Team Mocotila is working to develop an affordable motion-control system for the creation of time-lapse video with camera movement. Unlike most time-lapse video where cameras are fixed in one position, this robotically controlled camera will allow the user to create dynamic shots with a wide range of motion, seeming to move smoothly along a path even as time appears to speed up and slow down. The team hopes to be able to use this to create some never-before-seen visual effects, and to put this technology in the hands of amateur and independent filmmakers.
