For complex vfx shots Gianluca Dentici employs special shooting systems such as motion control; Thanks to the advanced certification on Milo gained at the British company Mark Roberts Motion Control Ltd., he is now able to previsualize and manage shootings for visual effects.
The amazing features of motion control systems run by a powerfull dedicated software, allows unlimited creative possibilities; in addition, a perfect integration with CGI tools permits to previsualize movements within the software and then execute on real rig, or conversely, to import movements recorded with real rig into 3d packages and blend them with computer generated elements.
Gianluca Dentici has a robust know-how acquired on this powerful shooting system as well as data usage, is constantly updated on new features and offers expert advices for productions requiring special shooting techniques for all demanding movie and commercial needs.

Motion control photography can also be employed for:
- Crowd duplication;
- Ghost effects;
- Wire removal;
- Speed up or slow down shots;
- Time ramp and time lapse photography;
- Camera movement scaling (used to match miniature photography and live action shots);
- Connection with CGI 3D software by exporting real camera movements data for a perfect integration and matchmoving between live action and CGI elements.
- Synchronization and triggering of external devices (step motors, moving miniature plates, special shooting rigs, midi music stuff, switches for special effects
or even another motion control rig, etc.)
Those and many more applications are possible using Milo motion control rig.
