Steadicam Operator Workshops for Lightweight Cameras

These workshops are designed for operators working with the new generation of lightweight HDV and Mini DV cameras or film cameras such as the Aaton A Minima or Arri 235

Designed to fit into a 2 day weekend, the workshop covers all aspects of steadicam operating. After learning set up and balance procedures you'll start basic exercises and composing simple shots. As we gradually introduce more advanced techniques the shots become more complex and by the end of day 2 each student will complete a complex "Grand Prix" shot utilising all the skills they've learned.

Saturday evening is devoted to theory and watching and discussing video clips of great steadicam shots.

There will be one Steadicam Flyer™ and instructor for each group of 3 - 4 students with a maximum of 12 students for each workshop.

The Steadicam Flyer™ was developed by the original inventor of the Steadicam Garrett Brown and is manufactured by Tiffen. In 2004 it won the DV Professional Association's "Best of Show" award at NAB.
Designed for cameras up to 6.8kgs (15lbs) it performs with same precision as the big rigs, and the new Iso-Elastic™ arm is incredibly smooth and you won't want to put down after the first few minutes either.

The "Flyer" is available for sale or hire from Lemac Australia.
