andreas zeiner Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 hi there since i'm new to this board and to operating a big hello to everybody. now a short question concerning system setup - i own a glidecam smooth shooter and had my first "smooth shoot" shoot last weekend - no it turned out that the pictures are ok but far away from perfect - especially i have a slight left-right movement during walks ... i tried to increase weight on the sled but i'm not sure if this is the final solution ... is it also a matter of walking technique ? are there some instruction dvds, tutorials or links you could recommend ? i've search in this forum but haven't found the proper infos. and workshops in my area are more than rare - for not to say not available :-) greetings from vienna andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Binder Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 and workshops in my area are more than rare - for not to say not available :-) greetings from vienna hello andy... you are right, that there in vienna are not really workshops any more (the filmschule did one i think every year). but in my way, i went to munic at sachtler academy for a workshop. i was practising a year before on my own. But what i learned there in 5 days :blink: just because we have an sachtler artemis, you can go there without one too :rolleyes: the link: http://www.sachtler-academy.de/ ... next workshop will be in november. i would advise you to go there! its worth the money! greetings from linz michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreas zeiner Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 hi michael nice to meet someone from the neighbourhood ;-) acutally i'm from amstetten - not really far from linz ^^ well - i think i will attend such a workshop - unfortunatly november is a bit tight for me - well i'll have a look when the next one starts and for the moment i'll do a bit of practicing, trying - are there any other resources you know to have a look at? greetings from euratsfeld/amstetten ;-) andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Binder Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 hello andy i have been in st. pölten last friday to do a steadicam-job :) one of the first things i dit was, that i got one day with an operator. he showed me a few things, so that you won't learn yourself things wrong from the beginning. very hard to come away from theese. and the other thing is: practise - watch footage - practice again - watch footage again - cry a little bit about it ;) so maybee if you have icq oder msn or something, maybee we can contact each other if you want :) greets michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreas zeiner Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 hi michael thanks for your answer ... you got mail ;-) contact would be great especially there are not many operatores around this area ;-) greetings andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
