The remarkable robots that are transforming filmmaking
As the realm of the camera department comes to include advanced machinery, the roles of the engineer and technical artist are converging to create a position which requires considerable technical knowledge as well as the training to operate a system with multiple, incredibly strong, motors often right near an operator or technician’s fingers.
Remote control
In addition to camera stabilising hardware systems, modern cinema robotics also include remote controlled and under and over-slung suspension systems which allow for operators and directors of photography to pilot and direct the cinematography from a distance.
While an organic approach to filmmaking will likely continue to live on at the independent and lower budget levels of production, it is becoming very evident in studio cinema and in our world as a whole, that the robotic revolution is upon us, displacing the tried and true methods of the past.
By embracing the changing robotic revolution, a filmmaker today can breathe a sigh of relief as we finally have entered a period where the sky really is the limit when it comes to what is possible within the cinematic art form.
The days of the cyborg film crew are dawning and the possibilities of the art form in this future world are limitless and amorphous.
