Premium Members Peter Abraham Posted July 30, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 I had this vague memory of being told that Ted Churchill was one of the hand-held cameramen at "Woodstock" who shot a lot of the stage performances. It's not on his IMDB. Anyone know definitively if this is b.s. that was passed along, or if he really did do some of the shooting.

Premium Members Peter Abraham Posted July 31, 2006 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Excellent, thanks. Now, if a train leaves the Santa Ana station heading northwest towards Chicago at 62mph, and at the same time another train leaves 30th Street Station in Philly heading south for Atlanta, what was the pin configuration for the early MovieCam Compact bodies that got switched to 24 volts? :D (Bonus points if you can identify the difference with Hand-Held Films bodies opposed to every other freakin' body out there..... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was pin 1 (-) pin 3 and 4 (+) but pin 4 kept breaking off If memory serves... I think HandHeld had it set for : pin 1 (-) pin 2 (+) I do remember having to build a cable that was set up for: pin 1 (-) pin 2, 3, 4 (+) Denis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Peter Abraham Posted August 6, 2006 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Alf, et al, thank you so much. Very cool.

Premium Members Mark OKane Posted October 20, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Ted talked about what it was like being at Woodstock when we were hanging out once. Miss that guy. I always wonder if things might have gone differently If I was just in the right place at the right time.Life doesn't work that way. He really put the word "class" into Steadicam. Has anyone talked to his brother Jack lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Charles Papert Posted October 20, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 I always wonder if things might have gone differently If I was just in the right place at the right time I hear you Mark, I think a lot of us feel the same. I was trying to see if I could find a working contact for Jack a while ago since no-one seems to have a copy of the "Day in the life of a Steadicam operator" video that Ted made years ago. Didn't have much luck though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Mark OKane Posted October 20, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Good to hear from you. I will try to locate Jack. I don't have a copy either. I would like to get one before it is "lost". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Charles Papert Posted October 20, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Speaking of old videos, we were treated to a wonderful surprise at the recent SOC event: GB had uncovered his long-thought-lost original demo reel from the prototype. Highlights include Jonathan as a tot rolling around on the lawn and GB's now-wife Ellen running the Art Museum steps (both up and down!) with GB in hot pursuit. Fascinating historical footage. Hopefully this will be posted for all to see soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Erwin Landau Posted October 20, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Garrett gave me Jack's phone number when I was researching for a book... last year I believe. Never dared to call him... even as he e-mailed me back years ago when I started out... Erwin "Chicken" Landau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
