Motion Control was produced with an Arts Council England / BBC Dance for Camera Award and examines the synergy between camera and performer. 
The film is notable for hyper-sound Foley score overlaid with text and electro-opera.  
Motion Control concerns itself with a dynamic partnership between computer operated Motion Control camera, and performer. This screen dance film tests the boundaries of dialogue between camera and performer, camera and space, camera and sound and has raised the profile internationally of screen dance from the UK and in particular from Brighton. 
It has received numerous international awards, worldwide screenings and continues to tour to 
international film festivals and is included with Forward Motion, Take7 compilation packages. 

The electric movements of the dancer and choreographer Liz Aggiss converted into a true audio-visual feast of widely ranging emotions.  A superb cinematic experiment that starts out from the conventions of video-dance but manages to go beyond them through an intelligent use of editing, colour, sound and music.
