viper and moco ???


Sebastian Matthias

Recommended Posts

hello everybody !

we are planning a fantasy-movie and think about using the viper.lots of steadicam will be used and then combined with motion-control / models.

my question : is the viper a good choice for motion-control with the possibility of undercrankin,overcranking and variable shutter angles ?

is anyone around here who has used the viper with moco ?

any information about shooting moco with the viper would be very much appreciated !

 

 

all the best to all of you

Hi,

 

From memory www.motioncontrol.co.uk have done this. I think a connected company may own a Viper, but I cant see any details on their web site.

Your costs on the MOCO day will probably be higher if you go the viper route as most MOCO's include a Mitchell in the daily rate.

MotionFX in London have Viper and moco.

Far as I'm aware, noone has been able to integrate undercranking overcranking with shutter angle changes using moco with video camera.
