ElysiaVisuals nanoMoCo break out boards are available

We already wrote about the nanoMoCo break out board that we designed. This small board can be connected to the nanoMoCo Stepper Driver board; the future of open source motion control. The standard nanoMoCo board doesn't provide a way to connect the connectors that you need. This is where our ElysiaVisuals break out board comes in.

Dynamic Perception Stage Zero dolly versus the Stage One Slider

Everyone can create time lapse movies. It's not that hard. There are even apps available that turn a smart phone into a time lapse camera. You see time lapse movies in almost every documentary. But most movies are taken with a static camera. The camera is not moving when the time lapse movie was shot. This is where motion control comes in. You can use motorized equipment that moves your camera automatically during the creation of a time lapse movie.

User guide for nanoMoCo, MoCoBus, and the new Motion Engine

The following user guide can also be found at the site of http://www.dynamicperception.com. The nanoMoCo stepper driver/controller is a specialized, Arduino-compatible* device specifically designed to enable advanced multi-axis stepper-based robotics and automation projects less expensive, and easier to create.

Key features of the nanoMoCo include:

nanoMoCo Stepper Driver/Controller

Dynamic Perception has announced their long awaited "nanoMoCo Stepper Driver/Controller" boards today. Dynamic Perception's mission is to provide low-cost and easy-to-use photographic motion-control systems. Our focus is to enable creativity and experimentation through open and unencumbered hardware, firmware, and software. Founded by the creators of the OpenMoCo open-source motion-control system we are striving to provide flexible and expandable kits for solving any motion-control need.

Timelapse Post-processing - Photos to Video using the Adobe Workflow

This video shows you how to create a time lapse video with the use of Adobe software.

Timelapse Post-processing: Time Remapping in After Effects

Time remapping gives you a way to manipulate the progression of time in your time-lapse.

Rather than having consistently moving time, you can speed up or slow down portions of your footage, or make parts go in reverse and others move forward. It's a great way to add some extra creativity to your project.

This hands-on video shows the basics of using the Dynamic Perception Stage Zero Dolly and MX2 DollyEngine.

If you're a new customer or thinking of buying one, you'll want to watch this! Several topics are covered, including using the system for basic video moves and shooting time-lapses using the continuous movement mode. We also introduce the tooth method, a rule of thumb for making time-lapse calculations easy.
