Sorry for intruding as I am just a DP inquiring about your wonderful world of steadicam skills. I have a situation that I'm sure some of you can enlighten me on. I have a shoot in which the Panasonic DVX100 or Canon XL2 will will be used (don't laugh), however, we are shooting with true anamorphic lenses (Elites to be exact) and are going to be using a steadicam. I'm automatically assuming with the additional weight that one of those little dv things won't suffice. The other issue is that we are tracking in front of a Great Shepard dog running close to full speed. Here are my questions. Which steadicam system do you recommend? How do we mount the camera in low mode to get at the eye level of the dog? and what type of mounting do you recommend for the operator to the tracking vehicle? Currently, we are thinking of a golf cart but will probably need something faster. The location is in a park in Manhattan so the surface will be on pavement. Any additional ideas other then a golf cart would be great as well. Thanks for your guys' time.
