Premium Members James Davis Posted January 18, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 "Listen here young un" I am no veteran compared to many if not most on this forum, but I will throw my last bit of advice in the proverbial melting pot here... It doesn't matter what camera you are shooting on, what kit you are using, if you run around with a crap attitude, ignore advice from people who've been working at the job/skill you want to get good at for longer than you've been alive and then proceed to generally behave like a fool you'll slide down the career ladder faster than a Teflon coated snake on an ice rink. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members William Demeritt Posted January 18, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Heeeeyyyyy Kevin. Can I get your email? I'd like to show you my reel. Can I buy you coffee? A drink? Backrub? Sorry, your rate is a lot more than what we can afford. We have several offers from other steady-cam operators with DSLR's (so we don't even have to rent lights). Can you match their rate of $250/day?

Premium Members Douglas John Kropla Posted January 23, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 This is kind of off the topic of this thread but, wouldn't it be an easy thing for you guys and gals who have a few years in the business to have a private forum? And then for the rest of us until we reach a certain level, years of experience or show exceptional talent, get invited to be part of that forum? I ask this because that is how things like the ASC or the CSC work for membership. The ASC is by invite only whereas the CSC has a little different structure. Possible? I wouldn't take that personally. I am right now working towards full membership with the CSC and it is not easy. If this post is offending I truly do not intend it.

Why have a separate, private forum when we have THIS forum? This community doesn't shun everyone who has any question about Steadicam; just the ones who show contempt and a complete lack of humility. That's not just this forum, that's the business. The way questions in the Steadi-Newbies section are handled much more carefully and cum grano salis; when you reach a level of operating that you're no longer a newbie (and you know when you reach that point) you promote yourself. Not everyone makes it that far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Baluk Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Plus, it's really useful as a newbie/student to read through the pros conversations, even if we don't have one ounce of input on the subject... it's a useful way of learning, and no reason hide it from others who want to learn or ask questions. Also, what if there is a secret forum that is unheard of and no body is allowed to talk about???!? Oops i said too much :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Robinson Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Joined this ridiculous forum of overinfated ego's and arrogance; to post this... I've just read through this thread, it's absolutely sickening, picking on this kid, some good people here, thanks to them. The elitists are a disgrace: Kid comes in, clearly new to things, just asking some advice and you all tore him apart becuase he ain't in the club and isn't pro (like you), elitist idiocy ran rampant in this thread. I am sure some of you are very good as operators, but as human's? It costs you nothing to be polite and kind. I could tell from his first post, he was new, but why not take a couple of minutes and apply the skills you DO have, check the market for low end devices that YOU feel would be the best fit for the kids request instead of telling this 'young un' why he's shit and you are all so much better/skilled/accomplished. Those that slated him for asking advice, you just came off as bitter; out of work idiots, who spent all their money and now have to resort to jumping on the nearest bandwagon that they think will get them into higher teirs of contacts/forum access. Questionable attitudes throughout the thread and certainly not in line with this Forums guidelines: "Be courteous, civil and respectful of others at all times." "Avoid sarcasm" Where are the moderators? Terrible forum to encourage this kind of sicophantic bullying, so I can only assume the mods feel that this behavior is fine. I'll post to retort, and I welcome your responses, but you better think before you post because not everyone is as patient as the OP with the kind of people described above! Once again, to those who tried to help the kid, well done and thanks, to those that tore him down, you must be very proud/imoportant/busy/clever < insert superlative ego boost here, ridiculous behaviour from supposed "elders".

Premium Members Alan Rencher Posted August 23, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 It's a good thing you joined this forum just to dig up a post that's been dead for over almost two years, and to restart a flame-war. Why don't you take your own advice and post something constructive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Kris Torch Wilson Posted August 26, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 I'm with Terry. The kid posted this in the newbie section so what exactly is the problem. After taking a peek at some of the IMDB pages of you "experts" a little humility might be in order. Go ahead, I'm a big boy. Torch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted August 26, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Kris...i checked ut your IMDB page and was most impressed with your stint on Jimmy Kimmel from '03 to '10!

Premium Members Kris Torch Wilson Posted August 26, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Ron, I'm not pretending to be anything other than a journeyman operator making a very comfortable living. No big artistic shit in my portfolio.i just don't understand why guys with equally unimpressive backgrounds feel the need to pick on kids in the newbie section. And for what it's worth, she's very, very hairy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
