ORANGE COUNTY ROBOTICS PRODUCTION STUDIO
CINEMA ROBOTICS
+ VISUAL ENGINEERING
Need a camera move or product shot that is difficult to capture conventionally? Bring a reference or a brief. We combine robotic camera movement, shot development and technical support at our Irvine studio or on location across Southern California.

FROM REFERENCE TO A SHOOTABLE PLAN
Share a storyboard, reference or first idea. We assess camera movement, lighting, product handling and compositing needs, then define the setup, tests and preparation required for the shot. A finished shot list is not required to start the conversation.
ONE PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT
Plan the robot, camera, lighting and studio setup together. Our Irvine studio infrastructure includes a cinema robot, Camerabotics software, Lensmaster, Action Server, a turntable, a treadmill, a cyclorama, camera packages, lighting, grip and macro/probe capability. Your proposal confirms the equipment and crew needed for your project.
Synchronized motion
Where a shot calls for coordinated camera and subject movement, we review the synchronization and testing required before confirming the setup.
START WITH YOUR TEAM, SHOT OR BRIEF
Bring your team
Keep your creative direction. Add our robotics infrastructure and technical team.
Bring the shot
Share the visual challenge. We assess the approach, setup and preparation.
Bring the brief
Plan the production and finishing with one coordinated team.
Three Ways to Build the Shoot
Robotics Studio
From $4,500 per 10-hour studio day
Bring your director and DP. The day includes the robot, operator, technical assistant and agreed basic lighting and grip. Setup, programming, shooting and wrap count toward the booked day. Separate prep, testing or prelight is quoted when needed; an edited film is not included in the day rate.
Visual Engineering & Production
Projects from $7,500
Bring a shot, storyboard, reference or brief. We develop the technical approach and quote the pre-production, crew, shoot and finishing needed for your project. The work depends on the shot, from lighting and product movement to compositing.
Finished Commercial Production
Custom Quote
Bring your brief for a finished commercial or product film. We scope the shoot, crew, editing and delivery around your references, with motion control where the creative calls for it. Your custom proposal defines the film, versions and post-production before booking.
Discuss Your Finished FilmROBOTICS ON LOCATION
Need the shot at your location? Share the site, access details and references. We assess transport, space, power, crew and preparation before confirming a location setup.
A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Is a prep day included?
A separate prep day is not included in the Studio Day starting rate. After reviewing your shots, we confirm whether additional preparation, testing or prelight is needed and itemize it in the proposal.
Can our director and DP lead the shoot?
Yes. Your team can retain creative direction while our technical team handles the agreed motion-control setup and operation.
How many moves fit into a day?
Complexity, lighting changes and preparation determine the schedule. We agree on a feasible shot plan after reviewing the references.
Can you include post-production?
Yes. Editing, color grading, sound and alternate versions can be itemized in your proposal. They are not automatically included in the Robotics Studio day rate.
Which option should we choose?
Robotics Studio provides a booked day with the technical team. Visual Engineering & Production develops a production approach around your shot, storyboard or brief, including the finishing your project needs. Finished Commercial Production is quoted around a complete commercial or product film. We’ll help you choose the right approach for your team and deliverables.
LET'S PLAN YOUR SHOT
Choose a Robotics Studio day, a Visual Engineering & Production project, or a finished commercial. We’ll confirm the scope and next steps with you.
