Premium Members Marc Abernathy Posted January 6, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 By the way, Chas, I'll say it again... the work you did on American History X is some of my favorite steadicam I've seen. i have to agree with my parter anthony on this one. AHX had some great Steadi scenes (DJ down the steps in the beginning of the movie right?) and of course my fave was the overcranked 360 turn at the end. i also had fun picking out your shadows elsewhere in the movie!

Phil Rhodes Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Hi, > As Peter points out, Models 1-3 sleds were a very different animal in this regard. > High-maintenance, literally and figuratively. As I think I have made clear previously I am no fan of the model 3 sled, but someone I know has one whose electronics (Okay, as far as the monitor and power distro goes, it's not like we use the various video camera boards) still work perfectly. Vacuum-tube voltage doublers and suchlike over twenty years old. It's only one example but I know there are many 3/3A monitors out there in working order. Impressive.

Premium Members Charles Papert Posted January 6, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Thanks Marc and Anthony (hmmm...I hear Latin music all of a sudden!) AHX is holding strong as the weirdest working experience of my career to date; the legendary post-production antics of director Tony Kaye were in full force during the production as well although less documented. Fellow op Rick Drapkin was by my side pulling focus and it's rare that we have seen each other in the intervening six years without bringing up some chestnut from that freakshow! For the "op in shot" thread, they saw fit to include a section of a shot that has a full-on hard shadow of myself and the rig across the main actors that is so defined that you can see which direction the Kip handle on the eyebrow was facing. Of course it was reported as a "I can't avoid that shadow" and the apocryphal rejoinder "we just won't use that part of the shot"...and yet there it is. It's even logged as a goof in the IMDB listing for the film. Although Marc, with his eagle eye, spotted a truly "Where's Waldo" hidden shadow elsewhere in the film that I had never seen, despite its inclusion in my reel for all these years...damn you, Detail-Man!

WalterKlassen Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Do you know the what's the latest with the DS split up will the vests still be supported ? Joe McNally hi Joe, a quick response on that one- all DSD vests will continue to be supported under their manufacturers warranty with Walter Klassen FX. None of the vests will be orphaned :) Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
