magic a ball will robots ever take over magic a ball will robots ever take over the world hi guys and welcome back to mrmc world hi guys and welcome back to mrmc Academy I'm your host Ben and today we Academy I'm your host Ben and today we Academy I'm your host Ben and today we are exploring the rich history of mrmc are exploring the rich history of mrmc are exploring the rich history of mrmc it all started back in 1966 when it all started back in 1966 when it all started back in 1966 when Australian engineer Mark Roberts founded Australian engineer Mark Roberts founded Australian engineer Mark Roberts founded mrmc and used his skills to upgrade mrmc and used his skills to upgrade mrmc and used his skills to upgrade rostrom table rostrom table rostrom table now if you're like me and you're now if you're like me and you're now if you're like me and you're wondering what the hell a rostom table wondering what the hell a rostom table wondering what the hell a rostom table is uh let's see if we can phone a friend is uh let's see if we can phone a friend is uh let's see if we can phone a friend Mark Roberts really has its history in Mark Roberts really has its history in Mark Roberts really has its history in rostom or animation STS which are rostom or animation STS which are rostom or animation STS which are basically these tables that you could basically these tables that you could basically these tables that you could control to move and you'd put your control to move and you'd put your control to move and you'd put your models or your photos or whatever models or your photos or whatever models or your photos or whatever artwork you wanted to film on it it artwork you wanted to film on it it artwork you wanted to film on it it would move the camera would be looking would move the camera would be looking would move the camera would be looking down the camera could move up and down down the camera could move up and down down the camera could move up and down and then they wanted more and more and then they wanted more and more and then they wanted more and more motion of the camera and eventually they motion of the camera and eventually they motion of the camera and eventually they just kind of did away with the the table just kind of did away with the the table just kind of did away with the the table and just had moving cameras this and just had moving cameras this and just had moving cameras this innovation of evolved into moving innovation of evolved into moving innovation of evolved into moving cameras for film motion control uh the
