Motion control: Milo at work

[kuban]

Here is a video that is showing how a motion control camera works. You will see Milo in action. Here is the website:

And directlink to quicktime movie:

On the website, you can get some FAQ and techniques about Milo. But it is in turkish only! The video above doesn’t need much talk. Just watch it, it is funny. However it would have been much better, if we had subtitles. Maybe we can do it next week.

Hi kuban

Jay From France
Worked on commercial recently shot with milo.
we didn’t acheive to import camera data from
milo, try to import it, in flame, didn’t worked 3DS MAX and xsi the same.
Is there a special things to do , did we missed something.

And worse, on some shot, the movement wasn’t exactly the same, speed varation trouble and position too. A real pain

Have you ever had that kind of trouble?

Cheers

That must have been an expensive shoot. Maybe the insurance companies cover this?

[Saran Sirikasamsap]

Didn’t work, All was stabilized on flame, a real pain !!

It is like a car, you have to know how to drive it. If you don’t drive it carefully, you can easily crash it.

Here is a good way to integrate your CG moves with Milo shoots. It works inside Maya.
