Premium Members Charles Papert Posted December 14, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant. Really, though, I'm just hoping someone gets the reference.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
