Definitely go to Arrowhead if you can. No better place to learn than there. Great instructors, great location and as much time as you want to learn and experiment. Amelia Cutadean

It's really too bad you weren't "On A Boat" Great pic by the way.

I am almost afraid to watch the whole thing. I just found an interview on youtube that had clips interspersed and really have few words about the "awesomeness" of this film ;-0 Apparently it cost 6 million to produce. 6 MILLION! What could I have done with 6 Million...........

Ask Peter Abraham I know he shot at the 1996 Olympics for AOB. He is on the forum.

This might help. http://www.steadicamforum.com/index.php?sh...+board+recorder

I enjoyed watching that, thanks for making the post.

Power I can take care of by running off battery and I do have an HD monitor on my rig. It is the video cable that I am thinking I need. I do not have a lot of knowledge about the red one and just know there is an issue with the cables being different than other cams use. I am running a clipper 312 with an HD monitor.

I am looking for a cable for a Red One Camera. I have just been asked to shoot for an independent film shooting in my area and would very much like to be able to do it. They are shooting with the Red and I do not own this cable. I was asked only today about this shoot and the shoot will be happening on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. I am hoping someone might have this cable available and be willing to let me use it. If you might be able to help please call me at 859-351-2850. Amelia Cutadean

Here is a link to photos of a sun shade I made myself. Easy to do and attaches with Velcro. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=7979...mp;l=fa36a88128 Amelia

If this video was shot in France and they drive on the right side of the Street in France then this video was flipped. The driver in the opening shot is sitting in the right hand seat of the car and is parked on the left hand side of the street. If you were to flip the video then would the driver not then be sitting on the left hand side of the car and be parked on the right side of the street?

I was watching that with my mouth wide open! Amazing!

The initial conversation actually said nothing about chasing the foal around the field which at least would make more sense as a Steadicam shot even if it were somewhat impossible. What was proposed was this...."We thought you could stand in the middle of the field and just pan around as the foal ran around the field." This is why I am thinking this is a camera on sticks kind of shot.

It has been proposed to me that I use a Steadicam to get the shot of a newborn foal taking it's first steps in a field. From past experience the foal tends to come out of the barn and run around the fence line and in the case of last years shoot of this same thing it ran directly into the fence. Needless to say I am wondering how a Steadicam would benefit this shot? My first instinct would be to say that this is a shot better suited for a camera on sticks. Am I correct or is there a way this works using a Steadicam? Amelia

Yes, I echo what Peter said. From this new operator I thank all of you that came on Thursday night. I really appreciated hearing all of the advice, stories and in some cases seeing some of the things you had shot via the handy dandy iphone. I also received some tips as I was practicing a line dance on how to improve my operation from some of the visiting folks and that was appreciated as well. I was glad to see so many operators take the time to come out and spend time with us. Amelia Cutadean

An addendum to my previous post. I read about dynamic balance using The Steadicam Operator's Handbook and have gotten a better understanding of it. It is basically a rotation. If I am moving my monitor up, or if thinking of it as happening within a circle, then clockwise, the camera then moves in a clockwise direction and the batteries, likewise do the same. If I were to lower the monitor then the opposite would occur in a counter clockwise direction. I'm not sure why this didn't occur to me before so thanks for the input as it seems I was missing the obvious. Amelia
