Projects

LIMNMEDIA develops tools, workflows, and production methods focused on stop-motion cinematography, motion control, and hybrid visual effects integration.

LIMNMOCO

LIMNMOCO is an open motion-control crane system designed for stop-motion and hybrid filmmaking workflows. The project focuses on accessible mechanical design, modular construction, and practical camera movement systems for miniature cinematography.

Topics include: - Motion-control crane design - Camera movement systems - Open hardware workflows - Stop-motion cinematography - Practical fabrication methods

LIMNZARM

LIMNZARM is a minimalist nodal-zero tripod and alignment platform designed to support TPS workflows and repeatable camera positioning for stop-motion production.

Topics include: - Nodal alignment - Repeatable camera setup - Compact stage workflows - Multi-pass positioning - TPS support hardware

TPS — Three Point System

The Three Point System (TPS) is a camera alignment and measurement methodology developed for stop-motion cinematography and hybrid visual effects workflows. TPS provides a repeatable framework for camera positioning, scale integration, and multi-pass production.

Topics include: - Camera alignment - Scale relationships - Multi-pass integration - Hybrid VFX workflows - Production measurement systems

LENSMap

LENSMap is a lens calibration and measurement system designed to document real-world lens behavior across focus distances and production conditions. The project combines calibration workflows, EXIF analysis, and focal length mapping for stop-motion and VFX applications.

Topics include: - Lens calibration - Focus-distance mapping - Effective focal length analysis - EXIF workflows - Camera reporting systems

Virtual Produino

Virtual Produino is an experimental virtual production lighting system designed specifically for stop-motion animation. The project focuses on synchronized environmental lighting using addressable RGBW LED panels controlled in sync with Dragonframe.

Topics include: - Frame-synchronized lighting - RGBW LED systems - Dragonframe integration - Environmental lighting workflows - Miniature stage lighting
