Steadicam at the World Cup

[Alec Jarnagin SOC]

The company I was working with, 21st Century 3D, has come up with a new camera that is a lot cooler. Granted, bigger and heavier, but I imagine still very flyable (haven't had the pleasure yet).

Looks like a good compact system for flying, is it standard definition?

 

we had to use HD recording onto P2 cards as the film will be projected using the opposite polar method, although the P2 cards have to be changed quite frequently, the HVX also offered the possibility of shooting 50fps in PAL.

 

Occasionally the cameras had to be positioned further apart to still achieve a stereo effect on the longer shots from the touchline.

How does one monitor a 3D set up on a steadicam. I suppose there is only one camera video feed.

Is it the one in the left or in the right ? If so, how is the paralax error compensated?

among other things i work on the rugby in NZ,in test matches there are no breaks often an hour and a half buildup before the game which invariably i am a part of be it interviews or tracking around the field, this is a stop start affair, and then i run the sideline for the ninety minutes , now this is not for eveyone but i have used it to build strenght and stamina, you could takes a break but this is not for me , i run the line like the players play the game looking for any oppourtunity that comes my way, and when you do other jobs the fitness tells,television has in my carreer always demanded you stay rigged for extended periods of time and i have got used to that
