Scaled Motion Control

*Video Courtesy of: New Line Cinema


Realtime scaling of Hobbits and Gandalf in Bilbo's house. An Encoded Jib drives our Genuflex Mk lll motion control system in real time to make Gandalf appear bigger than the Hobbits.




"How did we shrink down the actors on set in real-time?! "

In this presentation, we used an Encoded 30ft Technocrane that "drove" the Genuflex Mk III to demonstrate scaled shooting with a composite of both camera views in real-time.
