Enchanted Rug Mechanism

Enchanted Rug

35-Axis Motion Rig for Enchanted Rug Animation

This project required an impressive 35 axes to bring the enchanted rug to life! By combining this complex system with a green screen, the CGI team in post-production had the perfect foundation for integrating the flexible substrate seamlessly into the final scenes. Each of the 35 axes allowed the system to make incredibly lifelike movements, from sweeping, graceful arcs to subtle, expressive shifts that gave the enchanted rug its signature charm.


With the systems ability to mimic everything from realistic flight paths to the playful flick of its tassels, the rug took on an almost character-like quality, capturing the imagination of audiences and adding an unforgettable layer of magic to the story.
