Hey, everyone. I'll try to keep this short.
Graduated from Columbia College Chicago in 2013. Janice Arthur did a Steadicam demo for one of my classes. I already had aspirations of being a camera operator and after this, I knew I had to add Steadicam op to that as well.
Took a workshop with Janice to learn the basics.
Talked an indie production I was working on into securing a rig for me to fly for their shoot. Got the itch real bad after this.
Scraped together some money to buy a used Flyer, thanks to this forum.
Practice, practice. Yada yada.
Tried not to completely embarrass myself on a oner last summer on an indie feature.
Family situation worked out where we could move from Illinois to the LA area and now I'm looking to meet some new people. I reached out to Janice and she recommended I come here.
I've mostly been a lurker here aside from facilitating my Flyer purchase, but I have been really impressed by the generosity and kindness I've seen from the community.
I could really use a West Coast mentor and if anyone out there would be kind enough to take me under their wing, I'd be incredibly grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Craig Schumacher
