Sometimes, there might be more than one video for a single project. You can find these videos in this section. Explore more through this this dedicated video. Work in progress - more to come soon Introduction I’ve wanted to produce those cool pan shots you see on high production videos for a while now, and I’ve been thinking about how to do it. I’ve seen a few different ways to do it, but I think the best way is to use a motion controlled robotic arm. So this project is about how to create a motion controlled robotic arm using a Raspberry Pi and a camera.
