5. Come into my World Another example of Gondry's peerless mastery of the motion control camera.
ILM's first breakthrough: a motion control camera, which could revolve repeatedly around stationary objects while remaining in constant focus, thus simulating flight.
The set was filmed with a motion control camera, and was inserted with miniature explosives and smoke bombs for special effect.
Rather than try to match and combine camera pans of each element, each component was shot with a static camera and the pan was added to the resulting composite by a motion control camera.
"The film uses a number of effects disciplines including animatronics, puppetry, motion control camera work, rod removal and a full CGI neck animation in the final outro, so with a very low budget it was ambitious, to say the least".
It's like pitching Star Wars in 1977 with a well-edited trailer that's exclusively about blue-screens, motion-control cameras and scale model TIE-fighters.
In a second film, a hi-tech motion-control camera focuses and refocuses on a glutinous mass of 30m-year-old amber, finding fragments of insects caught in the globs of fossilised sap, including what is apparently the oldest known example of copulating mosquitos, all to an amplified soundtrack of whirrs and jolts from the camera's servos.
The sequence in which multiple Alien Bounty Hunters appear involved the use of motion control, a method in which a motion-control camera on a computerized module is repeatedly run through the same motion while elements are continually added.
This research aims to evaluate new methods for robot motion control and camera orientation control through the operator's head orientation in robot teleoperation tasks.
For post-production applications, the value for R F can be equal to one, but for applications of motion control based on camera information, the realism of the movement is important, so the reliability factor should decrease to zero.
