Recently, Nikon divested itself of Mark Roberts Motion Control, which it had acquired in 2012; now, the company is insolvent and appears to be in the process of being completely liquidated. On the MoCo specialist&s website, the following laconic notice is displayed, with no further information provided:
 Milo camera robot In the field of motion control, MRMC, founded by Mark Roberts in 1966, was a pioneer. With the Milo Motion Control Rig, launched in 1994, complex camera movements could be repeated exactly, even at very high speeds, which made striking camera tricks possible. The Milo camera robot was reasonably portable and was used in numerous Hollywood films, music videos, commercials, and other productions; it received a Technical Oscar in 1999. For example, Michel Gondry used the Milo on tracks to capture the footage for his legendary music video for Kylie Minogue ("Come Into My World," 2002)—in it, she walks in a circle several times across a Parisian intersection and, thanks to perfect choreography and painstaking editing, appears quadrupled in the frame by the end: What the liquidation of MRMC entails and whether individual MoCo systems—since the Milo, many other, including smaller, solutions have been added—might continue to be built under different management is currently completely unclear. One can only hope for the latter.  more infos at bei www.mrmoco.comdeutsche Version dieser Seite: Mark Roberts Motion Control wird abgewickelt - Milo-Entwickler am Ende |
