Motion Control

At Second Home Animation Studios, we love all forms of animation. However, our passion is stop motion animation. And our custom designed Motion Control Rig lends itself perfectly to the stop motion work that we do. It is perfect for creating multi-pass techniques or for steady, controlled time-lapses.

This page is dedicated to blog posts that feature motion control. We do hope you are enjoying reading our blog posts. If you are, why not follow us on Facebook to be kept informed of new projects and blog posts. You can also find us on LinkedIn and Instagram so be sure to follow us there too.
