Here’s a great video from Movies Insider exploring NAC Effects’ SFX work which is used to create realistic scenes of moving vehicles for film and TV.
For those of you unfamiliar with this process, the team uses a programmable gimbal that mimics the motion of a car, boat, train, motorcycle, or any other form of transportation. It’s very beautiful! That gimbal can be programmed to learn a vehicle’s movements and then recreate it to fit the scene.
Sometimes, it’s safer for productions to simulate the movements of stunt vehicles than to put them in real action. Then special effects artists will use rigs and gimbals to make them move in place. NAC Effects will place a given vehicle or set on top of one of its six-axis motion bases capable of creating realistic motion of all kinds.
Watch the video below! I love this stuff and find the various elements of the film making process so interesting.
