Learn the Complete Tabletop Rigging System
This tabletop rigging course teaches practical rig systems through real studio-tested setups: controlled drops, splash and liquid motion, ingredient launches and triggered motion control.
Rig Lab Academy teaches practical tabletop rigging through real studio-tested setups, controlled drops, splashes, launches and triggered motion systems.
What You Will Learn
The course is structured around practical rig systems used for controlled tabletop motion: air-powered drops and launches, water and splash setups, and electric motion control for repeatable slow-motion shots.
Air, Drop & Ingredient Launch Rigs
Build pneumatic rigs, drop systems and ingredient launch setups for controlled food and beverage motion.
Water, Splash & Liquid Control
Create repeatable splash tests, water movement and liquid setups for slow-motion tabletop shots.
Electric Motion & Triggered Movement
Use stepper motors, triggers and motion control systems to create repeatable camera-ready movement.
Inside the Complete Course
The Rig Lab Academy course is built around practical rig modules. Each module focuses on one type of controlled motion system and shows how to build, test and use it for real tabletop food and beverage shots.
Module 1 — Air, Drop & Ingredient Launch Rigs
Learn how to use pneumatic cylinders, drop plates, launch mechanisms and air-powered movement to create controlled drops, ingredient bursts and repeatable slow-motion action.
Module 2 — Water, Splash & Liquid Control
Build practical setups for splash timing, liquid movement, water tanks, pumps and repeatable fluid motion for food and beverage cinematography.
Module 3 — Electric Motion & Triggered Movement
Use motors, triggers, timing systems and motion control setups to create precise, repeatable movement for tabletop shots.
Why This Course Is Different
The setups are based on real BTS tests, practical problems and controlled shot experiments.
One Rig, One Lesson
Each lesson focuses on one practical rig and one clear result.
Built in Real Studio Conditions
The setups are based on real BTS tests, practical problems and controlled shot experiments.
Made for Repeatable Results
The goal is not random motion, but controlled, repeatable food and beverage visuals.
Who This Course Is For
This course is built for creators, tabletop filmmakers, food video specialists and studio builders who want more control over motion on set. Instead of relying on random drops, uncontrolled splashes or lucky timing, the lessons focus on practical rigs that can be tested, adjusted and repeated. The goal is to understand how air, water and triggered movement systems work behind the shot, so you can build cleaner setups for slow-motion food and beverage visuals.
Course Outcomes
By the end of the course, you should understand how to approach a tabletop motion idea, choose the right rig type, test the movement safely and refine the setup for a camera-ready result. The focus is not only on the final shot, but on the complete process behind it: planning, building, testing, adjusting and repeating controlled motion.
