Understanding Frankincam

The video introduces Frankincam, a real-time motion control device that operates without a computer, relying on human input. Unlike typical motion control rigs, it cannot repeat actions with precision, as it mimics the natural variability of animal movements. The device is a meccano-like frame with electric motors, weighing about 50 kilos, and can be assembled in about half an hour. It is designed to carry a small HD camera and specially built lenses.

What makes Frankincam different from most other motion control devices?

• It can repeat actions with high precision.

• It is designed to be used underwater.

• It uses a computer for precise repetition.

• It relies on human input instead of a computer.

Why is the ability to repeat actions precisely considered unnecessary for Frankincam?

• Because animals rarely repeat actions exactly.

• Because it is used in unpredictable environments.

• Because it is too expensive.

• Because it is too complex to program.

How is Frankincam described in terms of its structure?

• As a complex robotic arm.

• As a simple wooden frame.

• As a meccano frame with electric motors.

• As a lightweight plastic device.

What is the approximate weight of Frankincam?

• 20 kilos

• 35 kilos

• 50 kilos

• 75 kilos

What factor can influence the assembly time of Frankincam?

• The size of the workspace.

• The weather conditions.

• The assembler's caffeine intake.

• The type of tools used.

What type of camera is Frankincam designed to carry?

• A medium-sized film camera.

• A large DSLR camera.

• A standard video camera.

• A tiny HD camera.

What is unique about the lenses used with Frankincam?

• They are standard size.

• They are specially designed and very small.

• They are interchangeable with any camera.

• They are extremely large.
