What is "motion control photography"?
Motion control photography is a technique used in filmmaking to precisely control and repeat camera movements. This method involves using computerized systems to automate the camera's motion along specific paths or trajectories. It allows for consistent and repeatable movements, which is especially useful for complex shots, visual effects, or creating seamless transitions between different takes. Motion control photography ensures that each shot is exactly the same, making it easier to combine live-action footage with special effects or other elements in post-production.
