David Montroni Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Hi all; With all the ops on multi camera and audience events they should sell the back of the vest as ad space and cut us in on it ! Wow a whole new income stream!! Janice At the 2014 Winter X Games I was demoing a GoPro competitor- Reel Cameras HD Slayer- on my rig mounted below my lens. I also had on a Reel Cameras hat a few days. That brought some definite attention and I had a few discussions with both viewers and athletes about it. I try to go with show blacks as often as possible, if not just darker colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Peter Abraham Posted February 15, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I'm with Dave here. Fair to say that sometimes, Show Blacks can be more pricey than others. Tuxedo from formal wear shop: $ 350.00 Custom work on oversize Tuxedo jacket that fit over Steadicam Vest: $ 125.00 Black Nike sneakers: $ 100.00 Look on Producers face when I showed up in formal wear to shoot Hispanic Heritage Awards ceremony at the Kennedy Center: Priceless. :D 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiel Michael Eulberg Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I wear a ninja turtles headband. Keeps the sweat out of my eyes and is a great way to get remembered by production. It has been great branding for me thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members William Demeritt Posted February 15, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Colleagues that I look up to told me: "Years ago, everyone working on set wore collared shirts with ties. You should too." Since then, I've accumulated a lot of black polo shirts (long and short sleeve), minimal branding (ADIDAS or Nike), all dry-fit. ADIDAS dry-fit golf slacks are great too. I previously had a sticker on my PRO 2 green screen monitor that said "The beatings will continue until morale improves!" Funny, and true, but I've since removed anything from my rig or outfits that indicate I'm anything other than professional. I'll let my sense of humor disarm people, but I TRY to keep my gear nothing but professional. Although I still want to make a shirt out of my favorite quote from Rob V: "Nobody cares about your stupid show more than me!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Kris Torch Wilson Posted February 16, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Geesh, now I'm starting to think this wasn't appropriate the night the Duck Dynasty cast was on Kimmel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Eric Fletcher S.O.C. Posted February 16, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 How about Show White Tie? a funny independent film about the secret society ball in St. Louis. In it's entire history no outsiders have been allowed in and no cameras have been permitted. The complete shooting crew was in White Tie and Tails for the men and Formal Dresses for the women. I had two Tail coats that night One that I wore the steadicam suit under and one for when we were at the dinner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Kolb Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Very cool Eric! I was on a society project in London just last month, not quite as formal, but after a week in a suit it had me longing for my broadcast attire. I'm with Will in trying to wear polos over t-shirts. Sometimes it's the little things which make the impression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Peter Abraham Posted February 16, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Food for thought, Will. I've always worn show blacks. Never thought to wear a collared long sleeved black shirt. Something new to try !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted February 16, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I'm with Uncle Teddy on this one...dress like crap and look the same at the end of the day. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought to wear a collared long sleeved black shirt. Something new to try !!! I'm fond of 1/4 zip long sleeve shirts. They still form a collar unzipped, or zip up to keep your neck warm. No buttons or zipper to press against the chest spar on your vest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Choi Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Anyone know if there exists a steadicam rig for GoPros? I've seen multiple stabilizers of various sorts that you hold with one hand, but what if you want to attach multiple things onto the rig? (lighting, batteries, cords or field monitors) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
