Motion Control + Stop Motion Animation

What's fun about stop motion is anyone with an iPhone and an idea can make something come to life in a magical way. There is so much fun content out there that we are constantly consuming! Of course, when we shoot stop motion, we strive to make it the best it can be and we have a lot of fun tools to help us achieve special looks.
Motion control rigs can really make a scene stand out from other content. We use a wide range of robotics and computerized controllers to program rigs to move frame by frame in a stop motion format. This allows us to get interesting camera moves instead of just a locked off shot from a tripod.
​
​A Case Study....S'more:
Picture
You notice a camera track and pan as the marshmallow jumps on to the crack. It's a subtle move but offers a lot to the shot. The ability to repeat this same camera move over and over very precisely allows us to make multiple passes and remove rigging or clean up anything in the shot that should not be in the final video.
