Motion Control
Light & Motion operates in conjunction with our sister company Tasty Pictures. You can meet Fred & Barney – our high speed motion control robots.
Fred and Barney
“Fred” is the larger of the robots and is one of the fastest camera movement rigs in the world making him an ideal tool for high speed cinematography.
As well as high speed moves he is also very precise allowing for camera moves that were simply impossible before now.
