Who else caught Apple TV’s new colourful idents? Shot using the Bolt Jr Plus by our very own MrMoco Rentals, this one’s a beautiful mix of precise robotics and creative craft.

The team used sheets of glass, shifting light, and the robot’s dynamic movement to create that hypnotic swirl of colour, blending practical effects together frame by frame for a stunning final look.

By mounting lighting directly to the arm, they could time every reflection and refraction perfectly, building a seamless transition that nods to Apple’s original rainbow logo before revealing the clean white mark we know today.

Danish-Swedish multinational cooperative Arla Foods has been ahead of the curve in reshaping how FMCG brands create content. Instead of relying on the traditional agency model, they built their own high-tech in-house studio, The Barn, and have been using the Bolt as part of their workflow for the last few years.

With rising demand for video and the need for consistent visuals across every channel, the team wanted more freedom to experiment, prototype ideas, and refine their visual storytelling. The Bolt gave them that control with its dynamic movement, unlimited repeatable motion, and the ability to execute complex tabletop shoots in a fraction of the time.

The work they have created with the Bolt has been rather impressive and has allowed them to scale their output, maintain production quality, and reduce costs by having their own trained crew and studio ready whenever they need it. With a focused team of creatives, food specialists, and a high-speed motion control setup, Arla now produce consistent, high-quality content across social, e-commerce, and TV.

If you want a closer look at how one of the world’s largest dairy cooperatives rebuilt their production workflow using robotics, and how you can too, the full case study breaks it all down below.

Releasing today on Netflix, ONE SHOT with Ed Sheeran is a groundbreaking one hour continuous-shot special from Emmy Award winning Adolescence director Philip Barantini. We’re proud to share that Mocolab and the Cinebot Max played a key role in making one of its most demanding sequences possible.

In one of the film’s standout moments, Ed Sheeran performs on top of a moving double decker bus in the middle of New York City. Because standing on a moving vehicle is illegal, no camera operator could be on the roof. That meant the camera had to be handed from operator to robot and back again without a single cut.

With operator Josh Treadaway running the move blind from inside the bus and Mocolab’s Mike Greenberg monitoring from above, the Cinebot Max had to stay rock steady and perfectly timed through traffic, potholes, low bridges and constant stop-and-go motion.

How did they pull it off? Find out in one of our most fascinating case studies yet: One Shot. One Hour. One Robot.

If you want to see what made our new short film 'Bolt PTR: Move Beyond Limits' possible, the full case study gives a closer look at how the team at Cutare Film brought it all together.

Pushing the Bolt PTR through complex, multi-axis moves, the team coordinated two synchronised Bolt X arms with precise pan, tilt and roll inputs around the Porsche 911. For their first time using it, this was no small task.

The PTR’s control and responsiveness opened up creative possibilities that would normally be out of reach, giving the team the freedom to execute the shots they envisioned while keeping the story at the heart of every frame.

It’s one thing to see the final film, but if you’re curious how those shots really came to life, the case study breaks it all down. Check it out below.
