This is not really motion control!! MC the axis are repeatable and recorded to a digital drive and each axis has motors which are slaved to the recorded data. If i am not mistaken match moving has basically rendered motion control obsolete. What you have done here is just a green screen dolly move. But your comp looks good
This actually isn't motion control. Motion control allows the camera to repeat the same move over and over exactly to the frame so that you can film elements separately and then composite them together.
What you have done here is a dolly move (a clever homemade one) on a miniature. Very nice work and keep it up.
That's great, but you missed one thing, it's NOT Motion Control! You have the motion but no control. Sliding a camera along a track isn't MC. The whole point is that you have CONTROL over the Motion and can repeat the same move over and over! Get it?
Keep it up though!
As a side note, how did you make the text and lasers? They look like (C)omputer (G)enerated (I)amges to me :-)
@LeeStringer223 I disagree completely- Alnjac DOES have control in his/her motion-control rig. albeit primitive. I think you are the one who doesn't get it. Motion control simply leverages the ability to repeat a camera move– the computers and servo mechanisms used in Star Wars were just a very precise way to do that. By restricting the camera to travel along the board, Alnjac is effecting control over its motion. Quite clever. Well done!
The best results come from motion-control and models combined with CGI. Shoot your ships as models, and then composite them all together using something like GIMP Animation Package (GAP), or another cheap-ass animation package. You can use GAP to "fix" any errors in the footage by letting the computer crop, scale, and even change the perspective on your footage of the models. You could do a good home-made version of the asteroid field chase in ESB, the most complicated scene from the trilogy.
As you've probably already worked out, you really need to make the motion control system a lot more rigid and stable but you've got the principles spot on. When they made Star Wars, they used either cameras on motorised rigs or camera dolleys/crane with a camera running at high speed which is then played back in slo-mo which damps out unwanted movement.
models look way better then CGI

Brilliant!
A stunning effort and nicely carried out.
As you've probably already worked out, you really need to make the motion control system a lot more rigid and stable but you've got the principles spot on.

Can't wait to see more of your effects videos.
