Motion Base
TOTALLY CONTROLLABLE CHARACTER MOVEMENT.
This 6 D.O.F (degrees of freedom) motion simulator is fully computer controlled and allows the platform’s movements to be programmed in such a way as to mimic the motion of creatures, cars, boats and aircraft etc.
Using our unique in-house software, moves can be plotted in advance or a ‘Waldo’ is available which will allow an operator complete manual freedom to move the system “live” whilst still recording the motion for frame-accurate repeatability. The Motion Base can be used in conjunction with any of our other motion control systems to achieve unrivalled realism of movement during the scene.
The whole system is portable enough to be transported in a small truck and set up in a couple of hours.

Rig Fixings
| The system can exert considerable innertia so it is essential that the Motion Base is fixed to a secure floor surface for safety and to prevent the system from sliding. MrMoco can bring suitable fixings. |
