Moments in Motion: Recent Work From MRMC & MrMoco Rentals
MRMC and MrMoco Rentals are now part of MultiDyne. The ownership has changed, but the teams and the expertise behind the motion remain the same. Here is a look behind some of the moments we have recently captured, across film, live events and brand, each one showing what MRMC’s motion control makes possible.

JD SPORTS X ON RUNNING
We collaborated with Sticker Studios on an exciting campaign for JD Sports x On Running, shot in the heart of London using the BOLT-X high-speed robotic camera system.
The challenge here was for timings, as these were critical to the performances – requiring the hero performance to be shot forwards and the effects performances shot with the camera move in reverse.
With only a limited daylight window on location, pre-production was imperative. At the tech recce ahead of the shoot, we captured a detailed 3D LiDAR scan of the location.
Working closely with director Luke Brookner, we reviewed a rough version of the desired move filmed during the recce, then used the LiDAR data to build a 3D tech-vis of the shot. This allowed the move to be programmed and positioned virtually with the BOLT-X before arriving on location, so the creative and technical teams could align on the shot design and identify any challenges well in advance.
With the required rail positions already mapped and plotted from the tech-vis, the team moved quickly into setup, saving valuable production time.The move was then handed to the BOLT-X operator for final on-set refinement with Luke and DOP Ben Cotgrove, where live adjustments matched the creative vision and the speed changes required.

BETMGM — THE REAL DEAL
Multiple systems, multiple environments, incredible style. Combining the power of our BOLT-X high-speed robotic arm with the versatility of our traditional TALOS motion control system, this was filmed over the course of a week across a range of environments, including location, a custom set build and a VP stage.
Using a combination of part runs and multi-pass motion control techniques, the team created a seamless visual journey through the ages of Las Vegas. The precision and repeatability of the motion control systems let us transition effortlessly between eras, holding perfectly matched camera movements while the world evolved around the viewer. We used MAYA and SIMUL8 as part of the workflow to support and refine moves in 3D.

Cash & Carry Kitchens
We travelled to Ireland with our BOLT-X robotic arm to work alongside the team at Rubber Duck.
With a tight production schedule, preparation was key. Using the set dimensions and reference of the planned camera moves, we built a 3D environment to visualise the move in advance and determine the correct rail placement for the BOLT-X and identify any red flags before arriving on set.
Although pre-production was completed ahead of the shoot, the move itself was very much programmed on the day.
