ScarletUser Podcast NAB2010: Steadicam® Tango

[Joseph Hutson]

Yesterday, Tiffen/Steadicam revealed their latest invention called the "Tango".

I had the privilege of being surrounded by all the best Steadicam Operators as I interviewed the inventor himself, Garret Brown.

Just watched the podcast and the tango looks amazing. I got to meet Garret in November when he came up to Syracuse and luckily there weren't a lot of people so he taught me how to use a steadicam for the first time during the two days he was in town. He also gave one of the most amazing lectures I have ever heard on camera movement.

Joseph you guys are doing a great job, and a big thanks to you and your crew for all the effort, but you think you could get your exposure up a little? Im straining to see what is being discussed.

 

[Zaphod]

You need a very light camera for this.

Yeah, I shoulda corrected that here back in post. I asked Peter Abraham to operate and let me be the host of that segment so I wasn't able to get it correct right out of the gate.

I just got back from their booth (now transcoding the interview with Ted), and they said "Though you are a Tiffen certified Steadicam Operator, we are being very careful as to who can operate it."

It's still a work in progress for them, as they are still getting it made and the guys (Garret including) are still learning, themselves, all of the tricks to operating the rig.
