A. Twin shots – an actor has to appear twice (or more) in the same scene.

B. Scaling live action into miniature sets - or combining various scaled objects - within the same camera move. E.g. placing an actor in a dolls house on a tracking shot, or placing miniature buildings into a full scale location

C. Removal of wires, special rigs, or an actor - our system will shoot this “live”, then the crew will remove all the rigging and we will shoot a “clean pass” to allow the post production group to fill in the areas covered by the rig.

D. Table Top – A very precise way to move both the food or product and camera in concert – many times it is a slight variation, thus the same camera programmed move can be used many times. This has let commercial directors show a food product going from frozen to steaming hot as the camera is moving.

E. Combine Time Lapse and Live Action – These “impossible shots” are a classic example of combining several different frame rates – and creating a sometimes beautiful if not eerie shot. A creative director can combine various lighting techniques to create a unique vision for a client.

F. Combining (compositing) various elements shot on greenscreen, e.g. having an explosion detonate reside an actor, shot on separate passes.

G. Dissolving between different backgrounds on the same camera move, e.g. an actor appears to walk from an exterior to an interior or from day to night, or the view from a studio set window is a real exterior.

H. Varying the camera speed on a live action sequence within a constant speed camera move, e.g. during a slow constant camera pan, an actor changes gradually from slow motion to time-lapsed high speed - this could also be a physical effect, like rain or fire.

I. Moving through set walls/windows Tech note: a programmed move can be run in any combination of sections, both forward and reverse, and will stop accurately on a frame. All sections join back up perfectly, having been shot at any frame rate.

J. Time lapse – Using motion control software, both the camera and the crane can be programmed to take single frames, with variable time delay.
