Dragon spinns around laptops.

[Björn Benckert]

We had the honor to do this little project together with Oskar Lungren, Daniel Lundh and the rest of the talented creatives at Snask.
One day shooting and 3 days of post. All shot with the leica Sumricon C 29mm around F2.6 at 50fps 360 shutter then dealed to 25fps.

Here is a little bts where we tested the move a night before shoot to see that we did not scrape off to much of the lens on the laptop and such.

MoCo is so awesome!

Good job, the final result is very clean.

On a sidenote, can't wait to have a much smaller MoCo rig (Without vibration) for this kind of move

 

[Kwan Khan]

Great

Reach and vibration usually comes hand in hand, smaller rig reaching out further means more vibration. For this move we did not need to remove any vibration in post even though we pretty much run all axis at ones and have the extend and angle axises in full Hitler pose.

so cool Bjorn! Thanks for sharing.

Looks slick Bjorn. How did you go about lining up all the laptops for each setup?

I put a little cross hair laser on a tripod away from set that draw a line where the bottom of each screen should be. Which worked well, but forgot to turn it off a couple of times when shooting, but luckily we managed to spot it before tearing down the set so we could re shoot the take without a red line going straight through the shot

 

[Areito Echevarria]

Nice, thanks for the insight!

BJorn

This totally rocks!

Thank you so much for sharing.

 

[Anton Shavlik]

That was a great post.

This totally rocks!

Thank you so much for sharing.

I very much like doing table top stuff like this but I think shooting laptops laying on a table in macro mode is not really what "rocks". But I´m happy you liked it.

 

[Salman Sajun]

Super clean! Love the move and the final spot! Thanks for sharing!!

Motion control sure has come a long way. Great work Bjorn.

Thanks for the kind replies guys. But I don't think that much has happened in motion control lately as I had this milo since 13 years now and I still find it to be the king.... and then you also have to consider that it had about 10 years use even before I bought it.

 

[David Battistella]

That stuff is boss. Thanks for sharing all the detail as well.

[Paul Russell]

That was great. I used your BTS film to show a director how much he'd really have to spend to get the result he wanted.

 

[Nick Morrison]

Bjorn this spot, and breakdown, is amazing.

Does the Milo system also pull/track focus for you as it moves?

 

[Kenny Mosher]

So awesome!!!

 

[Antony Newman]

Wow. Really interesting to see how the magic works behind the scenes.

Thankyou Bjorn.
