Controlling interest

Article Abstract:

Motion control technology enables producers to pre-plot intricate moves with computer software, repeatedly filming moves knowing they will always be identical, and then multi-layer to produce special effects. The system, filmed from a camera rig, is extremely precise and enables live film to be linked to 3D animation. Camera rigs can be hired, housed in their own studio, from a cost of between 2,850 and 3,000 pounds sterling for a 10-hour day. To buy the full rig could cost up to 510,000 pounds sterling. Suppliers include SVC, Cell and Milo.

Camera action

David Stamp, the chief executive of VFG Group, feels that the DigiBeta video sector performed better than 16 millimeter television film, and that there must be a rate realignment to keep the market competitive and profitable.
