Steadicam technique feedback for walking with a stabilized rig
21 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- Feathering the rig by pushing it out slightly before beginning hip movement helps avoid jarring in the shot when starting to walk
- Consistent practice with the equipment over many hours per day improves steadicam technique
Depends on
- Critique based on footage of the operator shooting rather than footage of the actual shot produced
- The specific workshop exam being discussed has remained unchanged for years, so advice applies to that particular exercise format
