Simple tutorials on how to use the Kessler Crane motorised Oracle system

We made these down in Key West last month. They explain how to use the Oracle controller with the Cineslider and Pocket Dolly systems.

The set up I used was the Cineslider with outrigger feet, a manfrotto 503 head on the slider, the 500 Eletrkra drive motor and the Oracle controller.

  1. What a fantastic piece of kit. There are so many possibilties with motion control cameras. I remember cutting a commercial for a soft drink that needed a long line of people extending into dry desert. The same shot was repeated about 15 times, each time moving the line of people between markers. The final composition cost a fortune. The production company spent tens of thousands hiring a crew and the biggest motion controlled robot monster. Now i see it’s possible to get the same results from this beauty.
    It blows my mind.
