▶ 9A - Using Push Moco to create a Move — Watch on YouTube

okay so we're going to create our uh okay so we're going to create our uh push Moko move U so just to explain when push Moko move U so just to explain when push Moko move U so just to explain when I push this button and this green light I push this button and this green light I push this button and this green light comes on I can now move it around and comes on I can now move it around and comes on I can now move it around and push it and when I turn it off goes red push it and when I turn it off goes red push it and when I turn it off goes red I can't push anymore okay it's important I can't push anymore okay it's important I can't push anymore okay it's important not to try and push it when it's red cuz not to try and push it when it's red cuz not to try and push it when it's red cuz that will actually turn the motors off that will actually turn the motors off that will actually turn the motors off so if it's not moving don't try and push so if it's not moving don't try and push so if it's not moving don't try and push it do it like that and then turn it back it do it like that and then turn it back it do it like that and then turn it back on now because I'm going to be over here on now because I'm going to be over here on now because I'm going to be over here and there are some other buttons on here and there are some other buttons on here and there are some other buttons on here that I can use to rapidly store Key that I can use to rapidly store Key that I can use to rapidly store Key frames store waypoints or delete them um frames store waypoints or delete them um frames store waypoints or delete them um I'm going to turn on my sound feedback I'm going to turn on my sound feedback I'm going to turn on my sound feedback in Flair so that means I don't have to in Flair so that means I don't have to in Flair so that means I don't have to look at my screen to know what's look at my screen to know what's look at my screen to know what's happening it'll just use voice um happening it'll just use voice um happening it'll just use voice um feedback to tell me so I'm going to go feedback to tell me so I'm going to go feedback to tell me so I'm going to go to my to my to my flare and under Tools I've got sounds flare and under Tools I've got sounds flare and under Tools I've got sounds and I'm going to enable application and I'm going to enable application and I'm going to enable application sounds but only for Waypoint sounds but only for Waypoint sounds but only for Waypoint modifications okay so then I apply that modifications okay so then I apply that modifications okay so then I apply that okay make sure my volume is up it is uh okay make sure my volume is up it is uh okay make sure my volume is up it is uh so now let's just test it if I store a so now let's just test it if I store a so now let's just test it if I store a position using my store button over here okay not sure if you heard that here okay not sure if you heard that I'll do that here wayo stored Waypoint I'll do that here wayo stored Waypoint I'll do that here wayo stored Waypoint stored Waypoint stored okay Waypoint stored Waypoint stored okay Waypoint stored Waypoint stored okay Waypoint delete Waypoint deleted okay so I'm delete Waypoint deleted okay so I'm delete Waypoint deleted okay so I'm going to now use going to now use going to now use that uh put it into free modes and I'm that uh put it into free modes and I'm that uh put it into free modes and I'm going to create a move so let's say I'm going to create a move so let's say I'm going to create a move so let's say I'm going to going to going to start um let's say I'm going to start start um let's say I'm going to start start um let's say I'm going to start over here so look at my camera here so look at my camera view uh let's just do that okay now view uh let's just do that okay now view uh let's just do that okay now you'll notice it's also out of focus you'll notice it's also out of focus you'll notice it's also out of focus now I can either just store my key now I can either just store my key now I can either just store my key frames and then afterwards frames and then afterwards frames and then afterwards Focus uh or on this particular machine Focus uh or on this particular machine Focus uh or on this particular machine um I can use uh the autofocus the focus um I can use uh the autofocus the focus um I can use uh the autofocus the focus assist okay so I'm actually going to assist okay so I'm actually going to assist okay so I'm actually going to turn that turn that turn that on uh and to do that I on uh and to do that I on uh and to do that I basically I have to make sure firstly basically I have to make sure firstly basically I have to make sure firstly two things I have to make sure that my two things I have to make sure that my two things I have to make sure that my tilter is off I can focus using this and tilter is off I can focus using this and tilter is off I can focus using this and use that as I store my points but I'm use that as I store my points but I'm use that as I store my points but I'm going to let flare do it so that means I going to let flare do it so that means I going to let flare do it so that means I have to turn this off because I can't have to turn this off because I can't have to turn this off because I can't have both flare and the Hand wireless have both flare and the Hand wireless have both flare and the Hand wireless controller talk to the motor at the same controller talk to the motor at the same controller talk to the motor at the same time okay and then I turn flare motor on time okay and then I turn flare motor on time okay and then I turn flare motor on and I set it to focus follows sensor and I set it to focus follows sensor and I set it to focus follows sensor okay and you'll see it's automatically okay and you'll see it's automatically okay and you'll see it's automatically adjusted uh to focus on the can and now adjusted uh to focus on the can and now adjusted uh to focus on the can and now as I move it it'll automatically Focus as I move it it'll automatically Focus as I move it it'll automatically Focus okay all right so I'm going okay all right so I'm going okay all right so I'm going to just bring over here have this as my first point it's a here have this as my first point it's a bit boring is there anything more bit boring is there anything more bit boring is there anything more interesting on this can it's just okay interesting on this can it's just okay interesting on this can it's just okay there you there you there you go all right okay so let's say that as go all right okay so let's say that as go all right okay so let's say that as my first point my first point my first point okay and I'm going to stay here so what okay and I'm going to stay here so what okay and I'm going to stay here so what I'm going to do is I'm going to store I'm going to do is I'm going to store I'm going to do is I'm going to store this as my first key frame so store it this as my first key frame so store it this as my first key frame so store it added oh no I added a point sorry wrong added oh no I added a point sorry wrong added oh no I added a point sorry wrong button deleted I delete it okay so store button deleted I delete it okay so store button deleted I delete it okay so store it okay so I've stored that in the first it okay so I've stored that in the first it okay so I've stored that in the first key frame so now I'm going to add key frame so now I'm going to add key frame so now I'm going to add another key frame so and I'm going to go another key frame so and I'm going to go another key frame so and I'm going to go to another position so I'm going to go to another position so I'm going to go to another position so I'm going to go here okay so there I store so there I store that and I going to add another that and I going to add another that and I going to add another point and now it's going to go over here let's say up bit higher let's say here let's say up bit higher let's say there just a rough move and I sto there just a rough move and I sto there just a rough move and I sto that as my last that as my last that as my last point and now you will see here this is my move that it's going to here this is my move that it's going to do that's the move it's going to try and do that's the move it's going to try and do that's the move it's going to try and do and it shows me my camera path which do and it shows me my camera path which do and it shows me my camera path which is in blue and also where it thinks that is in blue and also where it thinks that is in blue and also where it thinks that it's focused at it's focused at it's focused at so the measurement is not perfect for so the measurement is not perfect for so the measurement is not perfect for the distance that's why it's they're not the distance that's why it's they're not the distance that's why it's they're not just one point here but it's close and just one point here but it's close and just one point here but it's close and that's what it's looking at I'm not that's what it's looking at I'm not that's what it's looking at I'm not looking looking looking I'm not pointing exactly in the center I'm not pointing exactly in the center I'm not pointing exactly in the center all the way through which is why it's all the way through which is why it's all the way through which is why it's moving okay so if I now want to run that moving okay so if I now want to run that moving okay so if I now want to run that all I do is I go forward all I do is I go forward all I do is I go forward run okay and it's telling me that track run okay and it's telling me that track run okay and it's telling me that track Zoom turntable axes are not tripped or Zoom turntable axes are not tripped or Zoom turntable axes are not tripped or not turned on run and move anyway so I not turned on run and move anyway so I not turned on run and move anyway so I can say okay and it will then allow me can say okay and it will then allow me can say okay and it will then allow me to run it next time I'll show you what to run it next time I'll show you what to run it next time I'll show you what else you can do to stop that from else you can do to stop that from else you can do to stop that from happening okay so I go and it says ready happening okay so I go and it says ready happening okay so I go and it says ready to go to now a goto basically means that to go to now a goto basically means that to go to now a goto basically means that it's taking the rig to a position that it's taking the rig to a position that it's taking the rig to a position that it needs to be at um in this case it's it needs to be at um in this case it's it needs to be at um in this case it's taking it to the start of the move so taking it to the start of the move so taking it to the start of the move so I'm going to say go to okay and it will I'm going to say go to okay and it will I'm going to say go to okay and it will slowly go to that first position it's slowly go to that first position it's slowly go to that first position it's not going through the move okay but it not going through the move okay but it not going through the move okay but it is going to the start okay and then it is going to the start okay and then it is going to the start okay and then it says Ray to says Ray to says Ray to shoot and if I press shoot and if I press shoot and if I press shoot this is my move okay now couple of things here this okay now couple of things here this was uh a 200 frame move every time I was uh a 200 frame move every time I was uh a 200 frame move every time I added a key frame it automatically added added a key frame it automatically added added a key frame it automatically added 100 100 100 frames and I'm running it at 24 frames frames and I'm running it at 24 frames frames and I'm running it at 24 frames per second if I want to run it faster per second if I want to run it faster per second if I want to run it faster let's say 50 frames per second I just let's say 50 frames per second I just let's say 50 frames per second I just type in type in type in 50 and I'm at the end of my move now so 50 and I'm at the end of my move now so 50 and I'm at the end of my move now so I could run do a go to or I can just run I could run do a go to or I can just run I could run do a go to or I can just run it backwards okay now this time it comes it backwards okay now this time it comes it backwards okay now this time it comes up with the same message so I'm not up with the same message so I'm not up with the same message so I'm not going to bother turning these on so what going to bother turning these on so what going to bother turning these on so what I can do is I can lock them instead and I can do is I can lock them instead and I can do is I can lock them instead and it will ignore them so for example my it will ignore them so for example my it will ignore them so for example my zoom I'm going to lock it with a lock zoom I'm going to lock it with a lock zoom I'm going to lock it with a lock symbol there uh my track which I'm not symbol there uh my track which I'm not symbol there uh my track which I'm not using at the moment I'm going to lock using at the moment I'm going to lock using at the moment I'm going to lock there and also I have a turntable which there and also I have a turntable which there and also I have a turntable which is not connected I'm going to lock that is not connected I'm going to lock that is not connected I'm going to lock that okay and now it'll just ignore them okay okay and now it'll just ignore them okay okay and now it'll just ignore them okay so if I go so if I go so if I go back back back run it's gone straight into R to shoot run it's gone straight into R to shoot run it's gone straight into R to shoot and then press shoot this is now that and then press shoot this is now that and then press shoot this is now that same move at twice the speed now at the same move at twice the speed now at the same move at twice the speed now at the moment the focus is still set to moment the focus is still set to moment the focus is still set to automatically use the sensor and when automatically use the sensor and when automatically use the sensor and when you're doing moves like this it's not you're doing moves like this it's not you're doing moves like this it's not that uh it's not as responsive as you that uh it's not as responsive as you that uh it's not as responsive as you might need it to be to keep accurate might need it to be to keep accurate might need it to be to keep accurate Focus but flare knows what the focus Focus but flare knows what the focus Focus but flare knows what the focus distance is and it should be able to distance is and it should be able to distance is and it should be able to focus itself so instead of uh setting it focus itself so instead of uh setting it focus itself so instead of uh setting it to sensor if I click on it instead of to sensor if I click on it instead of to sensor if I click on it instead of focus follow sensor I'm going to change focus follow sensor I'm going to change focus follow sensor I'm going to change it to focus follow Target okay and it's it to focus follow Target okay and it's it to focus follow Target okay and it's going to use these distances I've going to use these distances I've going to use these distances I've entered to and accurately Focus using entered to and accurately Focus using entered to and accurately Focus using those so again forward run shoot okay now let's say I'm not happy shoot okay now let's say I'm not happy with that at in the middle it kind of with that at in the middle it kind of with that at in the middle it kind of drifts off not don't like it uh maybe I drifts off not don't like it uh maybe I drifts off not don't like it uh maybe I want to be in a slightly different want to be in a slightly different want to be in a slightly different position I can drag this timeline here position I can drag this timeline here position I can drag this timeline here to any position okay so this was my position position okay so this was my position and a it's not really in the center B it and a it's not really in the center B it and a it's not really in the center B it is actually slightly out of is actually slightly out of is actually slightly out of focus looks like it was kind of wasn't focus looks like it was kind of wasn't focus looks like it was kind of wasn't pointed in the right place and therefore pointed in the right place and therefore pointed in the right place and therefore focused off it so I'm going to adjust it focused off it so I'm going to adjust it focused off it so I'm going to adjust it now I can adjust it either now I can adjust it either now I can adjust it either by turning on push Moko and adjusting it by turning on push Moko and adjusting it by turning on push Moko and adjusting it here like that okay or I can turn push M here like that okay or I can turn push M here like that okay or I can turn push M off and I can also just adjust it using off and I can also just adjust it using off and I can also just adjust it using these things here so which maybe is a these things here so which maybe is a these things here so which maybe is a little bit simpler if I'm trying to do little bit simpler if I'm trying to do little bit simpler if I'm trying to do very accurate measurements okay now the very accurate measurements okay now the very accurate measurements okay now the other thing that's wrong here is the other thing that's wrong here is the other thing that's wrong here is the focus so I'm going to adjust my focus focus so I'm going to adjust my focus focus so I'm going to adjust my focus now when I use these controls now when I use these controls now when I use these controls because I'm controlling the camera kind because I'm controlling the camera kind because I'm controlling the camera kind of in space rather than individual axes of in space rather than individual axes of in space rather than individual axes this screen has automatically changed to this screen has automatically changed to this screen has automatically changed to be camera X Y and Z and Target X Y and Z be camera X Y and Z and Target X Y and Z be camera X Y and Z and Target X Y and Z CU that's effectively what I'm CU that's effectively what I'm CU that's effectively what I'm controlling to change it back to uh to controlling to change it back to uh to controlling to change it back to uh to my other axes you basically use this my other axes you basically use this my other axes you basically use this button here you can switch back and button here you can switch back and button here you can switch back and forth between axes and what we call forth between axes and what we call forth between axes and what we call cartisian axes okay but in either case cartisian axes okay but in either case cartisian axes okay but in either case um the focus is somewhere down the um the focus is somewhere down the um the focus is somewhere down the bottom here the focus is down here does bottom here the focus is down here does bottom here the focus is down here does it's on both screens I'm going to adjust it's on both screens I'm going to adjust it's on both screens I'm going to adjust my focus manually here so I'm just going my focus manually here so I'm just going my focus manually here so I'm just going to adjust it here that's going out of to adjust it here that's going out of to adjust it here that's going out of focus that's going in Focus okay I can focus that's going in Focus okay I can focus that's going in Focus okay I can do that to adjust my focus and then when do that to adjust my focus and then when do that to adjust my focus and then when I'm done I'm happy with this position I I'm done I'm happy with this position I I'm done I'm happy with this position I have to store that key frame again have to store that key frame again have to store that key frame again because all I've done is I've moved it because all I've done is I've moved it because all I've done is I've moved it to the key frame but I haven't adjusted to the key frame but I haven't adjusted to the key frame but I haven't adjusted this middle key frame so so I'm this middle key frame so so I'm this middle key frame so so I'm basically just going to press this store basically just going to press this store basically just going to press this store Waypoint button Waypoint stored and it Waypoint button Waypoint stored and it Waypoint button Waypoint stored and it stores it okay and now if I run that stores it okay and now if I run that stores it okay and now if I run that move so forward run go to the start of move so forward run go to the start of move so forward run go to the start of the shoot so that's now my move very simple shoot so that's now my move very simple and straightforward
