  1. It was "Too Late" not Birdman. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GtMJNML23WY Enjoy!
  2. There used to be a video that showed some behind the scenes of the Steadicam operating on this film. If I recall correctly, it showed how they did some switches from one operator to another. I have searched and can't seem to find the link. Does anyone have it?
  3. Greetings, Have 3 tubs left...who wants them? John
  4. Greetings, I am no music video "make sense" expert, but that was some great operating. John
  5. Bump Still have some left if you are interested.
  6. I had to purchase an entire case of Renolit ST-80 lubricant. I only needed a couple of the jars. I have 14 that I don't need. I can offer them for $9.00 plus shipping. US buyers only please.
  7. I always tell first time clients, in or out of town, 100% up front. Once we establish a relationship AND the check clears we look at other options. If they balk it is usually a bad sign. Most push back a little bit, but when I stand firm they make the arrangements they need to make. I always ask about the check when I get on site, but then typically don't make them produce it until after the first day of shooting. If they are squirrely, I make them give it to me up front. We can also take PP or credit card if needed as well to help make it easy for them. This is our policy. Anytime we deviate from it, we end up chasing the money. John
  8. Peter, I am interested in this too as it would be great to only have one plate for doing all of the ENG cameras. I look forward to the update! John
  9. My cold weather gear is as follows: 1. Hat - UA Cold Gear Thermal scull cap. This is great as I can wear it as is, put it under a rain proof ball cap if it is wet out and still wear com over it or an ear piece under it. Works great under my jacket hood as well 2. Under Shirt - UA Cold Gear Evo Compression Mock Long Sleeve. I wear this if it is going to be cold enough that a polo isn't enough but not so cold I want the heavy over coat. I will also use this if I am going to take my jacket off during operating. 3. Polo - UA Golf Polo. This is my operating shirt preference regardless of temperature. It is loose fitting enough to have the compression shirt on under, but in the hot it keeps the moisture away. 4. Pants - Jeans 5. Over Pants - UA Armour Storm Rain Pants, these are great to cut the cold and keep dry. They are very light weight. This is used for rain as they are water proof. They are also a little long so they cover the tops and laces of my boots. I use a waterproof strap to hold them in place. You can get the straps at a any bike shop for 3.00 6. Shoes - Merrill waterproof ankle boots. 7. Jacket - UA Storm Jacket. This is warm, light weight and water proof with a hood. I took this too the tailor and had them sew a hole in behind the hand pocket for the socket of my arm to go through. This lets me keep the jacket and arm on and still stay warm. As it is big enough to go over the vest, it is comfortable enough for me to move easily and stay warm and dry. 8. Gloves - UA Cold Gear Liner Gloves These are great for operating as they are thin but warm. Can even use your phone with them as they have the fancy fingers. They are not waterproof so I either pull them off if it's wet or use my waterproof gloves if needed. What Fredrick said about batteries is true, they go fast. We also have a small Igloo cooler that we put hand warmers in and put a towel down to lay batteries on to keep them warm if we are away from basecamp. We also keep a small space warmer for our tent if there is no proper trailer. John
  10. Can't go wrong with Transvideo. I know that there are many happy Transvideo customers. I couldn't be happier with mine, unless it was less expensive to purchase, but nice things cost money. I have no experience with the team at Cinetronic, I just know how great my experience has been with Transvideo and Pro in working with them. John
