Crazy steadicam

[Joe G.]

80's spandex rock is alive and well in Belarus...

You know, the F-Puller had a FIZ...

Perhaps a little too much running going on there, could of sat on an apple box and phoned it in from in front of stage.

But that step off - Damn! That was really impressive.

Probably a great big gouge in the front of that thang after it slammed into the stage.

 

[Justin Kirchhoff]

Belarus seems like it's 30 years behind the rest of the world.

 

[Ken Waller]

That was a nice 30 second shot. Crazy! but nice and to pull it off live on TV to boot.

 

[Tyler Black]

Did anyone else flash back to "This is Spinal Tap" while watching this concert? Incredible move. Charles, I was one of your students in Malibu 10 years ago. Good to see a posting from you.

 

[Danish P.V.]

Insane. Totally insane. One wrong step and you can end really f.cked up and quite for sure sell your gear (segway including).

 

[Roberto Lequeux]

fantastic shot

it actually seems he speeds up after dumping the segway.. but I guess that is just from not having close visual references until he gets close to the singer

 

[Ethan Cooper]

Oh why couldn't this thing have been Hasselhoff or John Tesh?

 

[Mike Prevette]

wow, just F-ing WOW

 

[Gavin Greenwalt]

Seems like riding on the hood of a gator would have been easier. Much less trip-on-segway-eat-dirt potential.

 

[Häakon]

Absolutely stunning. I don't know how production allowed that to happen, but it's a breathtakingly awesome move. Props to the operator.

And, not that it has anything to do with anything, but I think the song is sweet. Haha

 

[Jonathan Stevenson]

That ONE shot had to have cost at LEAST 10 grand. Steadicam, operator, segway, focus puller, insurance, brass balls... Expensive shit...

I've never used a steadicam--are those two zooms in the shot (when circling the singer and running by the guitarist) controlled by the camera operator himself or remotely via the control room?

What's that guys day rate??

Could be either, but more usually the operator does it with a handle mounted zoom controller.

 

[Chris Nuzzaco]

Dang, I've never seen anyone fly a camera like the before.

 

[Andrew Mark Fordham]

It beats the hell out of me, how did he steer the segway for that length of time and that speed, at the same time as holiding the camera, amazing work. !

some surfer experience

 

[Steve Sanacore]

I too would love to see just how he jumped off the Segway and onto the stage without a major jump in the video.

the is zoom..it the operator doing it

It is Karsten Jacobsen. He is a brilliant operator from Copenhagen/Denmark.
