Back from steadicam trip
December 28th, 2005
Back from a trip on a trail with the steadicam.
Reviewing my footage now, I walked on the trail, sometimes ran, was learning how to control the camera (not always easy) - tried sometimes to follow it where it seemed to want to go. Out there in the forest, trying to see what I want to capture next time I am out, how I want to move with it. I think I can see right away that off trail is best, moving over the land untouched, not with the trail, but as if floating over the woods. The sound, not so significant, it is more about the place. Not a wind problem that I can see with the shotgun mike. Must be how it is designed.
