MOTION
Motion control is one of the few filmmaking tools where precision is the entire point: a camera move repeated identically, frame for frame, take after take. We own our motion control rig outright. It lives in-house, it's maintained by our team, and it's available on our schedule, not a rental house's. That matters when a shoot depends on getting a single reflection, a single gesture, or a single light pass exactly right, sometimes across dozens of takes over several days.

MOBILE, EVEN OUTDOORS
Unlike most motion control setups, which are bolted to a fixed studio floor, ours is mobile. We can break it down, transport it, and rebuild it on location, which means we're not limited to controlled indoor environments. We shoot motion control sequences outdoors, in natural light, on real terrain, something that's genuinely rare for this kind of equipment. It opens up a different register of storytelling: the mechanical precision of motion control combined with the texture and unpredictability of an outdoor setting.
REPEATABLE MOVES, BUILT FOR VFX
A motion control move isn't just repeatable for its own sake: it's what makes clean compositing possible. When a shot needs to combine multiple passes, a product plate, a lighting pass, a CG element, an identical camera move every time is what lets them line up without patching it together in post. We use the same rig for a product shoot that needs the exact same framing across five lighting setups, or for a plate built for visual effects downstream.
FROM PRODUCT SHOTS TO LUXURY FILMS
We built the rig for our own luxury brand work, watches and jewellery, where a single reflection or gesture has to be exactly right. It now travels with us to other projects that need the same precision: luxury brand films, creative advertising campaigns, and motion design sequences that combine live footage with CG.

WHAT CLIENTS ASK
ABOUT THE RIG
01.
What is motion control actually used for?
Repeating a camera move identically, frame for frame, take after take. That's essential for product shots that need to match across lighting setups, and for plates built to receive visual effects.
02.
Is your rig available on demand, or does it need to be rented in?
It's ours. It lives in-house, we maintain it, and it's available on our schedule, not a rental house's.
03.
Can you shoot motion control outdoors?
Yes, and that's genuinely rare for this kind of equipment. We can break the rig down, transport it, and rebuild it on location, so we're not limited to a studio floor.
04.
Does motion control help with VFX integration?
Yes. An identical, repeatable camera move is what lets a live-action plate line up cleanly with a CG element or a separate lighting pass, without patching it together in post.
05.
How much does a motion control shoot cost?
It can be rented for 1500 € plus an operator or it could be included in our productions !
