Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted January 29, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Here's a piece I did some Steadicam work on recently, I was quite happy with it, there were no dollies knocking around so I was executing all the shots that had any tracking in them, we had a rickshaw for the super-low mode shot of the models feet etc to make the extreme tilt up to the dome a little easier, couple of ever so slightly off Horizons in there which bug me watching it back, nothing really ground-breaking in terms of moves, but came together quite nicely I think. Had to watch it twice to start paying attention to the operating. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Dave Chameides Posted February 2, 2014 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Mark, Thanks for posting and the kind words. Nice stuff. I love the opening dude on the motorcycle. You've got nice control of the rig and some pretty long takes in there. Good stuff. One shot seems to have some vibration. Hopefully that was in the cam mount and not the rig but be careful of that. I've had that happen to me and it's such a bummer. Hope your knee gets better and thanks for sharing. If you ever need someone to cover you on the islands, I'm always game for a trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Dave Chameides Posted February 2, 2014 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 James, Nice stuff. I know what you mean about horizon and it only bugs ya more the more times you watch it. I think I've pulled off maybe three shots in my career that I'm happy with, the rest....well.. Really nice stuff though. Slow mo is always funny to me because it can either make ya look great or make that horizon roll last forever. Your stuff looks great. Well done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Collishaw Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) https://vimeo.com/85992549 PASSWORD: steadicam Raw footage of the single best shot I've been able to pull off in my career. On top of this, the crew who lit it and the actors who played in it all performed wonderfully. 6 different lighting schemes through 6 different rooms of a house, on a no budget independent student short. took us 5 hours to set up and shoot and it was worth every second. I'll be honest, when production wrapped after the first session of shooting at 4am, the director and I both being a bit manic by this point, ended up watching this shot an embarrassing amount of times in a row. Think of a reasonable amount of times to have watched your own stuff and then like, double or triple that. This is the reason why we do this job, I suppose. That feeling is a good feeling. I love this job. Edited February 6, 2014 by Ian Collishaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azamat Yakubov Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Hi, amazing stuff you got here, guys! It's my first 2 hours at this forum, and it's really inspiring! :) Let me share with you my latest showreel as a steadicam operator. As you can see I use mostly DSLR cameras, and I like my shots zoomed in. Please, tell me what you think, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Joe Lawry Posted February 15, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Im going to post something that I shot that I do believe stinks, it had so much potential but just ended up a bit meh. Alexa, Cooke s4 25mm, my first and only Alexa Single take. Framed for 16:9 and cropped in post by the record label not being happy you could see the floor. It was either see the floor with the camera at her correct height or be slightly low and loose some floor. I dont think post animated the frame to fix headroom issues either, they just cropped straight over it. Label was on set too with an HDSDI link going to village. Painful.

Stig Indrebo Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 http://vimeo.com/86886831 Did the steadicam shots in this commercial. One of them is being time remapped trough different time periods in Norway - We go from 1950s -->1970s-->1990s-->2013. It's a pretty simple shot, but it had some timing and stuff to it. Think it turned out ok. Starts at 00:32. And no, I didn't actually travel in time with my steadicam, although that would have been really cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Dave Chameides Posted February 23, 2014 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Ian, sorry it took so long to look at that. Tough shot and thanks for sharing. A lot of elements there to be proud of and I can understand why it took so long. I love the door slam at the end. Keep up the great work!

Premium Members Dave Chameides Posted February 23, 2014 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Azamat, Beautiful stuff and a great editing job. Since you asked, while the piece is great, the one thing it doesn't show is how you handle longer takes. Maybe add one or two of those if you have them. Otherwise really nice and some dynamic shots their. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Dave Chameides Posted February 23, 2014 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Hey Joe, We've all been there. Sadly we can only do the best we can and the rest is out of our hands. Your work is still nice even though it's not representative of how you shot it. Nice moves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
