ORANGE COUNTY ROBOTICS PRODUCTION STUDIO
CINEMA ROBOTICS
+ VISUAL ENGINEERING
Bring the shot. We plan how to make it. Robotic camera movement, shot development and production support for product films and commercials, based at our Irvine studio and available on location across Southern California.

EXPLORE THE MOVES
Product orbit
Reveal shape, finish and profile with a controlled arc.
Push-in reveal
Move from the full product into a chosen detail.
Detail pass
Travel across texture, material and surface details.
Overhead sweep
Show arrangement and geometry from above.
Parallax move
Build depth through foreground and background movement.
Repeatable passes
Plan matching camera passes for compositing.

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 infrastructure includes a cinema robot, Camerabotics software, Lensmaster, Action Server, turntable, treadmill, cyc, 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.
TEAM. SHOT. 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.
TWO WAYS TO BUILD THE SHOT.
Robotics Studio
From $4,500 / production day
For professional production teams. One 10-hour studio day includes the robot, operator, technical assistant and agreed basic lighting/grip. Setup, programming, shooting and wrap use the booked day.
Visual Engineering & Production
Projects from $7,500
Bring a shot, storyboard, reference or brief. We develop the production approach and quote the preparation, crew, studio or location work and finishing required for your project.
Separate preparation, testing or prelight is quoted when required. Commercials, campaigns and complex productions are quoted to scope. A studio day does not guarantee a fixed number of finished shots or an edited film.
PHYSICAL × GENERATIVE
Plan live-action capture, compositing and generative elements around the approved creative. We define what must remain accurate to the product and brand, what can change and how the finished image will be reviewed. Methods and external tool use are agreed before production.
ROBOTICS 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 a feasible shot plan after reviewing the references.
Can you include post-production?
Yes. Editing, color, sound and versions can be included as separate items in the same proposal. They are not automatically included in a recording or studio rental rate.
LET'S PLAN YOUR SHOT.
Send a reference, a brief or a first idea. We will review feasibility and define the next steps.
