Premium Members Peter Abraham Posted December 2, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Let us give props wherever possible. The Steadicam Operator on Outbreak was Mark Emery Moore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Williams Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Stephen One I've always liked is "Under the Volcano" I think its about the 3rd fm last film directed by John Huston. As I understand it his health was pretty bad, they were filming down in Mexico and brought on Randy Nolan on Panaglide. Randy who is/was a very exact operator with a wonderful sense of exact framing and perfect horizons, did a very unusual set of following movements, which I found a facinating extension of the story. Because Huston could not spend as much time on set as they needed the Steadicam became the magic hurry up tool. The results though are quite interesting and really different from other Huston films. Hey stars Albert Finney, and is a not bad movie so maybe easier to watch than blade II Also by now kinda qualifies as cinema history. I did kinda like the thing where blade lands in the crouch, very karate movie!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicked_Chicken Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Lol. I'm going to get thumped for this one: Snatch (Shots in the bar with Avi, Tony, and Boris. Thought it was a dolly!) Goodfellas (The shot where he takes his date through the back entrance through the whole building. Single shot. Freakin Amazing!!! (It that shot wasn't steadicam, sorry) I also loved some of the shots in the Matrix train station (Howard :P) More to come :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Williams Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Yea the shot is Goodfellas was some terrific Steadicam. I can remember it being discussed a long time ago. I always thought Ted Churchill did it, but could not find a credit. Anyone know who? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked_Chicken Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Nope... Your right. It was Larry McConkey. Has anyone seen the Russian Ark? I hear its a 90 minute one shot steadicam film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Brad Grimmett Posted January 8, 2005 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Has anyone seen the Russian Ark? I hear its a 90 minute one shot steadicam film? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> About thirty (or more?) operators saw this at a Steadicam Guild get together shortly after it came out. Yes, it's one continuous steadicam shot and it's almost an hour and a half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Charles Papert Posted January 8, 2005 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 With truckloads of respect an admiration to Tilman Buttner, who operated and DP'd "Russian Ark", that 90 minute shot feels more like 5 hours when you are watching it... But that's everything to do with the director, who was incidentally very rude towards Tilman in some interviews I read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members JobScholtze Posted January 10, 2005 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Really? I have the dvd and the making of the russian ark and didn't see any bad interviews. Can you remember what articles? Highly respect for Tilman Buttner, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholas M. Chopp Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 "Swordfish" had some amazing photography\steadicam work. I'm particularly fond of the opening monologue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
