For 6 minutes this vid has extreme insigh. Thanks!
Stanley surrounded himself with the very best technicians and with his own vast knowledge of the making of a film, the results were always Staggering.
It was such a privilege to interview those who shared their memories for this video series. If you like the Kubrick videos, please share with others who might be interested.
@@SuiGenerisMedia I will thank you.
Optex and myself was proud to have been associated with the supply to Garrett Brown a UHF video transmitter essential for use with the Steadicam used on Kubrick's "The Shining" this enabled Stanley Kubrick to view the images created by Garrett from his directors chair 1980
We did have a small problem with the UHF transmitter in so much that images transmitted for Kubrick from Garrett's Steadicam could also be viewed during shooting by housewives turning into Channel 21 on their TV
sets outside the studio's confines in Elstree, consequently the power output of the UHF Transmitter had to be
cut substantially in order to eliminate this problems -interesting times
Awesome!
I didn't know he was the first guy to use the steady cam.....wow
Garrett Brown is amazing...he has now of course invented a steadicam device for the iPhone. If you like the Kubrick videos, please share with others who might be interested.
Shining I think is the best use of Steadicam, but it was not the first. It was pre-dated by Marathon Man, Bound for Glory and Rocky.
400 gallons of bulls blood for the elevator scene. wow
Glad you found it interesting. Please share with others who might be interested.
Sorry but there’s a discrepancy here. Every other account of the shooting of the scene, including one by Leon Vitali, say that it was fake blood, not bulls blood. And it was shot three times to get it right, not once.
5:45 "things like that you do for him". I guess I would.
It was fake blood, not bulls blood. And it was shot three times, not once
It's possible they first experimented with fake blood and ended up using bull blood. The question is who to believe in such cases. This man was there to see it and to do it. There are a lot of snippets of info floating around about the movie, often contradictory. Garret Brown says in the audio commentary to the movie that the frozen body in the maze is a dummy. Yet there is an actual production photo that indicates that it's Nicholson himself because he has a different, neutral facial expression and there's a backrest behind him to keep him comfortably fixed in place which probably wouldn't be necessary if it was a dummy. Plus, I'm not sure they'd be able to make such a great looking dummy at that time. (Garret Brown said that by the end of the movie he way flying back and forth between UK and US every other week and so it's possible he wasn't there in person to shoot that particular scene himself.)
After so many years even the memories of eye witnesses can fade away or shift. People can also be retelling information they heard from someone else, which may not be accurate.
The Shining is just a Masterpiece in respect to Stephen King I dont agree with him on this film.
