You did a great job of stepping us through the process and painting a picture of what it entailed. Very clever use of mapping the "float" during the time-lapse.

Premium Members Joe Lawry Posted September 15, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Cheers for the blog post Ben, a really cool read! after a few more watches full screening it on a decent monitor I finally noticed the cut's in the hallway scene, but that was me pixel peeping. Once again an amazing shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Eden Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 That has to be one of the best steadicam shots I have ever seen. Absolutely fantastic work Ben and everyone involved. I really enjoy being so engrossed in the scenario to the point where I forget what the camera is actually doing, and how the camera is being wrangled... IE steadicam etc. I am a fellow steadicam operator and I hope I can achieve a spot like that. Very inspiring and very emotive. Again great work and that should be in the top 20 of best steadicam shots.. and just to expand.. The 2009 Eurovision shot is an amazing shot, and not to take anything away from what the operator did.. But what Ben and the director and crew have achieved with the 5 minutes is just beautiful choreography between the talent and the crew. Just a pleasure to watch and I didn't want the scene to end. And.... What amazing lock off's man when you lock off your are like a friggen tripod! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Ben Semanoff Posted September 25, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Thanks everyone! Your kind words are certainly appreciated. Thought some of you might be interested in a behind the scenes video theberrics.com posted from the shoot. Please note that the video opens with a shot of me stepping onto the golf cart... it was taken during a rehearsal and you'll note that the step-on isn't very smooth... i assure you it went better when cameras were actually rolling!!!

Bryant Swanstrom Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Beautiful work. I've been dying to see cinematically shot skate boarding and every now and then I brain storm ideas for my self. This is far beyond anything I have thought of. Excellent operating, I love the transition onto the golf cart. The behind the scenes where the guy tries to sneak a peak cracks me up. The last music video I was on there was this one girl shooting epk who realizes shes in the cross fire and literally sprints full speed and I catch it all in the background. Either way, looks like you have yourself a new reel. ;-) Lets face it, its got a bit of everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryant Swanstrom Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Also, they should have had a steadicam following you following him..... Then they would have another ad for later. I mean cause who really is going all day? The crew is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
