Premium Members Richard Williamson Posted July 10, 2022 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 Hey! Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this on but wanted some pro ops to critique my first steadicam gig. For some background this was shot using the Red Komodo with a canon 15-47 CNE lens. I was pulling focus using a tilta nucleus handgrip rigged up to my gimbal handle so that made it pretty hard especially for being my first gig but luckily most of the shots didn't require much pulling. I definitely notice the horizon being off for some of these but any other comments you may have that might help would greatly be appreciated! Thanks!

Dustin Supencheck Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 I'm brand new into steadicam myself (just bought my first rig last week) and I'd be horrified this being my first gig! Look at all those people! Yeah the horizon was floating around a bit, but it kind of ads to the energy of the event. You also had some great whip pans! Super confident landings on those. I'm sure some of the pros on here can provide some better feedback. Cheers, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Bryan Trieb SOC Posted July 20, 2022 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 Always wear full blacks...so you blend with as much of the background and can stay hidden in the shadows as much as possible. That screaming white t shirt makes you stand out and more easily seen by other cameras which is a big no no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Richard Williamson Posted July 22, 2022 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 @Bryan Trieb SOC Yeah for sure. For the other days i had been in the crowd so it didn't matter as much but i was told to go up on stage kinda last minute. I was kicking myself over it lol.
