Operator interviews


Gregg Ritchie

Recommended Posts

I am currently a camera operator for a regional television station in Manchester England. I am writing my dissertation about the steadicam.

 

I was wondering if anyone knew of any links to recources about steadicam. I specifically need opinions of steadicam users to use as references within my critique.

 

Can anyone help me? It would be much appreciated.

 

Books, online articles, etc. would be a great.

 

Thanks,

Hi Gregg,

 

Try these links :

http://www.steadicam-ops.com/soamanual.shtml

You could be especially interested in the "steadicam ressource manual". It doesen't mention the newest models, but still very nice.

 

http://www.steadicam.ca/mainfile/article/article.html

Some great articles about steadicam.

One of the only books about steadicam...

"Steadicam, First Edition : Techniques and aesthetics"

Garrett Brown's website, there is an interesting documentary film about steadicam.

Loads of steadicam related links here, great ressource !

 

And of course this forum ;)

Probably the best ressource you can imagine, have a look at the archives.

 

Have fun !

Nils.

I'm also in Manchester if you need any help.

 

A good google search for Steadicam will haul up some good stuff, there's a 'Steadicam FAQ' which might answer some of the questions you may have.

 

Joe McNally might also be a good person to speak to, he has some interesting reading on his website, www.joesjibs.co.uk, click on Steadicam.
