Timelapse, Motion Control and Custom Rigs
Do you want to do cool eye catching product shots ?
Repeatably do the same shot for different products in the same setup ?
Want the product to do cool moves too ?
Need us to build custom rigs to do that ?
Animated lighting in sync with the camera and products moving ?
Jumping or flying things in the shot ?
Even do coordinated virtual set as backgrounds ?
Got it, no problem, lets get it done !
Tell your story differently. Show processes that can take hours or days happen in seconds. Precision repeatable motion control rigs can run multiple passes with pixel perfect alignment. This precision is great for visual effects or eye catching shots that keep your audience paying attention because it’s just cool. Its not something they have seen before and catches their curiosity to keep watching.
We have rigs that range from simple, self contained and battery powered up to a more complex rig run by DragonFrame from our custom magliner cart holding all the support electronics. Our cart makes location work much faster and easier when you can roll in with a lot of the gear ready to power on. DragonFrame integrates not just control of the basic camera head. Dragonframe integrates with a zDMC-16 I/O controller, custom stepper motor controller, BlackMagic Design 4K Ultra for video camera input and preview output, provides DMX for control of multiple RGBWW lights & dimmers that run in perfect sync with the move. We can automate a lot of moving things in a “simple” shot that can turn out to be pretty complex with all day repeatability. This reduces the number of takes and brings precision to needs like repeat the same shot but change product item.
Our rig is easy to transport and setup on location. It was a custom magliner cart with most of the hardware in a rack, all the cabling on board as well. An articulating arm holds a HD or 4K monitor. Its a very nice fast to work with rig, ready to go.
