One Shot Music Video

Exceptional, I have no doubt he would have the same results with a number of equipment options.

[Nicholas Davidoff]

I had to add my complements. That was some great work. Very inspiring.

[Matt Petrosky]

I had to add my complements. That was some great work. Very inspiring.

 

Agreed. Well done.

[Evrim KAYA]

Thank you Mike for giving us this wonderful 3 min of joy...

[Andrew Fletcher]

Absolutely love it. You have nailed the slow moves, this one is about talent rather than kit.

[Alex Kornreich]

Mike, truly excellent.

[Fabian Begnert]

Really, REALLY inspiring, incredibly beautiful. You should be proud Mike, make this video your only showreel.

But where does the question of post-stabilization come from? He already had the best stabilizer in the business (a steadicam). I mean, post-stabilization wasn't exactly standard when shooting was done on film, and equally impressive shots have been done with that medium..

[Adam Eden]

Excellent work, those slow moves are amazing and the framing is truely fantastic.

 

 

Well done

[Dan Maxwell]

Inspiring indeed. I am a relative newbie and feel it is important for Mike and others like him to show what can be achieved. I look forward to my training and practice paying off and having a shot like that to be proud of.

To those that were so interested in the question of post stabilisation. Perhaps you should have instead asked what forms of practice, training, experience and time mastering the art of Steadicam lead to such an impressive display of talent.

Mike I thank and commend you.

Clicked play, saw the video, and then it ended. Damn, those 3 minutes went by so fast because I was totally glued to the screen. Inspiring.

[Jeff Muhlstock SOC]

Mind blowing excellence ! Bravo. I would consider that to be one of the most technically perfect, operated Steadicam shots I have every seen. So simple, but pure. I have finally found someone who can shoot for me when I hang it up... (half kidding). This work is what every operator should be searching for, precision moves, a constant speed on the slow creep, timing, perfect headroom/composition. I applaud you !

I have worked with Mike long before, I began operating steadicam and must say, he is so talented and has it down to a science. Working as a Grip, I have spotted and moved with him on a number of shots and must say post stabilization is not needed! Truly one of my biggest Inspirations in this field! Awesome Mike, i am going to add similar shots to the practice routine!

See you soon!

[daniel hanit]

amazing work mike!!

only fellow steadi ops can appreciate your accuracy and perfect balancing/operating!!

did you shoot at double speed in order to play back in 50 percent speed?

thanks for sharing!

Very Nice Mike

[Igor Votintsev]

Excuse me, guys, but I can't be silent. Please, look attentively. I see very qualitative stedi-shot until the beginning solo (0'40''). I see normal errors on the vertical and gorizontal movement. And it is normal, the operator goes, bears, the heavy camera and breathes. His muscles are strained.
Once again I repeat, until the beginning solo I see VERY QUALITATIVE stedi-shot, but real! Then everything changes. And the picture becomes "frozen". Why only I see one it? Excuse for my English.
