Barcelona based Steadicam op. Ramon Sanchez Ortega has kindly sent over more shots of his Step On/Off rickshaw in action. He has also found an ingenious use for it as an on set steadi-cart.
I have recently been shooting Steadicam on feature “Tell It To The Bees” currently filming in Scotland. The step on rickshaw was used extensively for fast tracking shots with a hard and soft mounted Steadicam as well as for hand held work.
The standard rickshaw has been up in the Lake District this week with the crew “The A Word” series 2 which is currently filming around Keswick and Derwent Water.
The rickshaw has recently been out with the crew from the second series of police drama “Safe House”, which has been filming around Merseyside and Cheshire. Balloon wheels helped to smooth out tracking shots over waste ground.
I have recently been shooting Steadicam on ITV’s new drama series “Tina & Bobby” chronicling the life of England and West Ham football legend Bobby Moore and his childhood sweetheart Tina Dean.
