Light finds away Rammy Anwar of G6Motion Control makes the impossible a reality every time he steps on set – and he relies on Light &Motion’s StellaPro range to do it
I n the world of film production, more than 30 years of experience and branches in bike safety, scuba diving, as well as cameras and cinematography. On the other, there’s G6 Motion Control, who hit the scene only two years ago, but struck major chords ever since. G6 co-owner and technical manager, Rammy Anwar, has been using Light & Motion’s StellaPro LEDs in extraordinary ways for some time. “Our area of motion control uses robotic arms that are available off the shelf. We just modify the software and hardware to give them even greater potential. That’s the tough bit,” Anwar laughs. “A big part of my role is visual innovation is everything. On one side of the cutting edge, you have a company like Light & Motion, with engineering. A director or DOP may come to me and say, ‘I have a shot in mind, but I’m not sure how to execute it’, and then
we use our specialist tools, and custom fabrications when needed, to bring that idea to life. “Our arms can move at 4m/s and are accurate to 0.02mm, which you couldn’t achieve through any other means.” Of course, this potential would be wasted were it not for kit that can keep up. That’s where Anwar’s love of the StellaPro lights comes in. “The StellaPro CLx10s are perfect to have inmy arsenal. They’re small, light, portable, efficient, powerful and versatile. But they shine brightest in tough situations. “Mounting on the robotic arms is just one example of that, but it’s a big one. These arms have a max payload, which rules out a lot of lights immediately. Many other LEDs just aren’t rugged enough, and when they are, they aren’t very bright. I don’t know where else you can find everything the StellaPro lights offer in one package.”
