Pro Vest+Steadicam OP in a tv commercial for...breakfast wafers???

[Mariano Costa]

Some weeks ago I thought I was hallucinating while the commercials break was running in tv - for the fracture of a second I got a glimpse of something which looked like the upper part of a Pro vest. I then googled it quickly - and strange enough! It`s a commercial still airing, proclaiming that "Knoppers" gives you energy for a good start of the day, regardless what you`re doing: art, camera operating or whatever :D

That's awesome! I will buy their product now. I wonder who the operator is.

Haha, it's funny to find that commercial here. I worked in that one, and did the casting for it as well ;) but they wanted someone more "blonde". The operator is Lionel Garrote. I will sure tell him to watch it next time I speak with him.

You`re welcome! I love the fact that Steadicam is not such an otherworldly thing anymore and pops up here and there! And great to learn that he`s a real OP because I doubted that any actor would do such a move like he did on the last shot without having real Steadicam skills.
