The Milo shoots with Orange on Ambrosia
milo motion controlHave a look at this previs of a complex move for Ambrosia. Originally intended to shoot this on the Motoman, Reflex encouraged the client to use the Milo as this was the best rig for the job, even though financially we would have been better off using the Motoman. This is critical when spec'ing a rig for a moco shot, the more preparation the better chance of delivering the shot as intended. The client and Orange Films were great, we worked together on this before the shoot and the shoot itself went smoothly. The commercial has aired and we will shortly post the final result.
