    Wow! That last sentence in general rings so true. SO MANY shots you show up to shoot don't need to be shot on steadicam, yet they want steadicam for the production value or whatever their perception is. It takes major balls to say "this isn't a steadicam shot". Huge props if you can actually have the trust with a director to have that discussion. Some of us are just glad for the work ;)

    I think this goes for gimbals, too. It's not a matter of how steady the shot is, it's whether or not it supports the story. Story is the ultimate gauge for the tools you use in filmmaking.

    Listening to these men, one can clearly see that they are indeed very experienced. Carrying heavy cameras around is not easy the back and shoulder pain soon becomes chronic. I am glad Steadgyum is helping camera operators around the world to take off the weight and also get better stability and balance without affecting movement.

    Why was the video assist for the panavision steadicam Green?

      Colour or black and white monitors weren't nearly as bright as the older, CRT style green monitor until quite recently. So a lot of operators used the Green ones because they didn't want to be swapping around monitors all the time based on the environment.

      SteadyCam work is very tiring. I was thinking he complains a lot for SteadyCam operator . Then thought about it . Because of his age he is talking about experience not complaining. He’s physically done this for years he knows what’s up . I don’t think you do .

      This guy is talking from experience. While you're talking out of your ass.

      Yeah efficient movement is the most important part of steadicam work. I would love to see an athlete operate a steadicam

      @@troyphillips1077 No tbh no experience as a steadycam Op. But plenty of experience filming long long days and also plenty of experience running and throwing around 120kg sandbags in the gym. So i know a cute little steadycam won’t be heavy compared to that. But if he had more muscular endurance… his job would be a lot easier on his body. Hard to argue with that imo

    • @joescho
      @joescho Před rokem

      @Ronald Carrion Which is exactly why i said he needs muscular endurance training. so the muscles get tired after hours instead of minutes. If you’re muscles get tired after a few minutes you’re chronically under trained. I film the Worlds strongest Man and also compete in strongman so i’ve got experience with long filming days and carrying fucking heavy objects around

    Dopo IL MAESTRO Garrett Brown, negli anni 80 c'erano Larry McConkey e Steve St.John ... due grandissimi op. Stedycam...e anche James Muro. Qui in puffolandia c'erano solo Massimo Vitali ,Nicola Pecorini , Vachy Bellamy e Bob Scheaffer. Anni 80/88 . Poi, se ne è fatto un po' un uso sbagliato ed esagerato. Dai produttori sopratutto.Giravano tutto con la Steady x risparmiare tempo. Perché un carrello messo giù alla perfezione, richiedeva troppo tempo e quindi si rischiava di sforare e sai quanti registi, anche validi, hanno bestemmiato x questo. Lo strumento era nato x rendere fluida l'immagine in situazioni disagiate e non con pavimenti lisci . Perché un carrello ben fatto, ha sempre un altro effetto. Chiedete a Mr. Brown. Non parliamo poi dei registi " malati" di Stdy...quelli che imitando quel regista là o quella famosa scena, volevano tutto con la Stdy...orrendi. E quanti. Troppi. Tutto un vorrei, ma non posso. Oggi poi tra GIMBAL , GLIDE e DRONI e cazzate simili...🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮. Che noia. 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱. 🎥.
