Motion Control Robots represent a significant advancement in video production, blending the precision of robotics with creative visual storytelling. These machines are designed for precise and repeatable complex camera movements, enabling shots that would be challenging or impossible manually.
Unlike traditional filming methods, Motion Control Robots can execute detailed and rapid movements, from fluid arcs to precise positioning and focus mapping. This control is vital for creating visual effects, especially when integrating CGI with live-action footage, ensuring perfect alignment and synchronization in every take.
At 2D House, we utilize a range of Mark Roberts Motion Control robots, including the Bolt Cinebot, Milo Crane and Bolt Jr+:

The Bolt Junior + is a compact, lighter-weight high-speed camera robot with similar capabilities to its big brother, the Bolt Cinebot. At half the weight of the Bolt, the Bolt Junior + is an ideal solution for working in smaller spaces or on location. When placed on a track, the Bolt Junior + becomes an even more powerful tool for productions by offering more maneuverability.
