary for the late 1980s and the name of the Filmotechnic company, which developed and produced camera cranes on the territory of the Dovzhenko film studios in Kyiv, eventually became a household name and is associated with the world-class, first-rate quality.
Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Luc Besson and many other top film directors wanted to shoot only using Kokush’s arm. This is how Titanic, War of the Worlds, Taxi, Harry Potter and an impressive list of other films appeared that became blockbusters thanks to the design engineer born in the family of Krymchak Jews in Kerch, wrote Boris Lozhkin on Facebook.
