Single Take Steadicam Feature to be Shot on RED

[Tanner Stauss]

I love it. So we just mount an arm to it and get it to hover about waist height. I think you're on to something here. Do you think Biff's is available though?

that way the AC and spotter can strap on.

Hey Tanner, you might be interested in these (carbon fibre Red cameras!!)...maybe a Fincher-only model :thumbsup:

Yeah, that would be amazing. I'm gonna look into it. Can someone from RED comment? Is this a possibility, or a Fincher special?

Best of Luck, man. . .

I heard that there's a Steadicam-style rig that's Carbon Fiber, as opposed to steel. . . I heard it has ALOT of play/flex, which is nice. . . and It's like 1/3 the usual weight.

Wish I could give you more info, but if you ask around, I'm sure people will know. . .

I got my Carbon Fiber rods from the Actioncam folks in Switzerland. Extremely encouraging everyone to get these.

I also took the extra couple steps by only using CF 16gig cards (sorry the 4cf 16gig set does not come with 4 Red Hats).

For what its worth, the longest single take feature is an episode of an Indian TV show, CID. http://www.indiantelevision.com/headlines/y2k4/oct/oct286.htm

It is a single 111 minute shot.

Granted it is a TV feature, but it is still a narrative feature.

Talk to Chris Fawcett about front vs. back mount

Talk to Chris Fawcett about front vs. back mount

I took two long Steadicam clinics with a.o. Jerry Holway Robin Thwaites and Chris Faxcett. Best thing I ever did in relation to Steadicam. Chris can tell you a lot about posture and he has strong opinions on front vs. back mount vests in relation to good posture. Here is his website: http://steadivision.com/ . He is a super guy and I suggest you email directly or PM him via the steadicamforum.com.

Best of luck!

I'm just looking forward to the feeling I get when the director calls cut after that shot.

...immediately followed by "One more, back to ones everybody."

The question I ask is WHY, just to break a record.
Does the narrative warrant this kind of shot. It sounds incredibly pointless.
