Premium Members Ramon Engle Posted March 2, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Good job Ramon, I have watched the show, my girlfriend loves it. And it's fascinating to hear that Alton Brown was a Steadicam operator!! what's with these Brown chaps. I've seen those shots where he is wearing the (presumably lipstick) camera, now I'm hoping to see him parading around on camera in the rig... Hey! Bite your tongue! I need a job!

Premium Members JobScholtze Posted March 2, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 I wasnt sure if i would post my ar experience here, but what the hell........ I just finished 11 IDOLS live shows with the AR. Yes the ar is new overhere, and new for the director too. But he was amazing helping and discovering the do's and dont's of the AR in liveshows. I was using a thompson wireless camera and we made some changes for the antennas. It preformed great. MK-V has been fantastic with the care i needed to get started. Overall i am happy with the extra i can deliver with this system. Job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher TJ McGuire SOC Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I've just completed a 3-D test shoot with the AR for a forthcoming slasher movie. The AR creates some pretty amazing perspective changes which really shows off the 3-D effect. Howard Smith just completed a movie that has more than 90% AR shots that we're shot in 3-D. Its exciting to see the hardware working in tandem with state of the art technology. I'm looking forward to seeing both movies in all their AR / 3-D slendor. Meanwhile, I'm off to Asia to shoot 1st Unit A-Cam exclusively with the AR. Congrats to Job for some fantastic work on 'Idols', some steadfast footwork, great transitions with zooms in shot. Am also, looking forward to seeing Buzz's work on Eddie Murphys forthcoming release. And Mr. Steve Campenellis AR work on Clint Eastwoods - 'The Changeling'. There are plenty of other AR Ops that are working hard with the AR using it for solid Steadicam work and pushing it through transitions. Its exciting to see commercials, features and TV work that has been serviced by the AR and knowing that the Owner/Operator has worked hard to educate production into how best to utilize the rig. Good work, fellas! My Best - Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Amando Crespo Posted August 17, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Just wondering if anyone has any (new) info on the Alien/ Tiffen sled that's in the works?

He´s one of most important steadicam op in Spain (may be his enterprise all over the world), and he´s also a very good technical about.... Well, he said me that AR.. works ok., but only have software problems, but the idea, the concept...rules right... (he has some units MK-V)... Peace for me, peace for you.!!!!

Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted March 21, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I heard a while back they were working with Lynn Nicholson to get the Alien onto a U2 -- I'm sure it's all top secret at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Williams Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Seems like the most happy AO (Alien Operators) are using the XCS rig as it is the most rigid thing out there! Does this mean Tiffen will be selling the Alien in N America? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
