Premium Members Charles Papert Posted September 16, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Craig Fikse had me in for a few days on his current feature for dueling Steadicam shots. We joked about the fact that due to our height differences, my low high mode would probably come up to the same lens height as his low mode and we should get a pic of same. A few hours later we were doing simultaneous overs of two actors sitting on a sofa and sure enough, that's exactly how it worked out!

Premium Members AdamKeith Posted September 17, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I have had the pleasure of operating Steadicam on the same set with Brant Fagan, Jason Cullum and Peter Abraham at diffrent times. It was a joy to watch and learn a little from each and we are all about the same height. But I don't think Peter would fit in my vest Adam Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Lukas Franz Posted September 18, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Charles, we both have the same advantage to get "low mode" shots with regular setup. I'm not getting the height of Garrett or Craig at all, too ;-) Cheers, Lukas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted September 18, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Charles will actually fit into a Pelican 1650 (with the help of some Lisigav) so you can take him on location for your low mode needs. He's not cheap, but sassy! rb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members James Puli Posted September 20, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) Hey Guys, you'll love this one Production - Japanese Kirn Beer TVC Operators Louis Puli, Ian McMillan, Harry Panagiotidis Lens Sizes 85mm, 135mm, 180mm Shoot Length - 3 or 4 days travelling around Victoria. All 3 Melbourne Steadicam Operators working on the one job, all with Seitz focus systems, Master Series, Pro and a hotted up Mod2 (ex Bob Gorelick) rigs and all flying Arri3's, only 1 with steadimags. The shot was all just rotating around the dude drinking the beer. They didnt want to do to many takes at it, so hired 3 Operators and had them all track around on different lens sizes. Keeping out of shot wasnt a problem cos they were so tight. (even without Lisagav) And actually used real beer! Lets see you guys in the states beet this one!

The funny thing is that Craig is 5'6" tall and Charles is, well you do the math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Charles Papert Posted September 20, 2007 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Now THERE's the pot calling the kettle--uh--a math problem. Actually Doc, I think we could both fit in that aforementioned 1650 case, with custom cutouts for each. Last one in, disable the air purge please.
