Impossible Locations, Unmatched Precision

Problem

Creating a dynamic commercial with a Motion Control Cinebot in hard-to-reach or dangerous locations comes with hefty costs, safety risks, and complicated logistics.

Solution

To tackle these issues, film the commercial in a studio with an LED volume and a Bolt Motion Control Cinebot. This setup simulates the challenging location while offering complete control over the scene, making the "impossible" possible.

Creating a captivating commercial often means pushing the limits of what’s possible. In this case, we’re tackling the challenge of filming with a Motion Control Cinebot in a location that would typically be seen as logistically impossible — whether it’s a remote mountaintop, the rooftop of a skyscraper, or the heart of a bustling city, all of which would be nearly impossible to access and film the traditional way.

Instead of physically transporting the Cinebot to the location, we craft a virtual environment displayed on an LED volume. This cutting-edge technology allows us to project realistic, immersive backgrounds onto large LED screens that surround the set. By removing external factors like weather, noise, and unexpected obstacles, our crew can focus entirely on perfecting the lighting, composition, and performance without distractions.

With the precision of this sophisticated robotic camera system, which enables complex and repeatable camera movements and paths, we can bring your dynamic commercial to life — one that defies the limits of reality and leaves viewers wondering, “How did they film that?”
