How Robotface Redefined Motion Control With The Cinebot Mini

As 2024 draws to a close, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the incredible work our mates from down under at Robotface. At the start of the year, we approached them with an exciting challenge: as one of the first clients to receive a Cinebot Mini, we asked them to explore seven unique use cases that would push the boundaries of what’s possible with motion control, and its safe to say, Robotface rose to the occasion.

Powerful Tools for Next Level Virtual Production with Steve Giralt

This IBC panel session spotlighted Steve Giralt, the renowned DP and Director from NYC's The Garage, as he delved into his innovative use of MRMC robotics and RED cameras in virtual production. Assaff Rawner, CEO of MRMC, and Dan Duran from RED shared expert insights on the groundbreaking applications of their products in the evolving industry, while Milo Hancock from Disguise provided an in-depth overview of Disguise's cutting-edge virtual production technology.

Why I Chose the Cinebot Mini

The Cinebot Mini is revolutionising motion control for filmmakers, offering portability, precision, and efficiency at an affordable price. Weighing just 200 lbs (90kg) when assembled, it’s compact enough for a small crew to transport and set up in under an hour. Its lightweight design allows you to easily move it across the set, maximizing the number of shots per day—crucial for production efficiency.

The Super Milo: Where Precision Meets High Speed

MRMC today announced the release of the Super Milo, where macro precision meets high speed. Set to launch this July, the Super Milo promises unparalleled, repeatable camera movements, continuing to revolutionise visual effects creation and solidifying its place as an essential tool for modern cinematographers

30 Years of the Milo

2024 marks a significant milestone in the history of MRMC as it is 30 years since we launched the groundbreaking Milo motion control rig back in 1994. It has become the industry standard for precise and repeatable camera movements in film and television production. The Milo broke the mould of traditional motion control systems as it introduced new advanced robotics that allowed for more complex, repeatable camera moves with higher precision than had been seen before. Stable enough for macro work, and fast enough for live-action shooting, it has remained a game-changer in the film industry.

Zack Snyder and The Slow Mo Guys capture 300-inspired shot with Bolt C

Esteemed director Zack Snyder teamed up with YouTube sensations — The Slow Mo Guys, to capture a dramatic slow-motion shot inspired by 300. Using the Bolt Cinebot, they aimed to hit an apple with a cricket bat in Snyder's signature style. Snyder talks about the challenges he encountered while filming slow motion for 300, including using multiple cameras and a beam splitter for zoom effects. Today, the Bolt Cinebot simplifies this process, providing high-speed precision for smooth, real-time shots.
