During the recent filming of SFX sequences in Harry Potter, The Mill/Warner Bros used motion control for an estimated 70% of the scenes. A combination of 3 Mark Roberts Milos and a Cyclops were involved. In addition to the camera another feature requiring motion control was the movement of Harry Potter’s broomstick. This was filmed using a large high-speed model mover, part of the Mark Roberts Cyclops system. 

Harry Potter also took advantage of the common trend for pre-visualisation on large productions. All the scenes were pre-visualised on 3D graphics workstations. Then the data was directly transferred to Flair (Mark Roberts Motion Control Software) running the motion control rigs.
