Eric and Haris, I appreciate your approach to helping me learn. James' approach covered about 90% of what I was thinking/feeling about my abilities.
James and Pedro, thanks for your honesty. I've already bought the Steadicam Handbook, and read about 3/4 of it. Most of what you're saying is stuff that I've already thought of, but I have a few questions to go along with them.
3. I just looked up the upcoming workshop schedule. The only workshop closest to me is the Lincoln, NE. I think I might ask my department to contact Tiffen for an On Campus Steadicam Workshop.
Also, do you know of any Steadicam Operators in Minnesota or Indiana that I can talk to?
7. This is a really stupid question, but what do you mean by Camera Assisting? Do you mean AC on any film set, or do you mean find a Steadicam Operator that I can shadow for the summer? Because I was thinking of doing both. The only problem is that I live in Minnesota, and go to school in Indiana. I feel like there won't be too many opportunities available in either state.
