I'd like some advice on Steadicam for Scarlet please

[constantine Tirintzis]

I again agree with Daniel here and I only have one question. Do you want to be a steadicam operator or is it just an attempt to save some money over a tide budget?
Or both?
There is no bulshit in the art, sharing a princible doesnt mean that it shares all the rest, and there are very certain technics, that you will have to learn and practice to be able to perform, how ever, if you really like the art, go for it, and start practicing, the more you do it the more you discover. But so you know its a never ending story.

And if you insist on starting on your own without training, at least do yourself the HUGE favor of buying the Steadicam® Operator's Handbook. It's an incredible resource.

Good luck with your endeavor to shoot 40 days of Steadicam! I hope you have good insurance and a very strong back.

As you're getting into the business, you might enjoy this incredible one take 'making of' shot from Hugo:

How about Steadicam shot with REAL audio? (Voice by Charles Papert, a friend of mine and a great op)
