Bot & Dolly is a design and engineering studio pushing the frontiers of projection-mapping to create unique stage effects, including incredible illusions of depth. Their short film “Box” utilizes no post-production – it was captured entirely in camera thanks to robotics, motion control, projection onto moving surfaces, and a live actor. The result is absolutely mesmerizing.
