Steadycam
Here are directions for how to build a steadycam.
Some fantastic examples that feature steadycam work include: Rocky, The Shining, Pulp Fiction, The Temple of Doom, ER, Bound for Glory, and a steadycam feature on The Emmys.
Our Week 5 class meets at the Ace Hardware in Glendora week 5 at 4:45 pm to build steadycams. Meet us by the front door.
Supplies to bring:
- flat head screwdriver
- drill
- 1/4″ drill bit (for steel)
- pliers
- channel locks
- hammer
- $20
Please don’t go out and purchase any tools for this project. We should enough to share if you’re missing any tools.
We will build a steadycam, practice using a steadycam, and review the dailies (the raw footage). Every good steadycam operator agrees: practice, practice, practice! Review the assignment. We will complete this assignment in class.
