Robot Videographer

London.film, a video production studio in London, England, with some very cool equipment, is filming Digital View LCD controller boards and accessories. Shown here is Bolt, a robotic arm capable of smooth, accurate, high-speed tracking that enables camera views that would be impossible by hand.

In this shot, the camera is using a snorkel lens (Laowa macro probe lens) that provides a bugs eye view of the controller board. It can be positioned and travel literally 1mm above the surface of the board.

Here are a couple of videos using the control of the robot and a close up lens.

P.S.: If you are interested to see some creative capabilities using Bolt see https://youtu.be/liMh5Znh3-g (it is not related to controllers or DV products, just interesting).

Here are some screen grabs from videos that were taken…
