When it comes to visual storytelling, motion control is a powerful way to create seamless video transitions between scenes, like moving from a close-up on a product logo to a wide-angle reveal.
I design and build custom motion control rigs for both cameras and objects, enabling pre-programmed, repeatable, and perfectly smooth moves. This ensures every take matches the creative vision down to the smallest detail; from lighting and shadows to product or talent styling.
Live Action
I’ve perfected my rigs to run so smoothly that there are no noticeable vibrations, delivering clean, stable live-action shots. These moves make possible camera angles and transitions that would be nearly impossible to capture any other way.
Stop Motion
Motion control camera moves are a perfect match for stop motion sets. While the animator adjusts the puppets frame by frame, the camera advances in tiny, precise increments to its next shooting position. At each stop, it waits for the animator to perfect the pose, captures a still, and then moves on, creating a perfectly smooth camera move that blends seamlessly with the animation.
Object
There’s something magical about objects that appear to move on their own. Of course, they’re not moving by themselves. It’s the work of custom-built rigs that bring them to life. A bottle can spin in a perfectly smooth arc, or a chocolate bar wrapper can unfold in flawless sync with the visual story.
