Moonlighting Industries starts crowd-funding for follow-focus system

Aug 5, 2016

Swedish film director and photographer Miko Lazic is developing a new professional follow-focus system for feature production.

Labelled the Moon Smart Focus, and based on patents originally developed by SAAB, Lazic describes the new system as a “game-changer” and has kick-started a crowd funding campaign.

“Moon Smart Focus is what everybody imagined autofocus would be – a simple and easy way to always have perfect focus, regardless of the speed or surroundings,” said Lazic. “It will be one of those products that will be so obvious to use, that nobody will remember how it was before. I’m confident the prototype we are developing will prove that a true autofocus is possible. There are similar systems out there, but none as yet have been simple or affordable enough to use. Moon Smart Focus will change that.”

The company behind system, Moonlight Industries AB, has already received 2.5m Swedish Krona (£240,000) in partial funding.
