Colleagues,
Steadicam pioneer, and teacher of hundred of operators, Phil Balsdon, suffered a major stroke in October last year. If you're feeling generous, or want more information, please follow this link: http://us5.campaign-...id=966bbdc9d6
Phil's a hell of a guy. We taught together in Australia, where he walked the feet off me showing me his favourite hidden beaches north of Sydney. This picture, taken at the Kuala Lumpur workshop a few months before his stroke, shows his playful nature.
My enduring memory of Phil is of him running flat-out in the rig just for the hell of it. It would be great if we could all help Phil to just walk again.
Chris
