Abstract:
In this paper, we propose an application that can be used to take repetition images for special effects shooting in movies or television using the Bluetooth technology of smart devices. After the application saves the control data for a specific period (based on the user’s selection), the proposed application can move the motors of the hardware mounted on the camera to perform the same motion several times via Bluetooth communication. We do not permit users to control the camera motors for the repeated movements, so we can keep the same start and end positions after saving the moving data. The camera motors are only moved remotely by the application’s saved data. We developed the proposed application and hardware, which work with camera motors for performance evaluation. Then, we confirmed that the proposed application repeated exactly the same motion with the camera motors several times, according to the saved data. Therefore, because the proposed application can take same images by remotely controlled camera motors, it will be a useful technology for special effects shooting of movies or television.
