FlowMotion Smartphone Stabilizer

Magnus Skogsfjord · November 28, 2016, 02:11:33 AM

Good evening,

I've been given permission to post some images from my latest work for a kickstarter company called FlowMotion (www.flowmotion.one). They have recently released a product for capturing stabilized cinematic videos with a smartphone. They've already have reached their goal, and have gotten publicity on Forbes and other sources. To quote Forbes: "Don't confuse FlowMotion One with a pimped out selfie stick. It's far from it."

I don't have detailed information about the tech inside, but the footage I've seen recorded with it looks remarkable in terms of stability.

Anyway, it's currently an ongoing project, so there may be some updates. Hope you like them.

I love the subtle imperfections in the materials, Magnus!
Would be great if they went with that look in their marketing materials. It shows honesty. And emphasizes ruggedness.

Thanks Dries! Appreciate it

And yes, I agree! Especially the part about ruggedness/robustness, given that this is a product which is to be used outside in potentially extreme situations. I made different versions of this, where some are within the "perfect" genre. I'm not sure which they will use the most, but they were enthusiastic about the rugged material as well.

Man, these look great Magnus. I came on the forum hoping you'd have put these up high resolution after seeing it in IG and was not disappointed

The in-context renderings are great, I really like them! They're a departure from the usual product shots and have a great feel to them. Well done!

Neat ! Love them all.

Thanks a bunch Richard! Appreciate your kinds words

I'm glad you liked them! The customer was a bit skeptical at first when I proposed such a look, but they liked it once they got the result:)

The usual suspects have pointed out lots of the great details in these renderings. I'd like to echo their comments. Love these.

Cheers Hossein (http://i.imgur.com/xcEamGI.gif)! Appreciate your kind words!:) And yes, it's the same rock, only a different angle. It was a neat model, so I couldn't let it slide for just one image.

As said on instagram, awesome job, Magnus!
I also really like the shots on the rock and the subtle roughness mapping in the material.
Well done!

Such amazing work, as always, Magnus! The texturing, lighting, and detail is just fantastic! +1 with all the other comments. I especially like the shallow DOF you achieve in a lot of your renders. Well done!

Cheers,
Eric

Very cool to see some of your customer work! These shots look GREAT and the little details you add in are a treat.

The product is incredible too - did you do the exploded animation in the video? They'll definitely bring in some more pledges with your shots
