Welcome Matthew, Belfast close enough? Are you planning on entering the Steadicam business yourself, or just passing through? All the best, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Patton Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hi Chris, glad to see a close face on here. Belfast indeed isn't too far a stretch, honestly nowhere in Northern Ireland's too big a stretch when it comes to film making. I was on the Cinematography forum and decided to give over here a look too. As for the game, I'm a film maker through and through so I won't be going into SteadiCaming wholesale, just when needed for my own projects and when asked. I do love the form and personally my entire concept of visual design is based on movement, so between my use of dollies, steadicams, skateboards, microwave plates and anything else that looks useful I'd say I'll find a use for this place in my daily routine. What do you do yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members chris fawcett Posted March 5, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hi Matthew, Steadicam mostly, and for fun, some Steadicam. We're a monomaniacal bunch over here. For more details, see my website. I don't work much in NI these days, more's the pity?or perhaps not, since I used to freelance for BBC Newsnight doorstepping murderers and dodging petrol bombs. I exaggerate, of course. I haven't been for a pint in Randalstown since I was in Homestead Studios years ago. I don't drink pints, but you know what I mean. Good luck with all your projects, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Patton Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Ah film making can be quite fun from time to time. Homestead you say, Mr. Wallace's little slice of Americana? Unfortunately he packed it up last year, which was a shame but he still produces from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Patton Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) It's a small world after all it seems. Did you do a little work for one of Mud' bands/artists or were you just passing through? Edited March 7, 2008 by Matthew Patton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
