This guy just called the entire camera department "cotton balls" between the director and his vision

Well if you pay people a "movi" rate everyone around you is a cotton ball/film student.

About the MIMIC, I see the thing more on a fluid head than is someone's hands. Why would you hand hold a device that's supposed to remove the hand held feeling.

Oh and I almost forgot. The Mimic is not the first product to market to do this function. The Hurricane Wheels control box could already do that although not as mobile or compact but was more appropriate for fluid head mounting. If I were running FreeFly, I would distance my company from that guy before an angry mob of cotton balls showed up at the door with pitchforks and torches...

We've just been referred to as:

 

"in a nut shell, this is removing the barriers (the crew) for creators (douchebags) to get the shot that they want"...

 

"you have 60, 70 people on set... I get it, I get the tradition."

 

"we can reduce some of the cotton balls between the director and the final shot..."

 

Sooooo, I am apparently a barrier to creativity; my job is only in honor of tradition, and I'm a cotton ball (still don't know what that means).

 

 

What the heck was FreeFly thinking in releasing this? Great marketing call there Movi team.

 

 

For those out at NAB, I'd love to hear what FreeFly has to say about this video.
