ROBOT / HIGH SPEED
Fast motion, perfect repeats.
High frame rates make everything cinematic, until the camera move can't keep up or can't be repeated. Our SISU C20 motion control robot executes fast, precise moves identically take after take, so high speed shots that are impossible by hand become routine: liquid pours, product reveals, whip moves through set pieces.
Speed with precision
Fast robotic moves timed to the frame, repeated identically every take.
High frame rate ready
Paired with high speed capable cinema cameras from our own inventory.
Multi-pass magic
Run the identical move across lighting passes and elements for seamless composites.
Why motion control changes high speed work
At 100 or 200 frames per second every wobble is magnified, and every take costs setup time. Programming the move once means the robot hits the same path, speed and focus every take, so you can iterate on the action in front of the lens instead of fighting the camera. For composite work, identical passes make post clean instead of painful.
What it's used for
Drinks and liquid commercials, product hero shots, food, beauty, sports analysis style moves, and VFX plates that need trackable, repeatable motion. The robot lives in our East Perth studio alongside the lighting and grip to control every variable, and it can travel for the right production.
FAQ
Good to know
What frame rates can you shoot?
It depends on the camera and resolution you choose from our inventory, well beyond standard slow motion for most commercial work. Tell us the shot and we'll spec the right body and settings.
Do we need to storyboard the move in advance?
It helps, but moves are programmed and refined on the day with our technician. We can also previsualise the path before the shoot so the whole team signs off early.
Can the robot shoot outside the studio?
It's most efficient in our studio where power, rigging and safety are already handled, but it can travel for the right production. Get in touch with the brief and we'll work out the logistics.
