I was helping a friend out shooting some stuff for his show reel his name is Rob and this is his website http://mycreativedge.com/ and I was asked to shoot a scene from angels in america, in the original it is a steady cam shot with a few cut aways in between. So I thought it would be an interesting idea to shoot it all in one shot. Rob had borrowed a glide cam and I mounted the 7d on it.
Thats the glide cam, and after an 8 min take it is a total killer! The shots are nice very fluid and look like a steady cam rig (ish) but the pain!!! The main issue with it is the handle it is incredibly difficult to hold steady for any length of time.
Ill post some of the tracking shots when they are done so you can see what it looks like.
This is basically a blog for me to post periodically about cool stuff in film and TV and photography - sometimes gear related! By me Matt Brown below is some of the work I produce:
