About the Game

Cam Op Simulator provides real world camera operators a virtual practice and training environment. The game is designed to be operated with a game pad to emulate joystick based camera systems or best with "Camera Wheels" like the Rexy Wheels, Hammerhead Wheels, and the supported Nodo Inertia Wheels.

The game consists mostly of simple scenarios with people walking around and your job is to follow them or to execute a specific camera move, which is then rated, so you can track improvements. The camera equipment, dollies, cranes, gimbals, etc. are created and animated as realistically as possible to give the most immersive "on set" experience.
