As a content-first agency, we are committed to producing standout content in a crowded media landscape.
Our motion control system, paired with our expert team, empowers us to craft spectacular imagery marked by precision, speed, and consistency.
This enables audiences to dive into a realm of extraordinary visuals, capturing their attention and lifting your brand to new heights.
He's fast as lightning, sees everything, and is an all=around great guy.
With the help of our friend Scott the Bot, we are able to capture images from angles and perspectives that are simply unattainable by human operators. This technology not only extends beyond the limits of human capability but also enhances the visual experience, revealing details and scenes that are usually invisible to the naked eye.
By leveraging precise and fluid motion control, we provide the tools to explore and showcase the unseen beauty of our world. This allows audiences to experience breathtaking visuals that transcend ordinary viewing, inviting them into a truly extraordinary visual journey.
As human operators, we make mistakes *gasp!* But with motion control, we are able to execute complex, repeatable movements with an unmatched level of accuracy.
Each motion sequence can be meticulously programmed down to the millisecond, ensuring that every captured frame is intentional and impactful. This capability is crucial for achieving the perfect shot in scenarios where timing and positioning are critical.
With more flexibility than a yoga master and longer reach than Inspector Gadget’s go-go gadget arms, we are able to coordinate intricate movements between the camera and actors to precisely time sequences with triggers and special effects like fire and smoke with flawless execution.
This level of choreography enhances the storytelling by enabling dynamic and visually captivating complex and artistically executed sequences.
Simply put, our cinema robot, Scott, is pretty damn fast. We’d be willing to wager he’d beat Usain Bolt in a race. This is essential for capturing high-speed footage at rates like 1,000 frames per second for playback at standard cinematic speeds such as 24 frames per second.
This results in movements that appear 40 times slower than normal to the human eye, requiring our camera movements to be precisely 40 times faster than natural motion. This lets us capture every fleeting detail, turning fast-moving subjects into mesmerizing visual spectacles with unmatched clarity and impact.
Our team excels in revealing the exquisite details of your products through precise macro movements and shots. By focusing on the unique textures and features that make each product special, we showcase the intricacies that captivate and entice.
This level of detail highlights the craftsmanship and quality of your offerings and enhances their desirability, allowing customers to fully appreciate the beauty and sophistication of your products.
Our motion control system allows us to achieve exact repeatability of camera movements, which is essential for certain shots. This capability also enables us to shoot multiple video layers and seamlessly merge them into a single shot.
Why is this important? The ability to repeat exact movements allows us to do things like create cloned characters or incorporate various visual elements all at once. This precision enables flawless match cuts and perfectly timed sequences with triggers and other dynamic elements.
Want to see into the future? And no, it doesn’t require a crystal ball. Our pre-vis process allows our clients to conceptualize and refine their projects before actual production begins. This process helps in mapping out complex scenes, understanding spatial dynamics, and planning precise camera movements, significantly reducing costly trial-and-error on set.
By visualizing the end result in advance, clients can make informed decisions about creative and technical aspects, ensuring that every shot aligns perfectly with their vision.

Pre-visualization allows us to creatively and technically iterate before we get on set, allowing us to reduce costs and improve the quality of the shots. Let’s share an example! We needed to bring the robot on location to a real kitchen but we didn’t need the robot in the kitchen to program the shots. We were able to simply capture a 3d scan of the kitchen, import it into our software, and program the shots in our own studio. We could even rehearse the shots ahead of time and fine tune it. Then when we got on set, most of the work was already done and we could focus on the performance and image, rather than technical troubleshooting.
It can range from 1 minute to 30 minutes or more, depending on the complexity of the shot. Most of the time is spent on lighting and styling. On average, we can get around 10 to 40 shots a day, depending on the complexity.
Small adjustments like position, orientation, keyframe interpolation and time remapping can be adjusted very quickly. Adjustments involving speed, target tracking, orbit and organic movement take longer.
Yes, the robot sits on a motorized base and can be transported and driven around. The legs of the robot slide out so it can drive through a standard doorway. It weighs 2500 lbs and is powered with 3-phase power. Generally, we will bring a generator to run it on set.
Visual engineering combines elements of science, art, and technology to produce visually stunning and technically complex imagery for commercials and other visual media. It involves using advanced equipment, such as high-speed cameras, precision robotics, pneumatics, motors, and custom-built rigs to capture dynamic and intricate shots that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional filming techniques.
Our cinema robot helps bring your video to the next level and captures the audience's attention due to its unique capabilities. The precision movement, repeatable motion, and unique angles make for a captivating and engaging video. Rather than costly and time-consuming CG product shots, we can shoot your real product!
Yes, of course! We include live video conferencing, so you can view a live feed of our camera and communicate with our team during the shoot. No worries if you can't be there or wouldn't like to. With our clear and comprehensive pre-production, there will be no surprises, and we will communicate every step of the way.
Please contact us, and we'll discuss your project. It depends on the scope of the project.
We are happy to work with you! Just reach out, and we’ll discuss how we can integrate motion control into your project! We have a large array of production equipment, a studio space, and a specialized team ready to help!
