Robotic Camera Expertise
What is motion control filming?
Motion control uses computer-programmed robotic camera systems that can execute precise, repeatable camera movements. This allows identical moves to be repeated for multiple passes, essential for VFX compositing, and enables moves too fast or precise for human operation.
When should I use motion control?
Motion control is ideal for VFX shots requiring multiple passes (clean plates, lighting passes), product commercials needing precise sweeping moves, high-speed shots with programmed camera movement, and any application requiring frame-accurate repeatability.
What systems do you provide?
We work with major motion control systems including MILO (large-scale moves), Bolt (high-speed robotic arm), Modula, and smaller tabletop rigs. System selection depends on the scale of movement, speed requirements, and payload.
Can motion control work with high-speed cameras?
Yes, motion control systems like Bolt are specifically designed for high-speed work, coordinating fast programmed moves with high-frame-rate cameras. This creates dramatic speed-ramped shots common in commercials.
How do you handle multi-pass shooting?
We program moves that can be repeated identically for each pass—talent pass, clean plate, lighting elements, etc. The precision of motion control ensures all elements align perfectly in compositing.
What about smaller tabletop work?
We provide smaller motion control rigs for tabletop, product, and food photography. These systems offer the same repeatability and precision at a scale suited to small objects and macro work.
