Ron that is a fantastic shot! Beautiful transitions, the shot has a great feel to it and I couldn't agree more that the actors were very Steadicam friendly! And Doc, yeah the hours on West Wing could be crazy long. I'd work 3 days and it felt 5.

Kris, please be my guest and thank you for being so kind to ask! I'm stoked you'd like to show it.

Dave,

Great thread my friend! Way to steer the discussion back to what it really is all about...The Shot!

Dave that shot is fantastic and yeah my knees are aching as well! Doc that ER shot was great, beautiful hand offs and the story about the Mystery Men is awesome!! Love it. Fabian, really nice...and to nail the lock off at the end of that had to feel great! Maybe got behind a few transitions, but very beautiful work.

I'll jump in with two short shots from way back in 2005 I think. Two of my favorite shows were ER and West Wing. Loved the way both of these shows pushed the envelope for the use of Steadicam on a daily basis. Hell they were proud of fact that they could write and execute a 5 page oner that was beautiful and be home after lunch! The first clip is a homage to Guy, Dave, Terry, Doc and all the other great operators that raced down those hospital halls for what seemed like longer and longer shots. I didn't work there til it was was down the line, but I always enjoyed it! Albert, Tom, Toby, and many more...great group!

The other short shot is from The West Wing. Loved the writing in particular, but the cinematography was always held to a very high bar. I came in after my show got canned and somehow I locked into the additional unit that ran nearly the entire second half of the season(think it was season 5, but not really sure). Looking back, both of these shows seemed a little ahead of there time...commiting to a 16x9 frame alone long before anyone else even considered such a thing and the way they held the cinematography in such a high regard was special.

Thanks for the info Chris, I'm anxious to see the new monitor!

Just out of curiosity...how does the 85% view ability on the Gen 2 compare to the Gen 1?

Thanks

John

Thanks for info Chris, I'll try to come by and take a look next week if you think you will have a demo unit available.

I was viewing the monitor with a slight tilt up from a flat tabled position ( maybe 10-15 degrees) and when tilting the sled the image became difficult to see at the extreme tilt positions.

Was wondering if the 2nd gen monitor has the same characteristics?

Thanks

John

Was able to take a look at a friends 1st Gen 16:9 Cinetronic monitor for the 1st time last week. I was feeding it a std def signal from my PRO sled using a Arricam LT. The picture quality was very good even with the low def signal and the monitor seemed to be very well made with an intuitive menu.

The image remained very consistent when moving the monitor in a panning motion, but when tilting I noticed a big falloff in the angle of view ability. Does anyone know if the 2nd Gen monitor has the same issues when tilting?

Thanks,

John Joyce

Was wondering if you still had your gyro pkg for sal?

I purchased these 9 Hytron 50's last 3/20/06 and they have been lightly used. I switched over to the Dionic 90's about 2 months ago and have been maintaining the 50's. They have been used for 1 season of tv and have a lot of life left. 2 Anton Bauer Dual Series 2400/2700 Chargers. One charger has a DDM module installed and both have the most recent chip upgrades from AB. This will allow the chargers to handle the dionic 90 batteries. It all comes in blue anvil stle PRO battery case. Selling as a system. Originally spent $4,400, but will sell for $2,000.

E-mail or call if your interested.

Thanks,
