3 x BOLT Camera Motion Control Robots

The only limit is your imagination.

Camera Motion Control

Robotface are motion control specialists based in Melbourne, Australia and are fully portable to film Australia wide.

We are equipped with three of the world’s industry-standard cinema robots, the BOLT, BOLT Jnr+ & Cinebot Mini manufactured by the industry leading Mark Roberts Motion Control.

Powered by Oscar winning technology specifically for film makers to operate in sync with ARRI, RED and PHANTOM camera systems, these aren’t just ordinary robotic arm systems.

For a cinematographer, this means getting camera movement exactly how you want it and where you want it every time. For a producer, this means no time lost building complicated makeshift camera rigs and for VFX designers camera motion control means the ability to control, repeat and scale the same dynamic camera move over an over again to shoot all the plates needed so that all elements line up for that final dynamic shot.

We believe in having the right tool for the job so that you receive the very best results for your next production. 

So no matter of the project brief, we’ve got you covered.

So what is camera motion control?

What does a camera motion control robot do and how does it help you if you want to sell a product, shoot eye-popping live action sequence, shoot miniature sets and models, shoot dynamic time-lapse content, shoot a music video, or want if you want to duplicate real life camera moves into CGI workflows?

To answer some of these questions we’ve compiled this video with behind the scenes and actual footage from some of our projects, as well as set up a series of examples of some of the applications and principals of motion control.
