Our workshop de-mystifies the steadicam, gives you practical experience, and enough material to create a demo tape and market your steadicam skills. Over a four-week period, we present the principles, exercises and creative techniques you need to master the basics of steadicam operation.
Classes start with a group lecture and demonstration.
Between classes, the steadicam rig will be available at a deep discount rental rate for private practice. Upon completion, you have the option to purchase a videotape suitable for showing to producers and directors who need a steadicam operator. Prerequisites If you know how to shoot hand-held video, you can learn how to operate steadicams. Knowing the basic principles of photography, video production and camera movement and having good coordination and balance are helpful. Experience with any model of video camera is a plus.
