Eric, would you please explain what the toe test is? I think some may not know what you're referring to.

 

I will give Eric a chance to explain this before I tell the story of the toe and test we used

We must record this telling on video, on location, with all parties involved.

Well.....

 

Slow moves are a function of motion transfer from your hands and arms. If your Steadicam arm and gimbal are doing their jobs socket block displacement contributes next to nothing to slow movement stability. If your arm/gimbal fail the toe test THAT will be seen same for lack of arm disassociation. Combine those two and slow moves are impossible

 

Walk how you've been walking your entire life so that you dont over complicate things

Oh, and losing weight will dramatically change EVERYTHING about how you operate (save for whip-pans ;D). I actually just went through all of my arm-side socket-block adjustments and found that all settings were way off after losing 25lbs.

question: what is the going rate for corporate and what gear does it include? I have talked to Robert and know the ballpark for live tv. You can pm me if you think this info should not be posted for some reason.

Ditto to this request; Also PM me should the info not be suitable for open-viewing. Thanks!

Hit up Dennis Noyes. He's in L.A. and rents his. If you don't have his #, PM me and I'll get it to you!

Very cool! B) How many takes of each setup did that require?

Andrew -- call me tomorrow about the Pelican, plz!

Ditto: PICS PLEASE!

If only this was listed a year ago...

 

If you're parting anything out, I'd like to know too!

I second Alex

orlando,

 

I gotta ask what lens that is you had on there. Before I opened up the photo and could only see the thumbnail, I thought that my ongoing joke of putting the 12-1 on a 5d on a sled had come true! Regardless, that lens looks beastly, I thought I'd seen em all!.

Hey Thomas,

 

It was the Red Pro 18-85mm, it is indeed a beast.

 

Orlando

Here's a pic of a Red MX on my rig with the 18-85 w/ 3 motors, a 4 stage matte-box, the red drive cradle w/ a drive and a v-mount on the back, and also a CamWave. I was going at full-charge around the side of a mountain (wearing football cleats) to keep up with the actor. I would HATE to have to shlep something like this in the snow. Although there was that one Genesis job in the snow that some of you know about . . . :P

I can see that you have our Vest Bag there.

I do, Babita, it ROCKS! ;)

The arm flew GREAT! Silky smooth, like anything you'd expect from PRO, and the arm feels SOLID. Booms feel just like they do on my TITAN. The smaller profile of the ATLAS gives even better visibility to view your monitor.

Jack and Co. have knocked it out of the park once again! B)

On my way up there right now!

Seriously. . . I'm about to get all CSI Miami and zoom in and enhance the reflection on some of these videos unless someone speaks up soon!

Hi fellas;

 

I'm going on the one I saw on the air this week.

 

I think its a technocrane.

 

Booms are seemless moves are in a rough u shape and the booms are very quickly, easily done which make me believe its a crane/remote head.

 

That's my take on it.

 

Janice

While a few of them could very well be done with that TechnoCrane do-dad, the very bottom video can't, right?! :blink: Say it ain't so!

My guess, which I hope is true, is that the Operator is Jacques Jouffret. Looks very close to quite a few other bits of his I've seen.

EDIT: speaking of the last video, if you watch closely, you can see the very slight wiggle as the Op steps onto the crane. The cross by the gentleman in the all-brown outfit appears to be a distraction to minimize our attention to the step.

When I had Greg Bubb install my PDL he used a 3M gum/tape on the backside of the PDL to stop it from sliding around. It is 1/2" in width (or thereabouts) and the gum is clear and is backed by a red, vinyl-like tape/cover.

 

If anybody happens to know the model/part # and where I can source some locally -- that would be awesome-o!

 

Thanks, all! :)

The exact one I was looking for is 3M 4910VHB. Awesome stuff.

^^^ The bottom one's the tits!

Okay, so. . . who's the Op?!

I found one, the others are much more daring in their nature. But, this should give an idea of the ones I'm inquiring about.
