"Motion control rig"

We call our motion control rig David. This is the rig used for a fairy flying sequence. The puppets and lights are connected to the camera.  This entire arrangement is then mounted on a shoulder mount which David wears. David took one step backwards as I animated each frame.  David used a simple sight to line up the camera with an object in the background to ensure the camera did not jerk about too much between each frame.
