How it works

Originated by Mark Roberts Motion Control , a Nikon owned brand, we have over 50 years of expertise engineering motion control robotics for the Film & Broadcast industry.

Unlimited depending on the space you have available. We recommend a space of 6m x 3m which comfortably allows us to shoot selfies and groups but we program Showbolt specifically for your event so have endless options.
We can configure our set up for your space but typically 6m x 3m is plenty.
We need approximately 4 hrs to set up depending on access restrictions.
From entering the shoot space to receiving your content is about 2-3 minutes. This gives us time to offer guests some direction, to shoot it, allow the user to review it and then share it.
We typically produce a 10-20 sec mp4. video clip with effects such as slo-mo, hyperlapse, boomerang and filters. These are produced to the specifications of your brief.
Videos are typically sent via branded email (in accordance to our Privacy Policy) as an attachment for the guest to share to their chosen platforms. Other options available, please get in touch to discuss.
Everything from the final video output to the UX, email and Showbolt itself. We’ll guide you through the possibilities when you enquire.
