I've already posted this on the Facebook group but after 200 likes and 8 shares in the last couple of days, it seems to be worth the risk of redundancy, so here it is for those non-Facebookers.

 

On a commercial I shot this week we had a single crane shot scheduled as well as a heavy day of Steadicam, and production told me I could have either the crane or Steadicam but not both. I started thinking back to the various tricks I used to simulate a ramp in my operating days such as climbing a ramp or standing on a truck tailgate, and then thought--why not combine the two for extra bang for the buck?

 

Jerry Franck walked the plank with his rig, built by key grip Bodie Hyman and his team.
