Tilt Drive Fitment & Off-the-Shelf Constraints
By Christopher
This set of images shows the fitting and layout work for the tilt drive components on the LIMNMOCO stop-motion crane.
02 / Camera Alignment
Align views.
Not worlds.
Recovering a camera setup shouldn't require reconstructing an entire scene.
Three points.
One view.
LIMNTPS uses three fixed reference points to help align a physical camera with an established image.
A practical approach to camera recovery, repeatable setups, and the relationship between physical and virtual cameras.

01 / The Work
Built for
the frame.
Professional motion-control tools shouldn't be out of reach.
Real machines.
Open thinking.
We're developing motion-control hardware and
camera tools that make sophisticated stop-motion
techniques more accessible—without hiding how
things work.
Designed to be understood, maintained,
and improved.

03 / Open Knowledge
Knowledge
is a tool.
The ability to make something shouldn't depend on knowing someone who knows how.
stop-motion
A method of animation in which physical objects are moved and photographed frame by frame to create the appearance of continuous movement.
Make it.
Understand it.
Share it.
LIMN-EDU brings together technical knowledge, production practices, and the language of stop-motion in resources designed to be explored and understood.
From camera fundamentals to fabrication, motion control, and visual effects, we're building an open foundation for the next generation of makers.
