Motion Control – Filmmaking with optical illusions & layers of time – Epic Episode #12

We are going to show you how robotic motion control works, and how precise it can be.
Together with the High End production house "The Marmalade" we built our own real life optical illusion using forced perspective and different layers of time. And, we are going to take you through the production from concept to post.
Also, we show you how you can use motion control with relative affordable gear in your projects… for example to create surprisingly realistic miniatures with the help of programable sliders.

[mr_nemo]

This video deserves every filmaker attention

[GeraldBertramPhotography]

How Media Division isn't at 1 million subs is beyond me. There is no videography channel with better production than this one. Absolutely love the long form video of this channel. Thank you!!

[imabigsandwich]

Wow! This episodes screams quality, packed with rich information about how professionals work, and how we can achieve them. I can't believe you don't have 5 million subscribers already, this is just insane! And I would imagine the recent jibone from elderkrone would also be a useful tool, having able to control up and down motion of the camera, creating an even richer image. But I just want to say a massive thank you to people like you who puts out free content as epic as this, hopefully your channel will be exploding in popularity soon!

This is like the discovery channel of filmmaking. Absolutely one of the best filmmaking educational channels I’ve ever come across and couldn’t recommend it more.

Now this is a video upload notification that STOPS ME WORKING AND MAKES ME CLIMB OVER A DESK to see.

I'm gonna comment knowing that even without yet fully watching this episode it's gonna be fantastic. Coming back to the channel and each time the subscriber count is going up like crazy. Seems like you have indeed defeated Youtube's algorythm. Quality over quantity.
