SCENE 01 / MOTION CONTROL

Motion Control Services

Robotic precision cinematography for VFX, commercials, and complex productions.

Scroll

Motion control systems use computer-programmed camera rigs to execute precise, repeatable camera movements. These systems are essential for visual effects compositing, multi-pass photography, automotive commercials, tabletop product shots, and any sequence where identical camera moves must be reproduced across multiple takes or elements. Lima is Peru's commercial production hub, with Lima-based service companies offering well-stocked equipment including Russian Arms, Techno Cranes, and Shotover for high-end advertising work.

We source motion control rigs and experienced operators for Peru, working with production service companies including APU Productions, Chita Films, and GoPeruFilms. While Peru has no major soundstage complexes, our team coordinates equipment imports via ATA Carnet, location work, and technical support so your motion control sequences are captured efficiently and with exacting repeatability.

Robotic precision for Peruvian pisco, retail and tabletop

Here is how this works in practice. Motion control rigs answer a specific and demanding need: identical, frame-accurate camera moves repeated across multiple passes for VFX compositing, multi-element photography, automotive tabletops and the high-end product cinematography commissioned out of Lima for Inca Kola, Pilsen Callao, Cusqueña, Pisco Tabernero, Pisco Portón, Backus, Field, Gloria, Tottus, Plaza Vea and Wong.

Here is the short of it. Peru does not hold a permanent inventory of large-format motion-control systems — Mark Roberts Milo, Bolt and Bolt X arms are imported per project from Filmotechnik São Paulo, Cinesphere Buenos Aires or Argentine brokers, with our crew setting up the ATA Carnet, SUNAT clearance and DGAC paperwork through Jorge Chávez to land the rig in Lima for the shoot window. Smaller tabletop systems and Modula-class multi-axis sites are ready in the capital itself through APU Productions, Chita Films, GoPeruFilms and the specialty rental brokers serving the city's commercial sector around San Isidro and Miraflores, and pair naturally with the Russian Arm, Techno Crane and Shotover heads these companies hold for automotive and beverage briefs.

Here is the breakdown. Pre-visualisation sits at the heart of the workflow because every imported-rig day on the floor is expensive. Our crew programmes camera paths in software, times them against animatics and signs them off before stage time is consumed. This lets DPs and clients refine moves before talent or product arrives at the Lima soundstage.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. On the day, frame-accurate repeats deliver every pass the VFX team needs — hero takes, clean plates, lighting passes, multi-pass element photography, time-slice sequences and matched moves — with motion data, camera tracking metadata and lens metadata exported alongside the footage as OpenEXR or ProRes deliverables. Our team integrates directly with Lima's VFX houses — Makaco, Maneki Studio and Gamma Post House — and aligns schedules with DAFO and Ministerio de Cultura registration, IGV 18% invoicing, ANACTP-aligned crew rates and the competitive non-union 12-to-14-hour day Peru offers.

Here is how the picture comes together. Operators come from the Lima commercial pool with credits across pisco and beer campaigns, Inca Kola and Backus tabletops, retail spots for Tottus and Plaza Vea and the Latin American brand work that fills the schedule between feature and series visits.

FAQ

Robotic Camera Expertise

What is motion control filming?

Motion control uses computer-programmed robotic camera systems that can execute precise, repeatable camera movements. This allows identical moves to be repeated for multiple passes, essential for VFX compositing, and enables moves too fast or precise for human operation.

When should I use motion control in Peru?

Motion control is ideal for VFX-heavy productions combining studio work with Peru's iconic locations, automotive commercials shooting in Lima, product work for Latin American brands, and any sequence requiring frame-accurate repeatability across multiple passes.

What systems do you provide in Peru?

We work with major motion control systems available in Lima or imported via ATA Carnet, including MILO for large-scale moves, Bolt high-speed robotic arms, Modula rigs, and smaller tabletop systems. Selection depends on scale, speed, and payload.

Can motion control work with high-speed cameras?

Yes, motion control systems like Bolt are specifically designed for high-speed work, coordinating fast programmed moves with high-frame-rate cameras. This creates dramatic speed-ramped shots common in commercials shooting across Peru's varied landscapes.

How do you handle multi-pass shooting?

We program moves that can be repeated identically for each pass—talent pass, clean plate, lighting elements, etc. The precision of motion control ensures all elements align perfectly in compositing, supported by Lima's growing VFX talent.

What about smaller tabletop work?

We provide smaller motion control rigs for tabletop, product, and food photography. These systems offer the same repeatability and precision at a scale suited to Peruvian pisco, food, and consumer goods brands.

Productions in Peru that need this often pair it with Virtual Production, Stop Motion Production, and Green Screen Filming for full coverage. Most projects also draw on Time-lapse & Hyperlapse.
