Chris Cunningham jaqapparatus 1 - Audi City from MrMoco Rentals on Vimeo.
Mr Moco Rentals were honoured to be asked to work with Chris Cunningham to create his live event, Jaqapparatus for the launch of the new Audi City showroom in Mayfair. The live show consisted of two Talos Motion Control rigs fitted with cameras, powerful lasers and CO2 canisters. Our rigs are usually the ones doing the filming, but for this event the roles were flipped and the rigs were actually the ones being filmed. We provided Chris with a 3D generated mock-up of the Talos in Maya that was then used to choreograph the two rigs in a brutal battle. The moves were imported from Maya to the rigs via Flair motion control software.
“Mounted on the robots heads are powerful lasers which they use to attack, repel and communicate with each other,” explains Cunningham, “a kind of duel, a surreal mating display which sees each machine trying to dominate the other.”
