Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of using motion control when it comes to the post-production?
In post-production, the quality of the original footage is crucial, and motion control plays a key role in delivering that quality which translate in significant post-production cost savings. Often behind the scenes, motion control enables seamless integration of real-world footage with CGI and digital effects, creating flawless visual layers. While powerful post-production software gets much of the attention, it's the precise motion control footage that makes these effects possible.
Additionally, motion control makes it easy to export the camera trajectory and perspective to post-production tools, allowing for accurate, effortless integration of CGI elements like backgrounds and foregrounds. Without motion control, these high-end effects wouldn't be possible.
